    3. Hi, I am new to the list and I believe I descend from Constantine Newton's daughter Martha Jane Newton who married James S. Baxley. In trying to keep track of all the Newton clan, I am running into some quirks that maybe someone on the list could assist. James Newton appears in the 1850 Dale County AL (Southern Division) on page 176, household 145, line 5. Enumerated with him are wife Martha A. and a daughter Elizabeth. I believe Martha A. Newton is the former Martha A. Baxley who is a daughter of John B. Baxley and Harriet Ayers. This couple, coincidentally, is enumerated two household down on same page in household 147. Martha is also enumerated in John B. Baxley's household. In between in household 146 are John Branton and Anna J. Branton who is a daughter of David H. Newton. Is James a son of David H. Newton or an elder son of Constantine? This James Newton then appears in 1860 Henry County, AL, on page 190, line 22, household 1311. Several more children are born in the 1850s that I will not list here. Directly below in household 1312 are Constantine Newton who magically went from 65 to 61 during a ten year span and William J. Newton in household 1313. For those that are familiar with this James Newton, do you show him moving (bare in mind my Alabama County formation history is very poor) from Dale to Henry between 1850 and 1860? And who is William J. Newton, a son of Nicholas and Martha Newton? These people (Nicholas, Martha, and William) were enumerated in Sumter Alabama in 1850. Thanks for your time. Gordie
