 Abstract:  James Newton was a Connecticut native who moved to Hudson, Ohio, to join the mercantile business of his sister (Eunice Newton Oviatt) and brother-in-law (Heman Oviatt). He later prospered as a farmer in Charlestown, Portage County. His brothers John and Eben moved to Ohio and entered politics. John was an Ohio state legislator and associate judge of the Ohio Supreme Court. Eben was a state senator, a judge of the common pleas court, and a U.S. congressman.

Another relative, Emma Newton, left behind three composition books (1837-1838).
