    3. A long time ago now, we had a polite controversy on this list about the children of Isaac Allerton and Elizabeth Willoughby (widow of Simon Overzee and George Colclough). At the time, some list members denied that Isaac and Elizabeth had a daughter Mary who married John Newton and had sons William and Allerton Newton. The explanation given for rejecting Charles Cochran's reasoning (adopted by _Adventurers of Purse and Person_) was that the NEHGS believed that Sarah Allerton had married a Newton before she married Hancock Lee about 1696. John Newton d. before 29 Oct 1699. Supposedly an article spelling out the details of the NEHGS's conclusion were to be published last year. I have not yet heard of any such publication (I'm not a member). If any of our listmates is a member, could you please let me know where to look for such an article if one was indeed published?
