Gay and Gregg, As per the note you wrote below to Gregg, John Newton should have an estate even though he didn't have a will and it would show all his children. Usually there would be several papers in his folder. In fact, his folder with the actual papers may still be in the Pickens co. SC courthouse. You can order these from the SC archives.

Dave, I wish we could be so lucky to find a will for John. As far as we know, John died without a will. If you read what I wrote about John and what we know for sure Naomi was the only one there at the sale. All the info package number and etc is in what I sent you, under number 2. That info was only item found at the archives by Gordon Parks. John died in Edgefield County, not Pickens. I have wills of other family lines, and you are right when they have a will, it sometimes mentions children and a lot of things, but sorry to say John did not. If he did have a will, no one has uncovered it yet. I live in Texas so right now it's a little hard to travel that far, I do plan to go I hope in about two years. Since you live right there close by in South Carolina, could you go to the Courthouse for us, no telling what you may find. Newberry, Pendleton, Edgefield counties really need to be looked into. Did you receive my information on Nancy Newton being a Davidson? Gay Nix "David S.

I have a grandfather named Isaac Newton Walker who came to Illinois from Iowa in the late 1800's, married Daisy Cooper and they had 4 kids and lived in Coles County, Charleston Illinois most of their lives. I keep watching the Isaac Newtons hoping to find a Walker among them. Anybody sound familiar???

Hello Newton Cousins, I've watched as several folks have been dealing with proving just who John's children and wives were, and where they all fit into the picture. I can sit still no longer. While others are discussing our John Newton, I'm wondering why so many still say our John (b. 1740-1750, d. Nov 11, 1799) was one-and-the-same as Sgt. John Newton (b. 1755, d. 1780)! It amazes me that most everyone in our line (meaning those descended from the John b. 1740-1750), keep using the data on Sgt. Newton in their reports and data. Tain't so. They can't be one and the same. Sgt. John Newton died in 1780 of smallpox while prisoner on a ship in Charleston harbor. He would have only been about 25 years of age, according to the dates that keep showing up everywhere for him. Our John Newton died in 1799 at about 59 years of age. In Edgefield County -- Charleston isn't even in that county! While I would love to claim Sgt Newton too what with all his fame and glory, it just doesn't jive with the information we have on our John Newton. I've only been researching this family since 2002, but that doesn't hinder my being able to deduce when some dates and names just don't fit! Anyone else notice this dilemma?
