- ROBERT NEWTON, yeoman, baptized at Colsterworth, 27 September, 1607. Sir Isaac states in his pedigree that Robert afterwards lived at Counthorpe which was, at that time, in the parish of Castle Bytham, though, since 1860, it has been in the parish of Creeton. The inventory of his goods is dated 30 June, 1646. Administration of his goods was granted, 8 June, 1649, Cicely his widow, who was buried at Creeton, 14 March, 1678-9. An attempt has been made to identify with this Robert Newton the Robert Newton, of Oundle, co. Northampton, who dying in 1677, had numerous descendants, but the evidence given above is fatal to the contention. Robert of Counthorpe left a son,
I. . . . . . NEWTON, whose Christian name is unknown. His existence, however, is certain, because (1) Sir Isaac enters him in his pedigree as his first cousin, and (2) the grandson of the unknown was Sir Isaac's heir-at-law in 1727. The unknown had a son,
i. JOHN NEWTON, yeoman and carpenter, of Woolsthorpe, born circa 1665; acted as gamekeeper to Sir Isaac. He was buried 13 October, 1725, aged 60. By his will, dated 19 September, 1725, he left land in Colsterworth and Woolsthorpe to his son John, whom he appointed executor. By Martha his wife, (who was living in 1737), he had,
I. JOHN NEWTON, yeoman, of Colsterworth, born circa 1707. He was heir-at-law to Sir Isaac Newton, and inherited his property at Woolsthorpe and Sewstern. Sir D. Brewster, in his Life of Newton, says of John that he became a worthless and dissolute person who very soon wasted the ancient patrimony, and falling down with a tobacco pipe in his mouth when drunk, it broke in his throat and put an end to his life at the age of thirty. He sold the manor of Woolsthorpe to Mr Edmund Tumor, of Stoke Rochford, in 1723. He left, however, the income of an estate in Colsterworth and Woolsthorpe, to his mother Martha for her life, and the reversion of the estate to his two sisters, Mary Bridges and Alice Newton. He was buried at Colsterworth, 22 June, 1737. His will was dated 31 May, 1737, and proved 2 October following, by his mother, the executrix.
I. MARY NEWTON, of age in 1725; the wife of – Bridges in 1737.
II. ALICE NEWTON, under 21 in 1725; living in 1737.
