Hello, my name is Patricia Newton, Brown. I have my oldest ancestor as Joseph Newton son of Joseph and elender Newton. Joseph Newton Jr. was born in Monmouth County, New Jersey on Dec. 20,1724. He married Helena Anderson daughter of Capt. John ANderson Esquire, in 1751c and had ten children. He and Helena migrated to Greenbriar County, Va. (Now in West Va.) and lived there until their deaths. Some of their children went to Ky, In, Mo, and from there, it seems to all points West ! There are a big bunch of extended cousins researching this line from all over the United States ! I am wondering if your line may be connected to mine in some way ? I have info from Joseph and Helena down to present day. Please get in touch. Joseph and his father were reportedly also Blacksmiths ! In that era, trades were usually handed down in families too. Please contact me and perhaps we can trade info. and find a connection. Sincerly, [email protected]
