According to the book, "The Way of the Leaf," by Ted R. Newton, only 3 sons of this couple came to the colonies (this is presumed, because no further record of them is found for a period of time, rather than hard evidence that they were indeed here), and two of them supposedly returned to England. Only a Benjamin Newton is supposed to have stayed, and he left only one child, Ebenezer Newton of York Co., PA and later Rutherford Co., NC. I just got my copy of this book from the author. It deals primarily with the branch of Newtons who were in PA in the mid-1700s, and who migrated to central and western NC by 1767, descendants of Ebenezer Newton. Copies can be obtained from the author. His address and phone number are: 4601 Brownsboro Road Louisville, KY 40207 502-893-8319 I have never met him, and don't have any financial interest in promoting this book. Since I am researching the NC Newtons, I found the book informative and worth the $25 price.
