Person:Azariah Newton (2)

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

AZARIAIH NEWTON (Jolni^, John. John, Richard'), son of John and Hannah (Parkhurst) Newton of Southborough, Mass., was born at Marlborough, Mass., February 5, 1720, and died at Milford, Mass., November 1, 1794, aged 75. He married at Milford. by Rev. Amaziah Frost, who certified to the marriage February 20, 1746, Sarah Jones, daughter of Deacon Nathaniel and Priscilla (Corbet) Jones. She died July 17, 1808, probably at Milford, where she was living in 1794 to enjoy the use of one-half the estate of her late husband. Mr. Newton was a farmer in Milford. He and his wife were received into the Congregational Church at Milford, April .5, 1747—the year after their marriage. They apparently continued to reside at Milford for the remainder of their lives, yet the First United States Census, 1790, does not mention a Newton in that town, while both Amaziah and his son Ichabod were both living there, heads of families at that date. The following abstract of the will of Azariah Newton mentions three children. I have not the records of the town of Milford, which probably contain fuller mention. Milford was incorporated as a town in 1750—it was formerly a part of Mendon. Perhaps Mendon may contain the births of these children. Azariah Newton was surety, with Samuel Jones, on the bond (£600) of the widow of his son Icbabod, 1778. Probably Samuel Jones was a near relative of the wife of Azariali Newton.
