Rev Jacob Patrick Newton

He served in the militia in the Revolutionary War.

One Civil Goff, daughter of Thomas and Tomsin Mathis Goff was in Bastardy Court in the January 1809 term for having an illegitimate child. The following was from Duplin Co. Court Minutes.

Civil Goff came before the court and prayed to be allowed from out of the estate of Jacob Newton, deceased, the sum of 5 lbs. for lying in expenses on having a bastard child which upon oath she charges Jacob Newton with being the father. This child is thought to be David Goff born 1796 Duplin Co.

This Jacob Newton could be "the" brother or a younger Jacob Newton. However, I have not found a young Jacob.
