Newton, George (b. 1742; d. 1786) Married about 1763 to Nancy Anne Moore (d. About 1830 Screven County, GA). Service: George served in the Revolutionary War as Patriot, by furnishing material aid. He was a soldier from the Wilmington District, and took part in the Battle of Moore's Creek Bridge on Feb 27, 1776. This was the first southern engagement in the American Revolutionary War. His wife Nancy Ann Moore moved from NC to Screven Co GA. to join George Newton, Jr. and his family. George, Jr. bought property near Rocky Ford, Screven Co GA, and at the death of his mother in 1827, established the Newton Family Cemetery on his property. Some of the family are buried there with stone markers. Nancy Ann Moore Newton has a wonderful pine marker which still stood in the 1990's. All the soft wood was eaten away and only the resin remains, leaving an unusual effect. The cemetery is on the road to Sylvania from Rocky Ford, still on the Newton farm. It is located almost in the yard of Duger & Zada Newton. The George Newton, Jr. farm was recognized by the Farm Bureau as being in the same family for over a hundred years, and featured in an article in the Sylvania Newspaper. George Newton, Sr. is buried in the Wells Chapel Baptist Church Cemetery, Highway #41, southeastern Sampson County. Cemetery is located east of Harrells, a few miles from the intersection with Highway #421. Flat granite government-issued marker with DAR plaque. GPS Coordinates: Latitude: 34.72190, Longitude: -78.15576 Grave marked and reported by Battle of Elizabethtown Chapter. Service: Continental line, served in the Battle of Moore’s Creek Bridge.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
