NEWTON
Amasa Newton Jr., b. c. 1800 son of Amasa Newton and Jemima Nichols m. Lucinda Pollard b. c. 1803 Chenango County, New York daughter of David Pollard and Mary Landers of the town of Bainbridge (that portion that is now Afton), Chenango County, New York. Amasa and Lucinda enumerated 1830 census in the town of Bainbridge. In the church session records of the Congregational Presbyterian Society of Cilicia in the town of Bainbridge, "Amasa Newton and Mrs. Amasa Newton Jr., presented themselves for examination for admission into this Church and were accepted," dated Dec 30, 1831. This record would refer to Lucinda, but since there is no Jr. indicated on Amasa's name it may refer to his father. Amasa and Lucinda's residence was in the western portion of the town of Bainbridge, near North Afton. Sometime in the 1830's they removed to the neighboring town of Oxford, Chenango County, New York and were enumerated there in 1840. Amasa and Lucinda then removed to the Seeley Creek Valley in the town of Southport, Chemung County, New York. On 1 Mar 1848 (Liber 17:521) Amasa Newton of Southport purchased one acre and nine perches of land in the town of Southport from Edward and Pamelia Miller for twenty dollars. Almost one year later, on 24 Feb 1849 (Liber 17:522) Amasa Newton Jr., and Lucinda, his wife, of Southport, sold the one acre and nine perches to Joel Clinton. The deed was signed by A. Newton Jr., and Lucinda Newton. Amasa Newton, farmer, age 49, d. Jan 1850 in the town of Southport of inflamation in the bowels (1850 mortality schedule). He is believed to be buried in the Webb Mills Cemetery, town of Southport, no marker. His burial was one of the first in the cemetery, a few burials taking place in 1849. Lucinda and her two youngest children were enumerated in the 1850 census of Southport. Son, Starkey was married and living near Lucinda. The above sale of land was witnessed by John S. Pedrick and the Newton family was enumerated in the household next to the John S. Pedrick family in 1850. This would indicate the family lived in the Seeley Creek Valley on the main road between present Pine City and Webb Mills. Both sons were enumerated as sawyers in 1850, perhaps employed in one of the sawmills situated on Seeley Creek. Sons, Starkey and David removed up Bird Creek into Wells township, Bradford County, Pennsylvania, a short distance from their former residence in the town of Southport and where they were enumerated in the 1860 census. Lucinda and daughter, Augusta returned to the town of Bainbridge, Chenango County before 1855. Lucinda m. before 1860 (2)Thomas Newton of the town of Bainbridge as his second wife. Thomas Newton was b. 12 Nov 1792 son of William Wallace Newton and Lydia Wells who settled in Bainbridge. Thomas was a captain of the state militia and a farmer in the town of Bainbridge, m. (1)Huldah Holcomb who d. 17 Feb 1852 58y (ts) North Afton Cemetery. Thomas and Lucinda resided on a farm in the western portion of the town of Bainbridge near North Afton on lot 44. Thomas and Lucinda removed to Binghamton, New York where Thomas d. 14 July 1877 (ts) buried with his first wife in North Afton Cemetery, town of Afton, Chenango County, New York. After his death Lucinda remained in Binghamton and mention is made of her visiting relatives and friends in a January 16, 1880 issue of The Bainbridge Republican. From Binghamton she returned to the town of Southport, Chemung County to reside with or near her children. Daughter, Augusta resided there and sons, Starkey and David lived only a few miles over the state line in Wells township.
Lucinda d. 22 Feb 1886 Bird Creek Road, Wells Township, Bradford County, Pennsylvania at the home of son, David or son, Starkey. Only a portion of her cemetery marker exists, having broke in the past and a portion having disappeared. The month and year of her death is taken from The Afton Enterprise newspaper, Afton, New York and the day is taken from The Advocate newspaper, Millerton, Pennsylvania. She is buried in the Webb Mills Cemetery, town of Southport, Chemung County, New York about one fourth of a mile from where the family originally settled in the town of Southport. The remaining portion of her marker reads: _________ DIED Feb. 2_, 188_ Aged 8_ Years. Lucinda's marker is in the north half of the cemetery on the highest point. It is related her marker broke into several pieces when a young boy and his friend were playing there and climbing on tombstones. Mr. Clarence Holley, aged eighty years (son of Maude Holley Andrews who was raised by Timothy and Augusta Newton Loughhead) went with the compiler of this sketch to the cemetery and indicated the marker. The top portion of the marker is missing and a portion of the bottom has been repaired and recemented, which covers some of the inscription. Lucinda's granddaughter, Loretta Newton Oldroyd and family are buried near her.
DIED. NEWTON. - at the residence of P. R. Newton, Binghamton, July 14th, 1877, Thomas Newton, formerly of this town aged 84 years. His remains were interred at North Afton on Monday last (The Bainbridge Republican, Bainbridge, New York, Saturday, July 19, 1877).
Wilkins' Settlement - Lucinda, widow of Thos. Newton, formerly of this place, died recently at Southport, N. Y. (The Afton Enterprise, Afton, New York, Friday, March 19, 1886).
Mrs. Newton, mother of Mr. David Newton, of Bird Creek, died on Monday last, the 22 inst., aged 80 years (The Advocate, Millerton, Pennsylvania - undated obituary from scrapbook collection).
The 1830 census would indicate there were two females in Amasa and Lucinda's household born between 1820 and 1825. Since neither of these two females were named in probate records of Lucinda's sisters, they were either deceased or were not Lucinda's children, but children of a first wife of Amasa. The daughter b. c. 1825 was still living in the 1840 census enumeration, but there is no further record of her.
1. perhaps a daughter b. c. 1823.
2. perhaps a daughter b. c. 1825 living 1840.
3. Jefferson Starkey Newton b. Feb 1829 town of Bainbridge, Chenango
County, New York.

