I'd like to throw another John Newton into the pot. John William Bumpass Newton was born in 1839 in possibly Spotsylvania Co., Va. He married Barbara Boxley in Louisa Co., Va. His father was John William Newton who married a Melvinia Bumpass. The Bumpass family lived in Louisa Co., Va. John W. Bumpass Newton named one of his children Walter Willoughby Newton. I can go no further with this line. Amyone have a connection? Pat
