- JOHN NEWTON III, of Westby, yeoman, baptized 25 June, 1542; eldest son in 1502; married Anne, daughter of Robert Gibson, of Pickworth, co. Lincoln, yeoman, and had issue:
1. ROBERT NEWTON, baptized 30 October, 1568; living in 1583.
2. THOMAS NEWTON, baptized 13 July, 1576; living in 1583.
3. JOHN NEWTON, baptized 31 March, and buried I June, 1579.
1. ALICE NEWTON, baptized 1 November, and buried 26 December, 1570.
2. ANNE NEWTON, baptized 20 December, 1571; living in 1583.
3. MARY NEWTON, baptized 15 August, 1574; living in 1583.
4. ISABEL NEWTON, baptized 27 December, 1580; living in 1583.
5. ELIZABETH NEWTON (posthumous), baptized 22 May, and buried 1 September, 1583.
JOHN NEWTON paid 3s. on an assessment of 40s. at Bassingthorpe cum Westby in 1571, and it is probable that the Robert Newton senior and Robert Newton junior who each paid 10s. 8d. there on an assessment of £4 in goods in 1599, were his son and grandson; and their descendants seem to have been living there in the latter part of the eighteenth century, as perhaps they do at the present day. John Newton III made his will, 25 February, 1582-3, and it was proved 22 March, in the same year. He desires to be buried ‘under the stone in the church yeard of Bassingthorpe,’ and the parish register records that he was buried under the stone next the church, 27 February. His widow, Anne, with her brother, Thomas Gibson, of Pickworth, yeoman, entered into a bond that she would truly execute her husband’s will. Under the will of her father, dated 8 December, 1583, Anne received ‘one tenement or house with the yearde and backside in Grauntham now in the tenure of Nicholas Grene or his assignes, to hold to her and the heirs of her body,' with remainder, in default, to the right heirs of the testator. After John Newton’s death, she was married at Bassingthorpe, 14 September, 1584, to John Withers.