his parents resided for a period of time. Starkey and wife, Nancy W. b.
c. 1833 were residing in the town of Southport, Chemung
County, New York in 1850, his occupation being a sawyer. No marriage

records of 1847, 1848, and 1849 for the town of Southport.
Their residence was in the Seeley Creek Valley between present Pine
City and Webb Mills. They are not enumerated in the 1855 census of Southport,
probably having removed a short distance up Bird Creek
and over the state line into Wells township, Bradford County,
Pennsylvania where they were enumerated in the 1860 census, his occupation

of Lycoming County, Pennsylvania (Liber 63:366). He purchased
thirty three acres of land near his first purchase from
Andrew J. and Julia Ann Stafford, deed dated 15 Feb 1865 (Liber 71:99-100).

They removed from the town of Coventry to North Platte Precinct, Lincoln County, Nebraska in June 1872 perhaps in company with his brother, Fred and wife who also removed to North Platte. They are related to have lived above a trading post and were frequently disturbed by Indians. Augusta left Nebraska with their daughter and returned to New York state. John was enumerated at North Platte in 1880, cattle raiser and divorced. In July 1884 he removed to Buffalo, Johnson County, Wyoming.
John and Augusta were divorced before the 1880 census enumeration. Augusta and her daughter, Florence resided above a blacksmith shop at Pine City, town of Southport, Chemung County, New York, near Dry Run Creek. Her aunt Lovina Pollard Lowrey lived in a house nearby and her mother, Lucinda Newton also returned to the vicinity to reside there after the death of her second husband. Augusta m. 25 Feb 1882 Timothy Loughhead b. 7 Sept 1832, a widower with children. His first wife was Nancy Lockwood b. 21 Apr 1836 d. 28 Jan 1881 (ts) Webb Mills Cemetery, town of Southport.

Though John Landers and Augusta had divorced, they always maintained a close relationship and after Timothy's death, John Landers traveled from Wyoming to Seeley Creek to visit Augusta and then returned to Wyoming. Augusta resided at the family home at Seeley Creek and was enumerated there in 1910. She became ill with rectal cancer and was cared for by Maude Andrews Holley, Timothy's granddaughter and the child he and Augusta raised from infancy after the death of her mother, who was a daughter of Timothy and his first wife. Maude always considered Augusta as her mother. They resided at 333 South Broadway, Elmira, New York.

John Landers removed from Buffalo, Johnson County, Wyoming to a ranch at Mayoworth, Wyoming, same county in 1888, involved in stockraising, homesteading on the Powder River. In the fall of 1899 he visited his old home at Wilkins Settlement, Chenango County, New York and spent a few weeks with his sister, Elvira Lyon in Afton. He returned to his home in Wyoming. Mention again is made in an October 1901issue of The Afton Enterprise of him visiting his sister in Afton. His nephew Frank Landers returned to Wyoming with him. In a Dec 1903 issue, mention is made of Mr. and Mrs. John Landers and daughter of Mayworth, Wyoming are guests in town. This is perhaps a misprint, since it is not known that he ever had a second wife. In a Nov 1904 issue mention is made of his visiting Afton. In the 16 Apr 1914 issue is the following - "Wilkins Settlement - John Landers of Wyoming, who has been spending the winter in Florida is now visiting his old friends and neighbors here. Mr. Landers still remains hale and hearty and claims there are but few scales around the country that have the capacity for weighing him." Again in January, February, and March 1916 issues of The Afton Enterprise, mention is made of his extended visit to the home of his sister, Elvira Lyon. He resided on his ranch until 25 Sept 1916 when he entered the Battle Mountain Sanitarium, Hot Springs, South Dakota, a national home for disabled volunteer soldiers. He was in relatively good health and often l left the home to travel. John d. 20 Mar 1917 (Joseph Landers bible and pension) Omaha, Nebraska from accidentally being gassed in his room.

