Notes for Isaac Willoughby NEWTON

Buried in Old Bethany Chruch Cemetery, Anderson, South Carolina.
The origin of the name Newberry is unknown. The county was formed in 1785 as a part of Ninety Six District, and the county seat is the town of Newberry. This part of the country was settled largely by Scotch-Irish, English and German immigrants in the mid-eighteenth century. Germans were so prevalent in part of Newberry County, that it became known as Dutch Fork, with Dutch meaning Deutsch (German). Large scale cotton farming replaced small farms in the nineteenth century, and the coming of the railroad made Newberry a leading cotton market. Historian John Belton O'Neall (1795-1863) and David Wallace (1874-1951) were Newberry County natives, as was Governor and U.S. Senator Coleman L. Blease (1868-1942).
