GB 0096 MS 523 1680-1826 Collection (fonds) 8 boxes Newton , family , fl 1680-1826 , of Barbados
Mention of the Newton Family in Barbados dates back to 1654 when one Samuel Newton is recorded and who was, by the time of his death, a substantial landowner. The family estate passed through several generations of Newtons until finally being inherited by the brothers John and Thomas Lane sometime after the death of John Newton in 1783.

Deposited in the Library in 1960 and 1960 by the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths. A second set of papers were acquired at the sale of Phillipps manuscripts at Sotheby's, 26 Jun 1974. They cannot be identified with certainty in the collection of Sir Thomas Phillipps, 1st Baronet (1792-1872), though it seems likely that they were part or all of MS 15961 and 22721.

Collection of papers relating to the Newton and Seawells plantations in Barbados, 1706-1826, including accounts and financial documents, estate management reports, valuations, surveys, and correspondence.

Arranged according to type of document, and chronologically within these groups.