Frank Eychaner removed with his brothers Ed and Milton from Iowa about 1883 to Wyoming. Frank Eychaner first went to Laramie, Wyoming, herded sheep there one year, then trailed cattle from Laramie to Big Piney.

In the 1900 census enumeration they were residing in Buffalo, Johnson County, Wyoming, Frank's occupation given as sheepherder.

In 1903 Frank and Florence resided at another location in Buffalo. Frank operated a livery stable in Sheridan in 1904-5. In 1906 Frank bought a ranch on Piney Creek, a few miles west of Ucross, which was first homesteaded by a Danny Rogers who built a two room log cabin on the property to which was added three rock rooms in the 1890's, also plastering and lathing the log rooms.

Alonzo C. Noble b. 20 July 1808 Schoharie County, New York the eldest son of Oliver Noble and Thankful Crosby. The family resided in the town of Charleston, Montgomery County and were enumerated there in 1810 and 1820. In 1825 or 1826 Oliver Noble and his family removed to South Bainbridge (now Afton), Chenango County, New York where the family was enumerated in 1830. Alonzo m. 24 Oct 1830 Aurelia Landers born 28 Mar 1806 Afton one of ten children born to Joseph Landers and Deborah Rider. Joseph Landers was a Revolutionary Solider and with other members of his family were some of the first settlers in the town of Afton removing there in 1787 from Lenox, Massachusetts. Through her mother, Deborah Rider, Aurelia was descended from John Howland and John Tilley of the Mayflower.
Alonzo and Aurelia resided at Afton until May 1833 when they removed with their one year old son to Wells settling on the Benjamin Seeley property near Beckwith Creek in the central portion of the township between Coryland and Mosherville. Aurelia's sister Almira Colony and her family may have accompanied them as they also settled nearby. Alonzo first appears on the 1834 assessment list of Wells. Alonzo was in the lumbering business, clearing timber lots and selling the lumber. It is related that the family resided in a log home on the bank of Beckwith Creek. He owned a half interest in a sawmill with cousin Elisha Crosby. On the 1836 assessment list Alonzo and Elisha Crosby had disposed of their sawmill to Hiram Ranney. The Noble family removed to Upper Lisle, Broome County, New York where Aurelia's parents and brother had removed to from Afton, New York. They resided at Upper Lisle for two years and then returned to Wells. Alonzo lumbered in Springfield township one and one-half years and in Tioga County, Pennsylvania for five years. The family was enumerated in Lawrence township, Tioga County in 1850. They returned permanently to Wells township in 1851 and resided there the remainder of their lives, Alonzo involved in agriculture when the forests were cleared and the lumbering boom ceased.
Alonzo and Aurelia built a large home on the land where they first settled. Son, George and his wife and their children resided with them. They were members of the Baptist Church at Baptist Hill in northern Columbia township, Alonzo holding the office of deacon. Aurelia d. 7 (ts) 9 (obituary) Feb 1892 age 85 and Alonzo d. 7 Apr 1900 age 91 buried in the Baptist Hill Cemetery, Columbia township.
The wife of Alonzo Noble died at her home in Wells, Feb. 9th. She was
85 years old. The funeral was observed Thursday at the Baptist church of
which she was a member many years. She leaves a husband
and one son Geo. W. Noble, also four grandchildren and four great grandchildren.
She was greatly esteemed by all who knew her (The Millerton Advocate, Millerton,
Pennsylvania - undated obituary in
scrapbook).
Alonzo C. Noble died suddenly at his home in Wells township April 7th,
of heart failure. Deacon Noble, as he was formerly called, was born in
Schoharie County, N. Y., July 17th, 1808, and moved to Wells township in
1838, where he has since resided. He was married to Aurilla Landrus in
1830, who died in 1889. Two children came to bless their union, George
W. Noble, who survives, and Emma Noble Gustin, who died October 22nd, 1880.
Mr. Noble united with the Columbia Baptist church in 1850. He was the embodiment
of all that is good and true, and was an honest upright citizen of irreproachable
character, always living a consecrated christian life. The funeral was
held Monday afternoon at the Baptist church,
Rev. Mr. Brundage officiating (The Troy Register, Troy, Pennsylvania,
Wednesday, April 11, 1900).
The History of Bradford County, Pennsylvania by Bradsby and his cemetery marker both cite his birth as 20 July 1808. It is assumed the July 17th date in the obituary is incorrect, since there are other errors in the obituary, including the date of Aurelia's death and removal to Wells township.
