.................................. Thomas Newton, Immigrant Ancestor

1612 in England.

28 May 1683 in Newtown (Suffolk) Long Island, New York

Thomas was a carpenter by trade who settled at Fairfield, Connecticut, and was one of the four who first went to Fairfield. He was deputy in 1644-45 and was Sheriff in Long Island in 1653 and was involved in controversies over lands. [Research of Robert M. Wells, WorldConnect] 1648, March 31: Thomas Newton married (2nd) Joan Smith at Newtown, Long Island, New York. "New England Marriages Prior to 1700" compiled by Clarence Almon Torrey; p. 534; The Genealogical Publishing Company, Inc.; Baltimore, Maryland; 1985 (974.0 NEa/Marriage SCGS)

Thomas Newton came to Fairfield, Connecticutt in 1639., as a carpenter. His first marriage was to Dorothea, who came from New Haven, Conn. They were married about 1645 in Fairfield.; no children (perhaps she died in childbirth.) His second marriage was to Joan Smith in 1648. She was born in 1623, Thornebury, Gloucestshire, Eng. and was the daughter of Richard Smith who later founded Smithtown, Long Island, NY. They first married on Mar. 31 but Richard took them to court because they'd married without his permission. The courts, to make sure that a precedent wouldn't be set, fined both of the couple and they then got married a second time on April 10 that same year after posting marriage announcements.


Thomas was always getting into trouble with the law, even though he held a prominent position in the community. He was fined several times for various offenses. Finally he angered one of his neighbours enough that the fellow accused him of something- probably witchcraft or adultery, it is assumed, because Thomas was thrown into jail in 1652. There he had an affair with a Mrs. Elizabeth Johnson, imprisoned for being insane (which is what they did with women who had emotional outbursts due to PMS or menopause-seriously!). She got pregnant but Thomas escaped from prison before the child was born and fled to Long Island with the help of his Dutch friends who believed him innocent. He fled to Newtown, Long Island. He died sometime before 28 May, 1683, probably in Barbados where he had purchased land and had sent a letter to the King about settling some dispute he was in--again.

Mrs. Joan Newton died in 1664.

Mrs. Elizabeth Johnson had a baby boy while in prison. He was raised by the jailer and named Benoni Smith. The jailer had him apprenticed to his son, I presume as a carpenter, using Thomas' estate money.

Benoni was born about 1653 in Fairfield. He died 4 Mar. 1703/4 , Bridgehampton, Suffolk Co., Long Island, NY.

Thomas Newton (c. 1542–1607) was an English physician, clergyman, poet, author and translator. Life The eldest son of Edward Newton of Park House, in Butley, a part of the parish of Prestbury, Cheshire, he was educated first at the Macclesfield grammar school by John Brownsword, a much-praised schoolmaster. Newton went on to Trinity College, Oxford, which he left in 1562 to study at Queen's College, Cambridge,[1] but then returned to his original college.[2] In 1569 or 1570, he published The Worthye Booke of Old Age. The book's preface was dated "frome Butleye the seuenth of March 1569", and many of his other books before 1583 were dated from the same place. He wrote books on historical, medical and theological subjects, and contributed many commendatory verses in English and Latin to various works, a common practice of the time. For many of his verses and books he styles himself "Thomas Newtonus Cestreshyrius", showing an evident affection for his county of birth.[2] He may have practiced as a physician in Butley and taught at Macclesfield school. In 1583 he was appointed rector of Little Ilford, Essex, from where most of his later works are dated. His last published work appeared in 1596, according to the 1894 edition of the Dictionary of National Biography,[2] although The Concise Oxford Chronology of English Literature states that Atropoion Delion; or, The Death of Delia, appeared in 1603.[3] According to The Dictionary of National Biography:[2] "Newton was a skilled writer of Latin verse, in which, Ritson states, he excited the admiration of his contemporaries; while Warton describes him as the elegant Latin encomiast and the first Englishman who wrote Latin elegiacs with classical clearness and terseness. He also wrote English verses with ease and fluency, and translated several works from the Latin. All his books are now very scarce; most of them have very long titles." Newton was married and the father of two sons, Emanuel (who seems to have died before his father) and Abel. After his death in 1607 (sometime between April 27, when his will was dated, and June 13, when it was proved at Canterbury), he was probably buried at Little Ilford.[2]
