About John Newton

John Newton[1] was born on June 5, 1667, in Marlborough, MIddlesex, Massachusetts[2]. John was the son of John and Elizabeth (Larkin) Newton. John married Hannah Morse on June 19, 1690 in Marlborough[3]. They had 13 children: John, Rachel, Hannah, Hannah, Experience, Ruth, Grace, Deliverence, Phineas, Eunice, Patience, Stephen, and Amos. John passed away on January 27, 1754, in Southborough, Worcester, Massachusetts[4].

Note:

According to E. Leonard, in The Newton Genealogy (de Pere, Wisc., 1915) JOHN NEWTON'\ JR. (Jolm=, Ricliard'). son of Jolm and Elizabeth (Larkin) Xewton of Marlborous'h, Mass., was born there, June 5, 1607, and died in Southborougli. Mass., January 27, 1754, when he in turn is called, "Sen."

He married in Marlborough, June 19, 1690 [T. E.], Hannah Morse [Morse.] daughter of Joseph and Susanna (Shattuck) Morse* of Watertown and Groton, Mass., bom in Groton, April 7, 1674, died in Marlborough, September 10, 1732.

John Newton, Jr., lived in Marlborough. His children were born there. In the Indian troubles following King Philip's War, his house was made one of the twenty-six '"garrisons," No. 24; and to it were assigned the families of Eleazer Bellows, James Eager, James Newton, Benjamin Newton, Ephraim Newton, John Woods and Abraham Newton. The inference is that these families lived nearest to his garrison-house and could the more quickly gain refuge. No. 24 and No. 25 garrisons were in what is now Southborough.

John Newton, Jr., mentioned in his father's will, is given: "Item. I will to my son John Newton all my Rights to undivided lands In that tract of land in the Township of Marlboro, called without Cow-Comon land, to him & his forever." John, Jr., gives bond with Gersliom Newton, the legatee and executor of the will, each £100 ; and Jolm, Jr., signs with his mark. See will of John Newton, Sr., and the abstracts of deeds bj' which he conveys to this son about 125 acres, more or less. It was the custom in those times to give the eldest son a double portion in his father's estate, and it would appear that John, Jr., was not an exception to the rule.

His father having died in 1723, at the age of 82, it was probably John Newton "Secundus" who was one of the petitioners for the incorporation of Southborough

?which became a town in 1727.

We must not confuse the John Newton "out of Boston" with those of_ this branch.
