I am looking for Jonas Newton and family in Milton, Chittenden Co. Jonas was born approx. 1764 in Shewsbury, MA. In 1785 he married Tryphene Pond in Hubbardston, MA. They had two children in Hubbardston, Abijah and Hannah (there may be more that I am unaware of). The Newton Genealogy by Ermina Newton Leonard states that "they removed, probably to Vermont." Jonas was still in Hubbardston in 1790 but I found a Jonas Newton in Milton, Chittenden Co., Vermont in the 1800 census. I am guessing that this Jonas is the one I'm looking for. By 1810, Jonas Newton and his son Abijah are listed in the Ticonderoga, Essex Co., N.Y....and, by 1818 Abijah's family had moved to Canada West although it appears that his father remained in N.Y. There seems to be a deep, dark hole in birth, marriage and death records in that time and place. Abijah married, possibly in Milton, possibly in N.Y. His wife's name was Mary and she MAY have been an Edmiston (or other variant of that name). I have a record that states Abijah was a private in the N.Y. miltia that fought at the battle of Plattsburgh in the War of 1812. Any help greatly appreciated. Lucy
