Doug Newton, I have several James Newtons in my immediate line. Do you know if any came from Kentucky originally ? I have a James Newton born to Thomas and Agnes Craig, Newton in most likely Clark or Estill County, Ky. He was born about 1804. I have nothing else on him. I have a James Hudson Newton born in Aug. of 1855 to Allen B. Newton and Rachel Issacs Newton. I have him as married to Sarah Rogers though. I have a James born to Decatur Newton and his second wife Nancy W. Ashcraft, Newton. He was born in March of 1879. James seems to be a family name carried through the generations from the late 1600's to present generations ! Some of the other names in my line are Decatur, Charles, Fleming, Thomas, Mary Jane, Edna, Rachel, Hannah, Nettie, Sarah, George, William, and Elizabeth. If any of these sound familiar to you let me know. I know we had Newton ancestors go to Indianna and Ill. but would have to do some digging to find them. I have a large data base of info back with lots of detail and documentation to 1724. I have some little tid bits a little farther back than that. Will be happy to share all I have. Sincerly, Patricia Newton, Brown in Lakeland, Fl.
