This is the Henry who married Mildred White. One of his sons, Henry, appears to have been born around 1776 in NC. I listed his children and wife from his will of 1801 in Orange, NC I have not linked these men, but I have a Y-DNA match to a George Newton of Mecklenburg County, VA who is the person I've referred to in earlier posts. Then Henry Newton III who is the father of a George Newton.Ĭoincidentally there is a George Newton and Henry Newton and Robert Newton who all bought land in Lunenburg (which became Mecklenburg) VA I can send you a long research article about the first Newton in VA with some proofs, but what you really need to know is that in every generation, so we have to be very careful of who we are looking at.
