in America. He was one of the four men who came with Roger Ludlow to start a plan- tation at Fairfield in the autumn of 1639. In 1644 he was elected deputy, and afterwards held many offices of public trust. He mar- ried Joan, daughter of Richard Smith, a friend of Roger Williams, who was admitted

at the town of Newport since March. 1638, and who had settled at Wickford in Narra- ganset about 1639, where he owned 30,000 acres of land, and became a man of promi- nence. Smith later moved to Long Island. and with his brother owned 13.000 acres of land. now part of Brooklyn and its vicinity. Thomas Newton became involved in 1650 with the authorities of Rhode Island, and was imprisoned on a charge of witchcraft. but escaped to the New Netherlands, where he became sheriff of Flushing. Ulis surren- der was demanded by the Rhode Island au- thorities of the Dutch and was refused, and he became the subject of much negotiation between the commissioner of New England and Peter Stuyvesant, which lasted many years. He was a landholder in Middleburgh in 1655, and died prior to May, 1683. Three sons were born to Thomas and Joan New- ton: Israel, James and Thomas.
(II ) James Newton was a man of affairs, was made freeman in 1680, and held various public offices. He married Mary. daughter of Sergeant Richard and Elizabeth Meigs Hubbell. They had a large family, amongst whom Alice. born February 28, 1686, married Robert Ransom. They also had a son Israel.
( III ) Israel, son of James Newton, was born March 5. 1004. He held many offices with the town of Colchester. Connecticut. and in the colony. He was deputy to the general assembly, and captain of train band. When the colonies organized the somewhat fantastic expedition against Louisburgh, Cape Breton Island. in 1745. he was appointed major of the forces sent out from Colchester, New London and that region. "On June 19th ( 1745) came the monrnful tidings that the forces were defeated in an attempt on the island battery, with a loss of one hundred and seventy men. Among those who had fallen a victim to disease was Major Newton." Is- rael Newton had married Hannah Butler. He left a family of seven children, among whom was Ashael, who was at his father's death a minor.
(IV) Ashael, son of Israel Newton, mar- ried Delight Chapman, and died in early man- hood. leaving an only child. Ashael Jr.
(\') Ashael Jr., son of Ashael Newton. was a revolutionary soldier of the Connecti- cut line, and saw much service throughout the entire war. He was one of the picked men who led the way to make the opening in the
Palisades surrounding Stony Point to give entrance to the army of Mad Anthony Wayne. He was one of Washington's guards, and was at the surrender of Yorktown. Soon after the revolutionary war he married Ver- salle, daughter of William Booth, of New London. They lived for a time at Colchester, Connecticut, and there raised a family of ten children, the eldest of whom was William.
(VI) William, son of Ashael Jr. and Ver- salle ( Booth ) Newton, was born October 15. 1786. in Colchester, Connecticut, and died in Sherburne, Chenango county. New York, Au- gust 13, 1879. He was a fuller by trade. and later became a woolen manufacturer. In 1806 he migrated to New Berlin, Chenango county, New York, and thence to Hamilton. where he bought a farm and built a log house. and in 1807 sent for his father, mother and family of brothers and sisters, whom he had left in Connecticut. After establishing his father's family in the new lands of Hamilton, he went to Camden, Oneida county. New York, where he engaged in the woolen indus- try. In 1811 he removed to Sherburne, New York, where he bought a large farm which is now owned by Lucius Newton, a son, at what is known as Sherburne Quarter. Will- iam Newton, after his woolen mills had been burned out for the second time, gave up the business of manufacturing and settled down upon the farm above-mentioned. He, how- ever. broke up the monotony of farming by occasional excursions into the outside world, where he carried out various undertakings as the development of the country from time to time gave him opportunity. Thus we find him building portions of the Erie, the Black river and the Chenango canals: and working upon what proved to be the first railroad upon which a steam propelled car was run in America. It was a gravity road near Honesdale. Pennsylvania, and as it was about completed some of those engaged at work thereon, having heard rumors of what had been done in England, erected a stationary engine on a flat car and propelled it over the road.
William Newton married, August 22, 1810, Lois Butler, born in Middletown, Connecti- cut. December 12. 1790. died in Sherburne, New York, February 6. 1885. She was a daughter of Richard and Mercy Sage Butler. lIer family was of Wethersfield, Connecticut. where her ancestors had lived for many gen-

He was a graduate of Yale Col- lege in 1848, and located at Sherburne for about two years, and then removed to Nor- wich, where he was associated with his brother Warren in partnership under the firm name of W. & I. S. Newton. The partnership con- tinned until 1856, when the senior member of the firm, Warren Newton, upon the organiza- tion of the National Bank of Norwich, with- drew from the practice of law, and Isaac S. Newton continued the practice without partner for several years. In the latter 50's he was for two terms district attorney of the county of Chenango. In about 1867 he formed a partnership with George M. Tillson under the firm name of Newton & Tillson. This part- nership continued for a few years, when he again resumed the practice without partner until 1884. At that time he formed a partner- ship with his son, Howard D. Newton, un- der the firm name of I. S. & H. D. Newton. This continued until his death in 1889.

