| Notes |
- RICHARD NEWTON, of Colsterworth, yeoman, fourth, but third surviving, son of Robert Newton, of Woolsthorpe, was baptised 9 April, 1609. He was uncle to Sir Isaac Newton. He married, first, Alice . . . . , and by her, who was buried 20 September, 1642, he had two daughters,
I. MARY NEWTON, who was under twenty-one in 1659, when her father bequeathed to her fourscore pounds 'and also one bedd, one cubberd, one cheare, one presse, and one chest with all lynnens and other thinges therein wch were her mothers.’ She married, first, William Christian of Colsterworth, who was churchwarden in 1664, and was buried there 16 October, 1665, leaving issue two sons,
ROBERT CHRISTIAN and JOHN CHRISTIAN, who are mentioned in the will of Elizabeth Newton, 1698, as her late husband’s grandsons, and a daughter, ANNE NEWTON, also named in Elizabeth Newton’s will, who married Simon Whittle, 18 April, 1686, and had a daughter, ANNE WHITTLE, baptized, 23 December, 1688.
MARY NEWTON, married, secondly, 5 October, 1666, John Pinder, of Little Ponton and Gunby, who was dead in 1698, leaving issue, MARY and RICHARD PINDER, who are named in Elizabeth Newton’s will. Mary Pinder (nee Newton) was buried 20 January, 1681-2.
II. ANNE NEWTON, born shortly before her mother’s death, and baptized 11 September, 1642, to whom Isaac Newton, Sir Isaac’s father, three weeks later, left a legacy of 'seaven pounds of currant English money.’ She was dead in December, 1659, when her father made his will.
Richard married, secondly, Elizabeth . . . , who survived him. By her he had,
I. RICHARD NEWTON.
II. ROBERT NEWTON, who was under age in December, 1659, when his father devised to him and his heirs a messuage and other property in Colsterworth, Woolsthorpe, and Easton, to be used for his education and bringing up until he should be of age. He probably was the Robert Newton who was buried at Colsterworth 17 July, 1677.
II. JANE NEWTON, under twenty-one in 1659.
III. ELIZABETH NEWTON, under twenty-one in 1659.
ELIZABETH NEWTON, under twenty-one in 1659. Richard Newton made his will 12 December, 1659, considering that ‘there is nothinge more certaine than death and nothinge more uncertaine then the tyme of dieinge,’ and it was proved 4 October, 1660, by his widow. He desires that his body ‘bee buried in the church of Coultesworth aforesaid in decent and orderlie manner, there to expecte a glorious resurreccion att the last daie.’ He devises a cottage in Colsterworth to his nephew, Robert Christian. His widow Elizabeth was buried at Colsterworth, 27 March, 1701. She is described in the parish register as ‘Eliz: Neuton widd: to Robert Neuton deceased fanner,’ but her will, dated 1 October, 1698, and proved 13 May, 1701, proves conclusively that she was the widow of Richard Newton. She seems to be the person of her name who was overseer of Colsterworth in 1666.
