I am still seeking any Newtons of British or Dutch origins who were Jewish. Possible locations in America where these Newtons migrated are Philadelphia, upstate New York and New Orleans - all prior to 1835. Westward migration of some of the descendents travelled to California as early as 1846. To this point, I can trace American presence to the parents Henry Newton and Elizabeth Aarons, living in London before 1798. In actuality, Henry was a Nathan. On the will of son, Louis Henry Newton b. 1798 London d. 1840 New Orleans, parents are referred to as Henry Newton and Elizabeth Adams. To further complicate this research, siblings of Louis Henry Newton often used the surname Nathan. The case if muddied by the fact that Louis Henry Newton was not buried in a Jewish cemetery. One sister married a fairly well known Jewish leader of New York/New Orleans. One brother retained the Nathan surname and nothing is known of him, save that his widow, Elizabeth, died in New Orleans in 1838 and was buried in a Protestant cemetery. Another sister married a French Canadian Catholic and died in New Orleans in 1839. Connected surnames: Aarons, Lamm, Bellow (ne de Hamel), Gunst, Hoffman, Loyn (aka Lyons) Known professions: Diamond cutting, goldsmithing, watchmaking, mercantile, shipping (including ownership of clipper ships)
