• Notes

  See "Pioneers of Massachusetts" for war record. Came to Boston in "Susan and Ellen" 1635. Settled at Watertown, established Marlboro. Taken from "Newton Family" compiled by Margaret Newton Armstrong: The year in which Richard Newton came to America has not been determined but it is known that he (and presumably his wife) came from England to Massachusetts as early as 1638-9 for at the latter time he was in Sudbury, Mass. (Pope's Pioneers). He was an original proprietor of Sudbury and allotted land there in 1640 (Gen. Reg. Vol., XIII: p.261). His son John, was born there in 1641 (Gen. Reg. Vol. XVII: p.170). He was made freeman there in 1645 (Savage's Gen. Dic. and Hudson's Marlborough: p.421), and on June 27, 1647 he was living in Sudbury and owing (sic) the estate of Nathaniel Sparrowhawk (Gen. Reg. Vol. VII: p.176). Hudson's History of Sudbury says he went to Sudbury in 1638-9. Thirteen persons, including Richard Newton, petitioned the General Court held in Boston, May 14, 1656 to grant them a tract of land six miles square which was subsequently named Marlborough. September 20, 1660 a vote of the newly organized town was signed by twelve persons, including Richard Newton. On November 26, 1660 the house lots of the town were laid out and thirty acres assigned to Richard Newton. This land was in the southerly part of the town, and on the division of the township, fell into what was Southborough. As the quantity of land granted to each proprietor is supposed to indicate his relative interest in the township it may be of interest to note that Richard Newton stood seventh in a company of thirty-eight whose lots ranged from fifteen to fifty acres. - Residence: June 27, 1647, Sudbury, Massachusetts - 1645 made freeman in Sudbury, MA - Source: NEWTON Family Author: Margaret Newton Armstrong Pub.
