Levie Newton5 (Thomas4, Thomas3, John2, Richard1), son of Thomas and Anna (Wilson) Newton of Shrewsbury, Mass, was born there, February 17, 1728, and died probably in Deerfield, May --, 1803, in the 76th year of his age [note: not according to Franklin VRs].
He married (prob. in Sudnerland), August 2, 1751, Lucy Billings, daughter of John and Mary (Chapin) Billings of Sunderland, mass., where she was born August 9, 1731. She died in Deerfield, Mass., November 20, 1802.
Levi Newton lived awhile in Montague and removed in 1753 to Deerfield, where he spent the remainder of his life. His children were probably born in those towns. This order of them is not correct. He was a soldier of the Revolution, in the campaign against Burgoyne, in Capt. James Stebbin's Company, Col. D. Wells' regiment. Enlisted September 23, 1777, discharged October 18, 1777; Northern Department. Roll dated at Deerfield. His son, too, was a solder of the Revolution.
In the First Census of the United States, taken 1790, his family consists of himself, one male under sixteen years of age, and one female.
