Person:Albert Newton (4)

According to E. Leonard, in The Newton Genealogy (de Pere, Wisc., 1915)

Albert Newton went to Georgetown,Mass in 1836, as a young man, and settled there. He worked at farming for a while, then learned shoemaking. In 1868, 69, & 70 he was supertendant of Grovelands Poorhouse. After that he lived on his own farm in Georgetown, Mass. He wanted to name his first child "Dorothy Wood" but his wife did not want the child forever called "Little Dolly", and they compromised on Cynthia Wood.

This I consider good grounds for presuming that his mother was Dorothy Wood.
