- ISAAC NEWTON, of Woolsthorpe, yeoman, eldest surviving son of Robert Newton, was baptized 21 September 1606. He succeeded to the manor of Woolsthorpe, and to the older Newton property in that place under, the settlement of 1639. In April, 1642, he married Hannah, daughter of James Ayscough (or Askew) of Market Overton, co Rutland, gentleman. She had land in Sewstern, co. Leicester, worth £50 a year. It is not improbable that Hannah was connected with the Askews, of Harlaxton, between whom and the Newtons there was already a connection. Hannah's mother was Margery daughter of . . . Blyth, of Stroxton, a few miles distant from Woolsthorpe. The Bishops’ transcripts of the parish register of that place in the solitary Blyth entry prior to 1610, record the marriage of ‘James Aiscoigh and Margery Blyth’ under the date 24 December, 1609. John Blyth of Denton and Stroxton entered his pedigree in the Heralds’ visitation of Lincolnshire, in 1634. Hannah’s brother, William Ayscough, who will appear later, was instituted to the rectory of Burton Goggles, 1 January, 1641-2, on the presentation of the Crown, and was buried there, 6 November, 1669. In her will, Hannah leaves £5 to her sister, Sarah Cook.
Sir Isaac Newton says in his affidavit, that his grandfather, Robert, settled the manor of Woolsthorpe on his (Sir Isaac’s) father and mother on 30 December, 1639. If this date is correct, the marriage must have been in contemplation for two or three years. Newton, in the affidavit, speaking of his kinsman. Sir John Newton, of Culverthorpe in Haydor, baronet, says ‘having by tradition from his kindred ever since he can remember, reckoned himselfe next of kin (among the Newtons) to Sir John Newton’s family, and having also, about fifty-four or fifty-five years ago, heard his grandmother Ascough (with whom he lived at Wylstrope aforesaid, alias Woolstrope, till he was about eleven years old, and who at that time frequently conversed with the deponent’s great uncle, Richard Newton) say, that he, this deponent, was or had been next heir att law to Mr [afterwards Sir John Newton, of Hather, until the birth of Mr Newton’s children, who were then two or three infants, and that he or they were cousins two or three times removed, or words to that purpose; and he, this deponent, believing that his said grandmother, upon the marriage of her daughter with his father, might learn the kindred, and that his grandfather [Robert] Newton, to promote the marriage, might be forward to speak of itt, representing himself to be cousin once removed, and next heir to the said Mr [afterwards Sir John] Newton, att that time six or seven years under age, afterwards father to Sir John, Newton.