For many generations the Dodge DODGE family were connected with Of- ferton. The name at first was spelled Dogge and Doggeson. In 1306 a coat- of-arms was granted to Peter Dodge, of Stockport, England. The name is found in the records of Offerton, Stockport, Cheadle and Marple. In 1384-85 Robert Doggeson, son of Robert, held land in Stockport, and in 1390 William, son of Robert, also had lands there. In 1422-23 William Doggeson, mercer, as he was called in 1428, had lands in the Hillgate. He was of Stockport. They were prominent there, and several of the name held the office of mayor of Stockport. "A group of houses in this township (Stockport) is still known as Dodge Fold, on one of which are the initials
and S. D., 1742; but there are traces of an earlier building." About 1720 Samuel Dodge gave eight pounds for apprenticing poor chil- dren in Offerton, and about 1765 Robert Dodge gave ten shillings a year for teaching poor children. In 1812 Samuel Dodge was mayor. Undoubtedly for almost six hundred years Stockport, county Chester, has been the home of the Dodge family. A letter from the poet Tupper to Robert Dodge, of New York. 1847, gives the best proof that the Dodge family of Essex county, Massachu- setts, are descended from Peter Dodge, of Stopworth, Cheshire.
(I) John Dodge and his wife Margery lived in Somersetshire, England. Children : Richard, mentioned below; William, born about 1604, died between 1685 and 1692, came to Salem in 1629; Michael, lived and died in East Coker, Somersetshire, England, was church warden in 1670, had five children ; Mary, died in England and had son John.

He settled in 1638, in Salem, Massa- chusetts, and after living for a time on the land of his brother William, he settled on "Dodge Row," in North Beverly, not far east of Wenham Lake. The house he built stood probably not far from the present line of North Beverly. The farm remained in the family for years. Ile and his wife Edith were members of the Wenham church before 168. In 1653 his name ranks first on the list of twenty-one subscribers to Harvard College, the next highest contributor giving only one- fourth as much. He gave land for a burying ground, now known as the cemetery on "Dodge Row." He died June 15, 1671, leav- ing the large estate of seventeen hundred and sixty-four pounds and two shillings. He gave to his sons, John, Richard and Samuel, good farms valued at one hundred pounds apiece. IIis sons, Edward and Joseph, were given the home farm. His wife died June 27, 1678, aged seventy-five.

owned a large farm in Ipswich, which he sub- sequently gave to his eldest son, Richard. He also had land near Chebacco Lake in Ipswich. He owned a cider mill and press. About two years before his death he divided his property among his children, giving his negro man Mingo to the eldest son.

He settled in Ipswich about the time of his marriage and became a very well-to-do farmer. On De- cember 1. 1703, more than a year before his father's death, he received from him the house and lands on which he had settled in Ipswich, and also the negro man Mingo. The deed was acknowledged before Robert Hale, justice of the peace. March 18. 1703-04. He married, November 16, 1694, Martha, daugh- ter of Deacon Thomas Low, of Chebacco, in Ipswich. She died aged sixty-eight, and they were both buried in the old cemetery on "Dodge Row." His will was dated July 5, 1734, and proved June 18. 1739.

(V) Richard (4), son of Richard (3) Dodge, was born probably in 171! or 1712, in llamlet Parish. The names of Barnabas, Paul and Richard are placed in that order in a deed of division in 1737, and in 1740 the name Paul comes before Richard, after the death of Barnabas. Barnabas, who married in 1728, received a deed of one-third of the land bought from John Quarles, and Paul, who married in 1732. also received a third, the deed being dated July 3, 1734. After Richard married in 1734, he received the other third of the farm on October 2, the same year. He received the third from Barnabas after the latter's death. He sold his land in Ipswich. March 12, 1759, to Jacob Dodge, and bought one hundred acres in Sutton on the same day,
of Isaac Dodge. He bought two hundred acres, partly in Sutton and partly in Uxbridge, three days later. In March, 1762, he deeded fifty acres of this land to his son Rufus, who was a carpenter and yeoman of Uxbridge. In 1765 he sold fifty acres of it to William Batch- elor, of Upton, cooper. To his son-in-law, Reuben Town, a farmer of Sutton, he sold three pieces of land amounting to sixty-nine acres, in 1767-72-75. The last time the sig- nature of his wife Sarah appears is on the deed of February. 1767, and his appears last in March, 1775. On April 11, 1777, the heirs of Richard sold eight-ninths of his land in Sutton to Richard Dodge, of Sutton. Reu- ben Town was dead at this time, for his wife signed the deed, and the acknowledgement, December 2, 1782, called her wife of Samuel Wallis.
Richard Dodge married Sarah Tuttle, of Hamlet, published August 16, 1734. Children, probably born in Ipswich: Rufus, March 14, 1736; Richard, May 21, 1738, probably died young ; Nathaniel, December 9. 1740; Asa : James, mentioned below ; Thomas, of Dudley : Sarah, married Reuben Town: Mary.

Colonel Mi- chael Jackson's regiment, in 1777-79, and in the same regiment January 1. to April 20, 1780.

Peter Dodge. of Shelburne, Phineas, of Tyringham, Noah, of Oxford, and Nathan- iel, of Belchertown, also served in the revolu- tion. After the revolution many of the fam- ily moved to New York state.
