• Notes

  According to deed records, Newton received 200 acres from the orig. land grant on May 23, 1870. When James died without a will, a dispute erupted when widow Jane left her land to Newton and Arthur. Newton died before it all could be straightened out. There is no record of where Newton is buried, but surely it is in the McFarland Cemetery.
