• Notes

  THOMAS NEWTON, living in 1565; received ‘twenty markes in monye and a doniie graic colt’ under his father’s will. Perhaps he is to be identified with Richard Newton, of Burton Goggles who, in his will, dated 8 March, 1578-9, makes his wife executrix, and mentions his children (unnamed), and his brothers John and Richard, and Anne the daughter of the former. This Thomas had two children baptized at Burton: Anne, 27 November, 1569; and Sarah, 25 October, 1574. Thomas was churchwarden there in 1574-5. source: Foster, Charles Wilmer.
