Any male relative along the line who still bears the surname NEWTON should work for the DNA project. Of course you will need another sample with which to match, so maybe those Spotsylvania folks will pitch in as well...or who knows how the test may turn out. Maybe you'll have a pre-made match.

We had a speaker Leah Wark, she was excellent. We are hoping to get enough on each Colonial Progenitor line to establish if THEY may have been related. (CT,ME,RI Sheldon settlers 1600's) You will enjoy the speaker and they make it understandable. Unfortunately my Sheldon line has no direct sons... Now I have a NEWTON husband, 2 sons and 2 grandsons.. I am trying to remember if these generations would be enough to determine our NEWTON line.. Wilda Newton Page and others have written me over the years.. I have Jims gggf William Gilbert Newtons' father Henry Newton of Monroe Co TN, traced back from Miami OKLA, to Dallas, Co.MO to Monroe Co. TN who says in 1850 Census he was b. Ireland and am looking toward a group of Newtons in Spotsylvania Co. VA as a possibility.
