  1. 12.  Newton RANSOMNewton RANSOM was born on 21 Feb 1722 in Colchester, New London, Connecticut, USA (son of Robert RANSOM and Alice NEWTON); died on 31 May 1796 in Halifax, Windham Co., Vermont; was buried in Halifax Center Cemetery, Halifax, Windham Co., Vermont.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Fact: Was active in the Patriot's cause
    • Residence: Lived at Shelburne Falls, Mass, during his active life.

    Notes:

    It is not very clear what pursuit he followed during his early manhood, but was probably a farmer and general trader. The records show that his father gave him land which he sold to his bothers when he moved to Massachusetts, or afterwards. He went with his family to Shelburn Falls, Mass., a short time previous to the outbreak of the Revolutionary war, probably about 1770. He did not serve in the army during the war, being 53 years of age when it began. But he sent 6 sons, Ezekiel, Hazael, John, Newton, Calvin and Jabez, all of them mere youths at the time of their enlistment, but became sturdy soldiers in the Massachusetts Continental Line. The family records speak of Newton as a devoted patriot in the cause of American liberty, and as a very pious and exemplary man in all the relations of his daily life. His descendants at the close of the war scattered to make new homes for themselves in Vermont and Eastern New York, and in course of time many of them emigrated to Michigan and other Wester States, where they became actively interested in the social and political affairs of the communities in which they lived. Newton at the time of his death was with his son Luther, then a practicing physician at Halifax, VT., and is buried in the grave yard at that place.
