Codicil, 21 Dec. 1696. My son Gerrat shall not pay his mother 5000 pounds of tobacco a yeare because the profits of the mill will not bear it, and therefore he shall only pay her 2000 pounds of tobacco yearly for her life. Gerrat shall not have the Negro Will. Gerrat shall not be one of my executors; only the other three Roes, Thomas and Elizabeth shall be my executors. I give Gerrat all cattle, hoggs, etc., which belong to me on his plantation at the little falls. I also confirm to him and his wife Rebecca a small deed of gift I made when I was up to see them first at their plantation about the begining of October last, and it was then dated and is for 500 acres of land where they live, taking the whole length of the pattent from the river to the back line, and this whether they have or not have heirs miles.
To my eldest son John that Negro Jack I bought of Mr. Bolton.
The labour and use of Negro Will I give to my wife Roas during her life, but the Negroe I give to my three English sons to be delivered if living at her death, and to be divided between my three sons as Negro Frank and Sue is to be divided.
Unto my grandson John the son of Joseph 200 acres of that land I bought of Capt. Swann next adjoining to William Smith, 50 poles in the breadth on the river and for want of heirs male to my right heirs at law.
John Newton
Wit: Charles Tillery, Ellinor Tillery, Dessemiah Dalton.
Upon second thought I have thought fit to alter the last clause of the codicille. The 100 acres I bought of Capt. Swan next adjoining to William Smith on the one side and Garret Newton my son on the other side, to my daughter Elizabeth and the heirs male of her body and for default of such heirs to my right heirs at law,
Whereas I have bequeathed 200 acres thereof to my grandson John, the son of Joseph, I revoke the clause.
Whereas I have in the body of my will given the moiety of 2150 acres formerly Henry Walker's and now granted to Colonel Fitzhugh and myself to my daughter Elizabeth, I revoke that clause, giving all my moiety to my son John, Joseph and Benjamin.

I found these English records on findmypast. I have no idea if all pertain to John Newton of Westmoreland, but definitely the Elizabeth Lacoke marriage. No record found for Joan Barr, but the Joane Waring one is about the right time - yet we have no way of knowing if it might be HIS 1st marriage to a Joan.

In 1709, son Benjamin made a depostion which gave the name of John's father in Hull:
" to his certain knowledge JOHN NEWTON THE ELDER did live in a place called Anlaby near Hull and he brought JOHN NEWTON THE YOUNGER with him to Virginia who he always acknowledged to be his lawful and eldest son. He knew THOMAS NEWTON who lived in Hull who always owned and acknowledged JOHN NEWTON THE ELDER, this deponent's father, to be his lawful and eldest. This deponent saith that he came from THOMAS NEWTON'S, his grandfather, when he came to Virginia."

This says that Thomas Newton was transported by Southy Littleberry and I believe it should be none other that Southy Littleton I suspect related to Henry Southy that transported Roger Marshall. I suspect that Thomas Newton could be related to John Newton and could be the same Thomas Newton that was in a Maryland Patent that Daniel Clarke signed over his interest to Thomas Newton and Thomas Marshall witnessed Feb. 11, 1667.
