If it is not too late, I would like to add my name to the list to receive information about the NEWTONs -- My son-in-law is a Newton and is getting interested in learning about his ancestors; so when I saw your note,I became interested. We have no idea where his folks came from, but NC sounds like a good place to start. Thanks a bunch.
