Newton’s daughter Frances was married to Giles Strangways. ....

Newton died at East Harptree on 2 May 1599, leaving as heir his son Theodore, aged 15. A large part of his will made in January and proved in June the same year is given up to the quotation of English and Latin texts concerned with justification and salvation by faith in Christ alone. Newton declared his steadfast hope of ‘life everlasting through the bitter death and passion of Christ’, and his wish to be buried without ‘blacks’ or any unnecessary expense. Among relatives mentioned were his brother John, his ‘base brother’ Theodore and ‘Mary his sister’. The wedding portions of his two unmarried daughters, Anne and Elizabeth, were to be provided by his brother-in-law Edward Paston and others as feoffees of two parts of his lands. Details of these are given in the inquisition taken at Taunton.7
