Stephen was born on August 15, 1716.[1] He is the son of John Newton and Hannah Parkhurst. On 20 Jan 1737, Stephen married Marry Witt[2]. They lived in Windsor, Conn., the first decade of their married life and had five children born there. The first two of these were baptized in the church at Rutland, Mass.

Looking at the Hampden County Registry of Deeds (https://search.hampdendeeds.com/html/Hampden/V3/search.html), I see that in 1758, Samuel Belknap’s father-in-law, Stephen Newton (a blacksmith/cooper?) bought 70 acres in Cold Spring (now Belchertown) for the sum of fifty-five pounds. The western boundary of this property lay on what was then the Hadley line. This land became Stephen Newton’s farm. The grantor was Alexander Smith, of Hadley (the part of Hadley later known as Amherst), surveyor and large land holder, who kept a tavern on West Street south of the meetinghouse.

On December 14th of that year, the thirty-first year of his majesty’s reign, for the sum of two pounds, Stephen Newton sold to Samuel Belknap twenty acres comprising the westerly end of Stephen’s farm which was bordered on the west by the Hadley line, bordered on the south by the land of James Towne, who was recently deceased, and bordered on the north by the land of Walter Fairfield. According to the deed, this twenty acres had a county road running through it. Could that have been the Bay Road? Or what is currently Route 202? The transaction was witnessed by Oliver and Rebecca Witt, the parents of Stephen Newton’s wife, Mary.

Newton-13425 and Newton-1585 appear to represent the same person because: I agree with Barbara Healy: Newton-13425 is a brother of John Newton III instead of a son. These are the same person it turns out.

Newton-1585 and Newton-13425 are not ready to be merged because: Parents are significantly diffenent and need to be resolved before a merge should proceed.

Newton-1585 and Newton-13425 appear to represent the same person because: Same birthdates, same parent names but different parents.

I think it is a clear duplicate, parents need to be corrected.

I think this Stephen might be the same as Newton-1585, a brother of John Newton III, instead of son.
