I was so surprised to see "my" John Newton under this subject, that I forgot to ask: What Newton Quarterly and how do I get copies? Is there a national newsletter of some sort or family association that I can join? thanks again, Beth Sloan Las Vegas ----- Original Message ----- From: mercat <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, July 16, 2000 3:54 PM Subject: Re: Long Shot > Some bits from the Newton Quarterly (v.

Beth, The Newton Quarterly was put out for a while in the 1980's -- there were only a few issues, all of them copied on the FHC fiche I mentioned yesterday (see below). What I have mainly concerns the Maryland Newtons that I descend from, not the Virginia Newtons, so I'm sorry I can't offer much in the way of information from the Quarterly. I'm not aware of any current Newton society or newsletter.
