Dear Vt family seekers, tThis newspaper item was interesting to me, although I don't know if there is a connection to my Newtons. If there is anyone out there looking for Newtons from VT, please get in touch with me westerfield@charter.net . I am looking for descendents of Warren B. Newton (1815-1879) and his wife Mariah Wellington (b.1833) and their children, Josephine Newton( 1870-1955) (my ggrandmother) and Eugene "Peter" Newton. Eugene Newton married Nina Perlham (1891- 1976) and they had 5 children that I know of: Charles Newton (1912-1994) Ernest Newton (1914-1998) Melvin Newton (1916-1999) Warren Newton (1923-1996) and Dorothy Newton ?
