    Notes:

    Name:
    Rev. Roger Newton, who was a student of theology with her father, son of Samuel Newton. He was the first minister at Farmington, Conn., where he was installed on the day that the church was formed, Oct., 1652, he having preached there some time before. He remained there five years when he was dismissed and prepared to return to England. It was always been supposed that he did go to England and after remaining some time he returned to new England and settled in Milford, Conn. Later researches however, have led the searchers to believe that after he had prepared to go the ship left without him, and that he remained in New England until he was called to Milford. He was installed at Millford, Conn., Aug. 22, 1660, and remained over the church until his death.

    Notes:

    Name:
    Will dated Sep 14 1672, Inventory Nov. 13 1672, he died between those dates.

    He came from the Parish of Cheddington, Buckinghamshire, England, arriving probably in 1630 (Savage surmises in the "Mary and John"); was a proprietor at Dorchester, Mass., 1638; removed to Milford, Conn., was one of the original settlers there in 1639, but soon went to New Haven, thence returning to Milford. He became one of the most important men of the colony. He was Deputy from Milford to the General Assembly of the New Haven colony, 1653 and 1654; Magistrate for Milford, 9 years from 1654 to 2663; Assistant, 1665-1672; Commissioner of United Colonies of New England for the New Haven Colony with Gov. Leete, in 1661/2 and 3.

    he left a large property both in this country and England, valued at 600 pounds rents. (Savage) The English estate was left to his son Samuel. This consisted of lands within the parishes of Cheddington, Marsworth, Irvinghoe and Wing in Buckinghamshire, which fell to him by the will of Agnes Sears of that Parish and Shire. He also left Samuel his lands and residence in Milford. To James, he left his house and lands in New Haven, and the land which had been given to him by the Legislature. Hinman is probably wrong in saying that he was dismissed from the church at Milford to Boston Church, February, 1669, for in the records of New Haven Colony, he is uniformly spiken of as from Milford, and in his will, he is also called of Milford.

    Benjamin married Sarah BALDWIN in 1638. Sarah (daughter of Sylvester BALDWIN and Sarah BRYAN) was born on 22 Apr 1621 in England; died on 29 Apr 1663. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
