I do not find any familiar names on your DNA page, but feel we must connect somewhere. My Newton line descends from my great grandmother Mary Elizabeth Newton born in Tn., daughter of William Clark Newton and Sarah Hatten Acree. Do you know how they may connect? Thank you in advance for any information you may be able to provide. Sandy

Hi Sandy, I have just looked over your WorldConnect database, and from what you have there, I can only say that I don't think we have your line of NEWTON represented in the DNA Project. We had a couple of folks claim descent from the same patriarch, but their DNA didn't match...so that is on hold until we get another sample. It seems to me reasonable to suggest William Clark Newton was descended from James Newton and Sarah (Clark) Newton. I think it would be good to get one sample from the line of James (born 1766) and one sample from the line of his brother John (born 1793). Probably even better would be one from James W., and one from his brother George (i.e., one generation closer to present than the prior suggestion). There should be plenty of male NEWTONs from this line. I would really like to get a sample from this line, and also from the Essex County line, if anyone can show proof of such descent.
