Biography

According to E. Leonard, in The Newton Genealogy (de Pere, Wisc., 1915)
DANIEL NEWTON=, SR., (son of Richard and Anne (Loker) Newton from England to Sudbury and later of Marlborough, Mass.), was born at Sudbury, December 21, 1655, and died at Southborough, Mass., November 29, 1739. He married at Marlborough, December 30, 1679, Susanna Morse, daughter of Joseph and Susanna (Shattuck) Morse of Groton and Watertown, Mass. She was born at Groton, January 11, 1662-3, and died at Southborough, May 13, 1729. She was his only wife, and the mother of eleven children, all born in Southborough

Daniel Newton, Sr., as a very young child, removed with his parents from Sudbury to Marlborough, and continued to reside in the same place the rest of his life, although the name of his part of the town became Southborough. His father gave him his portion; he married and settled, and his children were all bom, except one, during the lifetime of Richard Newton, who, in his will, adds no more to said portion except the legally required two shillings.

In the deeds given below he calls himself husbandman" and "yeoman," which are words then used for farmer. In one deed he mentions "my interest in the Grist Mill at Stony Brook." In all these deeds he signs with his "mark & seal."

I do not find that he received from the town grants of land, more than the mention of "Land laid out to Daniel Newton for allowance for an Highway." I suppose they had taken some of his land for a road, and gave some other in lieu of it. However, he did have grants from the township, as the annexed papers show. In the controversy over the settlement of Rev. John Emerson, 1702, he voted as opposed to it. Taxes under Andros, 1688, his rate was for "person and estate" £00-03-06.

In the assignment of the families to their respective forts in the Indian troubles, ending 1713, his name does not appear, while three of his son's families are assigned to John Newton's Garrison. Perhaps one of them lived in the same house with him. December 16, I705, be bought of his brother Joseph ten acres of land. February 18, 1706, he gave to his son Daniel, Jr., ten acres of the land that had come to him from his father and grandfather.(WHO IS HIS GRANDFATHER?) December 9, 1714, he gave to his son Benjamin, "upland, meadowland and swamp-land."

February 26, 1721-2, he joins with John Newton, his nephew, in giving twenty acres to his son Abraham, who had married Rachel, daughter of John Newton. October 17, 1722, he signed two deeds, transferring to his sons Samuel Newton and Nathaniel Newton all of his personal estate for a sum of money, and all of his real estate for money and bonds. In this last deed he mentions "All grants from the township of Marlborough to me." Thus it will be seen why there is no will of Daniel Newton, Sr., on record. Having disposed of his estate in 1722, he lived seventeen years afterward?, long enough to vise up the money received in exchange. And probably died in the family of either his son Samuel or Nathaniel.

Newton-847 and Newton-802 appear to represent the same person because: Same dates and locations of birth and death, same parents, same siblings, same spouse. Spouse and some of the children will need to be merged, as will some of the siblings. Parents had 12 children in all.
