Bunny Newton owned Newton Jewelry in Joplin, Jasper, MO. Big flashing sign "NEWTONS" on main street. When I worked at Russell Wright's Jewelry in Miami, Ottawa, OK he would come over to have coffee with Russ. I asked him "are we cousins"? as I knew our Step Grandmother Amanda Louise Pate Newton and her daughter Flora lived in Webb City and others in Tulsa. He always said he "was not of the Newtons that lived in this area" and he knew his family tree. Amanda Pate Newton was 2nd wife of William Gilbert Newton of Monroe Co. TN, Hamilton Co. TN, Dallas Co. MO., Miami, OK and Litchfield, KS (Old derelict mining town near Pittsburg, KS. ...His first wife was.. America Bean (1845-1871) dtr of Robert & Margaret, sister of John (1858) of Dallas, Co. MO Must be more to this family back in TN --these people disappear from MO after America d. (she had babies 1868, 1870,1871 & Wm G. (1870 son dissappeared and she is next in Dallas,Co. MO with husb, Parents and new baby -she died 8 days later-this baby raised by Amandas Pate brother.) Newton married Amanda Pate and had her own line up.
