I'm playing a long shot here. The Newton name and the name Isaac appears several times in early generation of one of my families. Does anyone on this list have the genealogy of Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727 the English Mathematician, etc. He could be a long shot grandfather to my earliest ancestor of this particular family not of the Newton name. Thanks, Warren Winchester "Undocumented Genealogy is only Mythology"

Hi Warren, I've not tied Sir Isaac's line to Red's family tree yet, although the family legend says his a several times great Uncle. I do remember this list having posts awhile back dealing with Sir Isaac's tree. Maybe if you do a rootsweb search, you can find them. I know there were hyper links to Sir Isaac's data.

Some bits from the Newton Quarterly (v. I, n. 1, p. 21): Sir Isaac's great-grandfather, John Newton, came from Westby in Lincolnshire and was related to the Newtons of Yorkshire, where the Virginia Newtons originated. from p. 22: "The Virginia line of Newtons begins with JOHN NEWTON, a Master Mariner from Kingston-on-Hull, Yorkshire, England. He was born in 1639 at Anlaby, a village about three miles wewt of Hull. His father had lands at Carlton and Campbell's Forth in Yorkshire. AFter JOhn's father THOMAS died, John as the eldest son was unable to claim these lands isnce he and his brother GEORGE had already settled in America. A third son was granted the land and his line continues today through a Sir ALFRED NEWTON, Lord Mayer of London in 1900." Sorry I don't have anything more specific on the Sir Isaac connection. Pages 6-8 of this issue of the Newton Quarterly have detailed information, but I don't have those. (See FHC microfiche #6047322). Good luck!

I am descended from John, the Mariner and had no idea that there were any kind of connections between his family and Sir Isaac's. Does anyone know more about this? Or about John the Mariner and his elusive brother, Thomas Newton who is suppose to have arrived with him?

Thanks for this interesting information. My earliest Newton was a Thomas b. 1670 m. Catherine. Their son Thomas had a will in MD. I had been looking at the Virginia John as a possible father of Thomas. Does anyone have any information on the genealogy of the VA Newtons?

Yes, I have lots on John Newton...not so much on his sons. However, my info says he arrived with brother Thomas. John stayed for a time in Maryland then followed Thomas to Va. I haven't found anything on brother Thomas, and never heard of a brother George until the recent post. George isn't a family name so that is new and interesting! Would you like a gen. report via email? How far back do you want it to go?

Which Virginia Newtons, Linda? There's a passel of us. My husband's bunch started with George Newton in Norfolk County, Va, then went to Culpeper Va, Tazewell, Va, Daviess Co, Ky, Monroe Co, IN, Wright Co, MO and then further West. Another batch of 4 brothers went into NC, then spread out from there. There's a group still in Stafford Co Va that had a Henry Newton as the original immigrant, I think and many of that line spread out also. They're the Newton Line that's been researching their Native American ties to qualify as tribal members. Wayne Newton is from that line. Then main trouble with all this is the Newton's seemed unnaturally fond of a limited number of male names, George, William, Henry, Thomas, James, Charles appear over and over. If any of this sound like what your looking for, contact me. I have quite a bit of Red's line in a data base finally, Grace ----- Original Message ----- From: "Linda Higgins" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, July 16, 2000 7:42 PM Subject: Re: Long Shot > > > > > Some bits from the Newton Quarterly (v.

Is your WINCHESTER line connected to Samuel Newton who married Anna Winchester? Samuel Newton b. abt 1744, MA d. 1831 VT married Anna Winchester b. 1776 MA, d. 1850 MA. She was the daug. of Joseph & Lucy (Harrington) Winchester. Take care Tom Newton Las Cruces, NM
