Notes

• see info re: 1444 memorial at Bristol erroneously attributed -- apparently a mistake by Susan (Newton) Archer -- to Sir. Rich. Newton alias Craddock, judge of the Common Pleas, (Herald & Genealogist, 1867, 4, p. 443).[4]^[5]

According to Burke (1898), Rich. is the ancestor of the Newtons of Bitton, Somerset & Derby, (p. 1098).[5] ... Turnor (1806), states that a Michael Newton, esq (d. bef. 1806), possessed a pedigree for the family of "Newton alias Cradock, derived from Howel ap Grono, AD 800," (p. 84).[6]

Susan Archer also restored the memorial of Sir Henry Newton of Barrs Court (b. c. 1529 - d. 1599, age 70). Henry's wife was Katherine, dau. of Sir Thomas Paston of Norfolk, (Transactions of the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society, 26, p.).[7]
