  • Note: According to his North American Family Histories biography, all of Amasa Newton’s children were born on his farm in Warren, N. Y. In 1837, he sold this farm and bought 150 acres at Metcalf Hill, Otsego, N. Y., to which the family (consisting of himself, his wife, ten children, his father, mother, and sister) removed. Here, several of the family died, and the venture was unsuccessful. In 1852, he sold this farm and later bought one in Burlington, N. Y., to which the family removed in 1853. In 1856, he wrote a “Biographical Notice of Deacon John Newton of Middlefield, Massachusetts,” outlining his genealogy for the benefit of his children. He is believed to have died the following year in Afton, Wisconsin.
