    JOHN NEWTON6 (Levi5, Thomas4, Thomas3, John2, Richard1), son of Levi and Lucy (Billings) Newton of Montague, Sunderland and Deerfield, Mass., was born in Montague, January 17, or 27, 1755, and died at St. Omar, Ind., September 20, 1839.

    He married, January 29, 1789, Abigail Parker of Deerfield, born about 1768. She was living in Rush County, Ind., in 1850, aged 82.

    John Newton was in Deerfield in 1775. He was a soldier of the Revolution from there, a Minuteman in the Company of Capt. Jonas Locke on the Lexington alarm, April 19, 1775; served a short term in Capt. Timothy Child's Greenfield Company, in Col. David Field's regiment, service four days on alarm at Bennington August 14, 1777; Capt. Joseph Stebbins' Company marched there, but arrived after the battle; was at the capture of Burgoyne, and out at other times. He was first sergeant in "Alarm List and Train-Band" of the town in 1787-92. He removed first to Cherry Valley, N. Y., in 1794, and afterward moved to Ohio and Kentucky. He was living in St. Omar. Ind., in 1835, and died there in 1839. There may have been other children. The only one I have found is:

    Calvin, b..... ; was living in Indiana with his mother in 1850.
