THE NEWTON FAMILY.
RICHARD NEWTON was one of the petitioners for Marl., and the families of that name were numerous in the township. He came from England, was in Sud., 1640, and was made freeman in 1645. His land was in the southerly part of the town, and on the division of the township, fell into what was Southborough, where his descendants have generally resided. He probably had two wives, Anne and Hannah. The record of his family is very imperfect. Hannah, his last wife, d. Dec. 5, 1697 ; he d. Aug. 24, 1701, " aged about 100 years."

MOSES NEWTON In. Oct. 27, 1668, Johanna Larkin. Ile was m. as of Marl., and of course was in the place before that time. She d. Dec. 25, 1713. lle m. 2d, April 14, 1714, Sarah Joslin. She d. Nov. 4, 1723. When the Indians attacked Marl., in 1676, it was on the Sabbath, and the people were in the church. The alarm being given, the congregation instantly dispersed, and sought shelter in their gar- rison ; but Moses Newton gallantly remained to rescue an aged and infirm female, who would otherwise have been exposed to certain de- struction. In this heroic and benevolent enterprise, he received a ball in his elbow, which deprived him in a measure of the use of his arm ever after. But he had the satisfaction of knowing that he brought his friend safely from the place of danger.

ASA PACKARD m. July 27, 1790, Nancy Quincy, dau. of Josiah Quincy, of Braintree. Mr. Packard's life was rather eventful. At the age of sixteen he entered the Revolutionary Army as a fifer. In an engagement near Harlem Heights, he received a severe wound, which nearly proved fatal. A ball entered his back just above the hip. An attempt was made to extract it; but so severe was the operation, that the surgeon desisted, fearing his patient would die on his hands. A severe sickness followed, and when he was sufficiently recovered, he left the army and returned home. He commenced a course of studies, grad. at II. C., and was settled as a clergyman in Marl., March 23, 1785. On the division of the church and society, in 1806, Mr. Packard, at his request, was dismissed, and in 1808 was settled over the West, or seceding parish, and retained the pastoral office until May 12, 1819. After dissolving his connection with the society, he removed to Lancaster, where he d. March 20, 1843, aged 85. He was in usual health, and on coming into the house, he sat down to listen to a letter from a distant brother ; while it was being read, he sunk back and immediately expired. His wife d.
