Notes

General:

    Virginia Magazine of History and Biography - Early Generations of the NEWTON family of Westmoreland County, Virginia, Vol. XXXVI by Charles F. Cochran, Washington, DC.  "JOHN NEWTON was the son of THOMAS NEWTON of  Kingston-upon-Hull, Yorkshire, England after moving to Hull from the County of Northumberland. Says his daughter was MRS. BERRYMAN (deposition 1755). JOHN NEWTON'S wife was MADAM ROSE NEWTON, " aged eighty years or thereabouts," dated July 8, 1709, he is called "Master and Mariner". JOHN NEWTON, JR. married MARY, daughter of COL. ISAAC ALLERTON. They moved early to Stafford County, Virginia (1689-1693)."
    Notes from Vol WFT Vol #4- #2696- "John Newton came to Virginia in 1660. He held large estates in Carleton and in Virginia. The Newtons trace their lineage back almost 2000 years to Prince Caractacus, who became King Caradoc of Britain in A. D. 53. In this line one of their ancestors distinguished himself in the Crusade under Richard the Lionhearted against the Saraceus at the Battle of Escalon in 1192. Later another, Sir John Newton, was sword-bearer to Richard I, King of England."
