Another good reference is "The Way of the Leaf. The History of Generations of Families with the name Newton and other Associated Family Names Dating to 1066 A.D.," by Ted. R. Newton, published in 1994 by the author. This book deals primarily with the descendants of Ebenezer Newton and his wife Elizabeth Buchanan (described below, in the earlier message), and researches their ancestors as well. Those researching this Newton line will find the book useful, in my opinion, and can reach the author at: 4601 Brownsboro Rd. Louisville, KY 40207 1-502-893-8319. The author believes that Ebenezer (b. 1725 PA - d. 1812, Rutherford Co., NC) was the son of Benjamin Newton (b. abt. 1688, near Oundle, Northamptonshire, England). I think the book costs $25, but am not sure.
