Biography

Mary Houghton Newton was born 18 February, 1808 in St. Helens, Lancashire,
England to William and Mary Brown Houghton. We don't know how many brothers and
sisters she had, nor how much schooling she received. It was customary for the
children to get some education, but if their parents needed them to help out with
the living expenses, the young girls worked in different kinds of factories, such
as weaving cloth and lace. It could have been that Mary was thus employed.
She associated with the young people of her area and also attended Church, being
a very religious young person.
When she became of marriageable age, she was courted by an eligible young
engineer, one John Newton. He was the son of John Newton Sr. and Rachel Wilson
Newton, and was born 26 October 1806 in St. Helens, Lancashire, England.
The day they were married in a St. Helens Church was 20 April, 1828. Mary was
20 years old, and John was nearing 22. Mary was happy and excited when she became
a mother 18 October 1829, and baby Margaret came to gladden their home. But alas,
this little girl only lived two months and died in December and returned to her
Heavenly Father. On 23 January 1831, another little girl was born. It was
customary in the Old Country to name another child the same name as the child that
had died, so this baby was also named Margaret. She lived until 10 June 1843,
when she was also called home to her Father in Heaven. This was just after her
12th birthday. By this time Mary had other children to ease the pain of parting
with this lovely child. William was born 7 October 1832; Mary, 4 February 1835;
Rachel, 22 July 1836; and John, 18 January 1840.
However, before twelve year old Margaret died, a wonderful thing had come into
the lives of the Newton family, which changed their entire way of living. Mormon
Elders had contacted them and they had become members of the true, but very
unpopular, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The date on the group
sheet submitted by Rex B. Newton is 1841 for Mary's baptism.
The people in their community had been friendly to them before they joined the
church, but now turned against them. However, the strong conviction that they had
done right in joining the church caused them to seek their friends among the newly
converted Saints.
They had the "Spirit of Gathering to Zion", but their money wasn't sufficient
for all of them to emigrate at once, according to the history of Mary's son,
William Newton, written by Flossie Newton Kay. She stated that the father, John,
came to New York first and worked for a year and sent money back to bring his
family to America. Then, in the sketch of his father, William Newton, Thomas
Newton (a son) states that: "The Newton family emigrated to the United States
sometime in the late 1840's and made their home in New York State for a short
time. About 1849 the family moved West and settled in Nephi, Utah.
Be that as it may, the thing that concerns us is the fact that they had faith
and courage to sacrifice a good life in St. Helens and come to a new land to make
a fresh start.
When they had enough money to pay their train fare on to Council Bluffs, Iowa -
the temporary headquarters of the Church - to get ready to cross the plains, they
came on. Five organized companies of about two thousand saints, crossed the
plains that year, but we do not know which one of them the Newton family traveled
with. But, according to available records, Mary Newton was 41 years old when she
made this tiresome journey, walking a good share of the way. Yet she was content
and happy because she had her most priceless possessions with her - her husband,
and her children: William, Mary, Rachel and John. She also had a firm testimony
of the truthfulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
It was October of 1849 when the Newton Family, with other trail weary travelers
of the company, arrived at Pioneer Square, Great Salt Lake City. They received a
warm welcome from the Saints already there, and were brought vegetables and other
things to supplement their scanty diet of the plains.
We know little of the doings of the Newton family while they remained in Salt
Lake City, before they went on to Nephi to help in the settlement of that little
community in Juab County. Flossie Newton Kay's record says that her great
grandfather, John Newton, died in Salt Lake City. No date in given.
The information we have from this point in time is sketchy, and we are indebted
to Flossie and Thomas for what information we do have; also to Rex Newton for the
group sheet he submitted.
The Church Chronology, pages 41 and 44, gives the information that Salt Creek,
(later called Nephi), was first settled in 1851, and a post office was established
there in the spring of 1852.
The Juab County book, says the townsite was surveyed in the summer of 1851 by
Joseph L. Heywood. It gives a list of some 18 or 20 families who spent the first
winter at the new community. The names of Mary Newton and her children are not
mentioned, nor do we find the name of Brother Midgley, whom Mary later married.
Their names are not listed with the ones who followed in 1852, so it would be
later than 1852 that they came. In the "History of Utah", by Hubert H. Bancroft,
published in 1890, he states that by the close of 1852, more than 40 families
lived in Salt Creek. A fort was built there surrounded by a wall twelve feet in
height and six feet thick at the base. This information was obtained from the
Deseret News issue of December 11, 1852. The first school there was opened in
1851, so education was very important to these early settlers.
No doubt, during the time that Mary Newton lived in Nephi she was greatly
concerned with the frequent visits of the indians and their squaws, who came to
her home begging for food. Even though the settlers had little themselves, they
shared with these half-starved indian people so that peace could be maintained.
(These afore mentioned books tell interesting things about the indians who were
around Nephi in those early days. (Most indians of this area were Utes, and their
chiefs, Walker, Ora and Uinta were not always friendly to the settlers.)
Even though Mary Newton may have enjoyed a much more pleasant life in England,
she was frugal and always worked hard. She found the pioneer way of life in Utah
so much different than she had ever expected, but she took each day as it came and
made the most of it.
Her children were progressive and did much in the development of Juab County.
Her oldest son, William, chose to make his home in Mona, seven miles north of
Nephi. He married Martha Kay in 1860 and Sarah Ann Shawcroft Newell in 1880, and
became the father of twenty one children. Her oldest daughter, Mary, married
first John Robins, but was sealed to George Washington Knowlton in 1863 by Brigham
Young. The group sheet submitted by Rex Newton names just the first name - Golden
as Rachel's husband. No wife is listed for John, but his death date is given as
1900. He chose to settle in Salt Lake City, and he and William remained close all
the ir 1 i ves.
All of us - the succeeding generations of Newtons - have much to be thankful for
to these hardy pioneers. To John and Mary Newton, and we pay tribute to their
courage, their strengths, and for leaving their settled lives in England to join
the true church and emigrate to America. For their trials of being separated
while he earned enough money in New York to bring his family to join him. And for
their trials crossing the plains with a handcart company, and their diligence in
forging for us a great heritage.
