  • Name John Newbury 
    Birth 7 Apr 1744  England Find all individuals with events at this location  [4, 6, 9]

  • Notes 
    • "The North Island: Early Times to Yesterday," Norwood Beveridge. James B. Vickery, 183 Harlow St. - Apt. 220, Bangor, ME 04401, stated 6 Oct 1994 "John Newbury was not a native of Newbury, Mass. ...I have used the vital records of Newbury - there is not a Newbury listed in birth, marriages or death. There are no accurate dates for his birth or death. In the Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors he is listed as an inhabitant of Marshfield, Mass.; however, I could not locate him in the place in the published vital records. ...The records show he was born about 1743 and died in 1824 or another says 1832. He is listed in the 1790 census of Vinalhaven and buried in a cemetery in North Haven, Maine."

      Al Myers

      I don't find him, or any Newbury (or variant) in the Marshfield records. I find his birth date recorded in Boston when he was baptized as an adult. I'm wondering if he was from the Hartford area. Here are my thoughts on that:
      1. His first wife was Ruth Mather. I find no record for Ruth's birth, death etc.
      2. I did find a baptism record for Sarah, daughter of Eliakim and Ruth Mather in Boston. She would have been about the right age to be Ruth's sister
      3. I find a marriage record for a Sarah Mather from Boston in Marshfield. Again about the same age as a sister of Ruth. So could John and Ruth have moved to Marshfield with her sister thus be able to make the claim "of Marshfield"?
      4. I find the marriage of Eliakim Mather and Ruth Roper in Middletown, Connecticut along with additional data on children, daughters named Sarah and Ruth among them, again about the right age. This family seem to be on a migration path down the Connecticut River over the years. There also doesn't appear to be any further record of them.
      5. I also find a marriage of another Eliakim Mather to a Sarah Newberry in Hartford, so at least the families were familiar.
      6. Could our John Newbury have married a cousin? He was a shipwright and may have found work in Boston.
      7. Lucy Newbury's pension request contains several documents from individuals that state that John was raised in Marshfield, moved to Boston where he had a boarding house and another family. From there he went to Cherry Valley, New York to become a farmer. When the Revolution broke out, he went back to Boston to get his family but was not allowed entry by the British and no one knows what became of his first family.
