I've tried to link the NEWSOME name to any area where the JOHN we think was JOHN of M, may have tread in the Welsh Marches of the western part of English Midlands or in the Monmouthshire area of Gloucestershire but nothing of the NEWSOME name was to be found in those areas. Looking into London parishes it's clearly obvious the NEWSOME name was always in the same parish as RICHARD, and many other LONDON parishes where I've collected NEWSOME Christenings. So if JOHN PACE of Middlesex Co Va was 'exposed' to the NEWSOME name, it was not very likly from his native turf but more likely from the same environment as RICHARD whether that being in London or Jamestown area, later. So when the scene shifts to the James/Rappahannock River areas of mid/latter 1600's colonial Virginia I'd have to decide the NEWSOME name was closer to the RICHARD environment than that of John of Middlesex, yet John of Middlesex was exposed to the Newsome name, somewhere in time prior to 1693. following email: don't go away
