My Sarah A Newton was the daughter of Israel Newton & Sarah Mussick. She was born in Wayne, Kentucky and died in Miller, Missouri. I had her married to a John Denton. I' don't believe they are the same ladies. My relationship is through Israel, William Carroll Newton, William Bill Newton, Millard Newton, & Millard Arthur Newton. Do you see any connection? Any other help you can give me with the Newton's would be greatly appreciated. I can't get beyond Israel Newton. Thanks so much and Happy New Year.

Hi Merle My Newtons and several other lines represented in the NEWTON DNA project can be traced back/through colonial Virginia. Are you, or any other Newton surnamed brother/male cousin that descends from Israel, a participant in the project? If not, it might be a way for you to "narrow" your focus to at least a more specific locale to find more about Israel and his family. I would encourage any Newton male that's interested in his heritage to consider submitting a DNA sample for testing (painless, absent the expense) for a comparison and the possibility of identifying a "close" cousin who's "paper trail" is just as obscure as the one that you are searching. The shared light from several candles could well illuminate a wider circle of evidence that provides guidance for many searchers.
