From Fort Worth and the Texas Northwest:
"John Newton, was a native of North Carolina, and spent his active life as a farmer and stockman. In his generation he was a breeder of blooded horses and cattle. In old age he came to Texas, and his body is at rest four miles west of Pilot Point, on a farm owned by his descendants. He had a large number of children, three of his sons being Charles, Jesse, and John. Two daughters died unmarried in Texas and were buried near him."
