Abstracts from Will Book A cont’d
I had Fereby Newton for that spelling..married to Nathaniel Melton.
Meltons out of New Kent co Va and Hanover before 1700 and on into NC..I haven’t researched the Newton name much..but your John G Newton married Nancy Hailey in Person co 10-14-1809 might lead to finding something. Sue J
Sue, I have found a Giles Newton in Va at the right time to be John G’s father but can’t make the connection and can’t find anything to prove that “G” is Giles……. not even with his grandson, John G. ;-(
I would have to find my notes to see what VA county Giles Newton was in. Another interesting name I saw in Chowan names was Beasley. Beasleys arrive in Granville co with Newtons.
Dreaminghawk,
In snooping around a bit it seems that people are showing John Newton born abt 1760 as father of John B Newton..What other names are there..siblings? This seems to be a brick wall for others too..I was interested in this Giles line too..Showing Giles born 1734 Henrico co Va married to Elizabeth Terrell. Son Younger Newton married to Elizabeth Cargill going back on the Cargill’s to Cornelius who had five? wives..and Younger Newton had a son Giles and a son Younger..this one born 6-6-1792 in South Carolina married to Nancy Smith..and HE had a son Giles…Sue J
My cousin connected our William Henry Newton b. 1814 Va to John G Newton….. perhaps because William names a son John G.
William married Mary Jane Mann on Jan 12 1835. I have no proven siblings for William…… also remember seeing a Uriah Newton in area with similarly named sons…… gotta find my Newton notes 😉
Dreaminghawk,
John Newton born about 1760 Person co…
sons.
John B.
Uriah born circa 1788 died in Trigg co Ky.
Benjamin married Priscilla Butt.July 25, 1829 in Sumner co Tn.
Reuben
and Henry married Jemima Woodall Apr. 4 1812 in Sumner co Tn. That’s what I found for what it’s worth…Who is John Newton’s father???????
Sue J
Who is his father??? …… the $1,000,000 question
Before you spend too much time….. Bill worked on this line for me back in Jan. (Found some of my notes;-)
Bill found John G and Robert Newton as hoh in 1820 Person co. Robert is more closely living with the group my William will live with. He is as good a candidate for William’s father as John G is….. so the question is WHO is the father of John G AND Robert Newton 😉
Honestly, I am at the point of amassing any Newton info…. that’s why the Chowan info was greatly appreciated.
You know the original settler, John Newton, was a reluctant slaver in 1600s?
Dreaminghawk,
Just found this which you may have..
http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/NEWTON/1999-06/0929989096
None of the names I showed connected with Giles are here so……Giles may still connect earlier as a sibling of someone not found yet?
Sue J
For what it is worth, Sue, Butt is one of the names in my line, and one of the ones that we think was NA.

Techteach,
I thought that you had that surname..it would be so nice if we could tie as many of us together as we can with all of the intermingling.
Saj
1 John Newton 1760 – b: Abt. 1760 in Person Co., NC
……… 2 John G. Newton 1784 – 1850 b: Abt. 1784 in Person Co., NC
d: Abt. 1850 in Logan Co., KY.
…………. +Nancy Hailey 1785 – 1818 b: Abt. 1785 m: October 14,
1809 in Person Co., NC. d: Abt. 1818 in Person Co., NC
mine and Bill’s best guess right now…until we find another piece:
……….2 Robert Newton b. ABT 1790 m Mary UNK …… stayed in Person co, NC when the rest of family went to Ky…. and gave rise to my William Henry b. 1814 and all the other Person co Newtons.
