Isaac was born about 1786. He passed away about 1862. Isaac Newton has no will or other estate record in New Hanover Co. On Dec 31, 1851 he gifted most of his land to three of his sons:
NC New Hanover DB II.387 to son Joseph H Newton 301 acres, NC New Hanover DB II.388 to son David J. Newton 311 acres, and NC New Hanover DB II.406 to son William B. Newton 150 acres. On 16 Jan 1852 he sold his last 317 acres to son Joseph H. Newton (NC New Hanover DB II.415). on 23 Feb 1852 he made a gift to the children of his daughter Rachel Newton of Brooks Co, GA (See Brooks Co., GA Minutes of Superior Court, 1859-1873, Book A, p. 34.).
1852 Deed to Children of Rachel Newton. 23 Feb 1852. Isaac Newton of New Hanover Co., NC made a gift deed to William Newton as trustee for his six grandchildren Amanda Jane, Louisa Ann, Isaac James, Mary Annetta, Jincy Ellen, and Martha Elizabeth, the children of his daughter, Rachel Newton. See Brooks Co., GA Minutes of Superior Court, 1859-1873, Book A, p. 34. This document is crucial in proving the father of Rachel Newton.
This is probably the Isaac who is buried in the Wells Chapel Cemetery in North Carolina. The dates and location are close.
Both his cousin, and his uncle preached at the Wells Chapel church, formally known as Bull Tail church. These facts seem to make it almost certain that this is the place of his grave, and that he married Sedonia Bland.
The stone there reads as follows:
Isaac R. Newton
Feb. 27, 1850
Apr. 15, 1925
same stone
Sedonia Pet Bland
Nov. 13, 1860
Aug. 8, 1942

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Isaac by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Isaac:
Newton-3772 and Newton-1248 appear to represent the same person because: No dates, no sources, but a mention that this Isaac Newton is married a woman from North Carolina and I found a source that shows Isaac Newton in 1808 married Elizabeth Bland and she is on this profile, Bland-2950
Newton-3772 and Newton-1248 do not represent the same person because: Newton-3772 is poorly developed in Wikitree. There are a few sources that could be attached that are not, i.e. 1850 Census, 1860 Census of his widow Elizabeth and an 1862 estate of Elizabeth that appear to apply to this couple. Rather than merge out the Profile, it would be better to fill in more details.
So, copy the sources from this Isaac Newton-1248 over to the Newton-3772 profile? Then we can merge?
3772 is a poorly sourced (as in none) profile that's over a decade old with nothing done to it by anyone in those ten years. I apologize as I'm new to WikiTree but does merging shell profiles with no sources or work done on it into another profile somehow change/damage or mess up the profile it's merged into?
Under no circumstances should the files be merged. The file is not just a shell. It has links to his wife Betsy which in turn has links to her parents Cullen Conerly and Leticia Ward. Also, in the merge process, you would have to decide what to do with the marriage to Elizabeth Conerly. Certainly, she should not added as a second marriage of Isaac Newton in addition to Elizabeth Bland. Likewise the marriage of Isaac Newton to Betsy Conerly should not be deleted. Merging should be used when both parties are the same, which is not the case here.
Additionally, Isaac Newton-1248 is a member of a large clan of Newton headed up by four brothers. It appears that Isaac Newton-3772 is a son of Patrick Newton, who has no known relation to the four brothers. By killing the Newton-3772 profile you are stopping contributions by others. What should be done is MORE RESEARCH seeking new sources for Newton-3772. Some areas ripe for research would be tax records and estate records (not Wills) of Cullen Conerly and Leticia Ward.
Please respond by email to [email address removed] It is much easier for me to send you more information (I have a lot) through regular email.
