Mary, I have some Newtons in my family tree and know a small amount about the family.
Perhaps there is a connection that will be helpful to you.
My second cousin, once removed, Harold Neal married Carol Newton. I don't have the
information on when they were married, but I'm guessing in the late 50's. Their
fourth child is my age (b 1964). As an aside, we bought the property I grew up on from
Harold's parents.
My third cousin, once removed, John Brand, married Nancy Newton (Carol's sister, as I
understand it) in the same period. Their son Jerry is the same age as me and we went to
school together for 12 years. They have three other children.
I don't have this in my tree, because its not really a direct connection, but Carol
and Nancy had a brother. I don't know his name (but can find it if you need it). He
owns Newton Oil in Dayton. They had a son Brad that was also my age and that I went to
school with for 12 years. Unfortunately, he was killed in an accident while on vacation in
CA a few weeks ago. I don't know if they have any other children.
You likely already know all of this, but hopefully I've provided something you
didn't have. Good luck!
