      William and Mary's Quarterly

      At Wilmington the early seat of the Newtons, near the head of Bonum's Creek, in Westmoreland, two horizontal slabs supported each by six carved stones, may be seen near the road. The inscription from one of these, placed over Mrs. Sarah Newton, was published in a previous issue of the Quarterly(Vol II, No 2, October 1898). The other tomb appears to have been erected at the same time that its companion was, and chiselled by the same hand--the two stones being in size, general design and style of lettering precisely alike. Owing, however, to flaws in the stone the inscription on one tomb is nearly obliterated. The following words are indistinctly legible.

      Beneath this stone are deposited

      The above mentioned tombs at Wilmington were, doubtless, loving tributes paid by the first Willoughby Newton, of Westmoreland, to his wife and his mother. Mrs. Elizabeth Oldham was the daughter of Nehemiah Starke, of Washington Parish, and stepdaughter of Major Andrew Gilson, who married Behethland Dade. She married, first, Capt. Thomas Newton (son of the emigrant John, "master mariner"), and after his death, in 1728, she married again, Col. Samuel Oldham.

      In a deed (September 28, 1728) conveying her part of land granted by patent to her mother Gilson, she styles Willoughby Newton "my son and heire."
