William (Isaac) Newton, born 1809 in NC was my great-great-grandfather. I have searched diligently for any records I can find regarding him. Nowhere have I found his name listed any way than "William Newton"; HOWEVER, my father, his father, and all of my father's aunts and uncles KNEW his name was William Isaac Newton....I just wish it were recorded in some document that way! We have never even found a family Bible! Isaac Newton (1770-1825), the son of George Newton, RS, born 1742, was married to Elizabeth Alderman. They had 6 children - 1. James Newton (1798-1856); came to GA - had a son, Isaac Thomas Alderman Newton (1835-1861) 2. Mary Ann Newton (1802 - 1835); stayed in NC 3. George Newton (1808 - 1895); stayed in NC - had a son, Isaac James (1828 - 1868) 4. William Isaac Newton (1809-1857), came to GA; had son Isaac Thomas Newton (1834-1862) 5. Rachel Newton (1811-1852); came to GA 6. Penninah Newton (1812-1843); came to GA Elizabeth Newton, the widow of Isaac (1770), came to GA with her youngest son William Isaac in 1837. There was no son with her named Isaac Milton Newton.... The name "Milton" DOES appear in this family.....in 1853, William Isaac and his wife, Margaret Ann Stringfield, named their youngest son "David Milton Newton." It is thought that the child was named in honor of a prominent Primitive Baptist preacher of the area. That was the 1st time the name "Milton" was used in this branch of the family to my knowledge, though many have carried the name since. I would like to be able to communicate with the person whose DNA results you have posted, the one descended from Isaac Milton Newton.....maybe we could compare our information and find a solution to these questions. I very interested!
