Tillery, Dessamach Dalton
***Additional change to Codicil, changing the distribution of
land, not dated, and witnessed by: Richard Lee, John Hines,
Elizabeth Needam, signed by John Newton (Seal) in Westmoreland.
At Court held for the said County the 28th day of July 1697.
This last Will & Testament of John Newton deceased above
written, with the endorsed Codicils were this day proved in
Court and probate granted. Testee: James Westcomb."
"John's parents were John Newton b. 1639, d. bef 28 July, 1697,
in Westmoreland Co, Va. He married Joan Barr. I was in the
library on Monday and read that this John had 3 marriages in
England and had a son by each wife. Joan was one and another was
Elizabeth Laycocke. I don't know who the third was. The parents
of this John was Thomas and ?. I don't have any more information
on Thomas. Virginia Co Records, Westmoreland Co, and there are
many abstracts of wills of this family and Berryman."
"Beth Sloan [email protected] was so kind to send me a transcription
of John Newton's will: ("I have a Xeroxed copy from Dorman's
Will Abstracts of Westmoreland Co. Va. I have sent to Va (over a
yr. ago) requesting copy but haven't heard from them. I am also
descended through Benjamin, Mary Rogers, Wm. Colclough and his
daug. Betty or Elizabeth who married Wm. Shearin. I have a / the
Newton line back a way if you are interested. In fact, I am busy
today trying to figure the 1504 Newton of Barr's Court and
Newton of Harptree to see if they are the same line. I am
missing documentation on John's father, Thomas of Hull and his
grandfather, John of ? , as most things I have seen say that
this John, a younger son left Barr's Court and is thought to
have died in Yorkshire.... Beth")"
"Gregg Bonner: A careful examination of extant documentation
will reveal that this John Newton had 6 children by 4 wives. The
first three wives each gave birth to one of the "English borne
sons". Unknown wife #1 gave birth to John Jr., unknown wife #2
gave birth to Joseph, wife #3 (Elizabeth Laycocke) gave birth to
Benjamin. Wife #4, Rose (maiden name unknown) gave birth to the
remaining 3 children, namely, Gerrard, Thomas, and Elizabeth.
The remaining children (those mentioned in the message to which
this message is the reply) are the product of a confusion
between John Newton, Sr., and John Newton, Jr.
John Newton, Sr., did not have children named Grace, William,
Allerton, Willoughby, or Edward. John Jr."

From Cindy Henslee Stamps on genforum: "John Frederick Dorman, a
highly respected VA genealogist, Sara Smyth James Claiborne was
granted administration of her husband's estate in October after
he died in Sept. So they did not die on the same date. (p. 721).
Further, when Sara died, her daughter, Blanche, was granted
administration of Sara's estate on 12 June 1626, nearly 20 years
later. Thomas, the oldest, was baptized 1599; William baptized
1600; Sara baptized 1601/2; Katherine baptized 1603; Blanche
baptized 1605. Sara had 4 children from her previous marriage:
Sir Roger James, born 1589; John born abt 1591; Sarah baptized
1594/5; and Margaret baptized 1596."
