Excerpt from Funeral Oration on Judge Eben Newton delivered by Dr. Wm Dickson, Nov 1885
"Eben Newton was born in Goshen, Connecticut, Oct. 16, 1795. His grandfather, a large landholder of Goshen had three sons, Enoch, Samuel and Isaac. On the decease of Mr. Newton, the homestead was inherited by the son Isaac, the father of Judge Newton. His mother's name was Minot. She was nearly related to the Sherman family of Connecticut. Mr. Newton's family consisted of his children, five sons and five daughters. The father of Judge Newton was for many years an invalid and died in 1812. Having suffered serious financial embarrassment during his long illness, Mr. Newton left his family to somewhat reduced circumstances. The whole burden of the education of the family fell upon the mother, who nobly discharged her difficult duty. Mrs. Newton occupied a small farm of about 50 acres. All the children were actively engaged in various ways in accruing a livelihood; and while some of the family died young, others retrieved their fortunes, and finally became wealthy."
Eben Newton Arrived in Ohio in 1814
"(1819) Mr. Newton had not heard from his mother for five years, and about the time now mentioned he determined to return to Connecticut and bring her to Ohio. The little farm had been sold for a few hundred dollars. Mrs. Newton had gone to Woodbury to live with her half sister and when her son arrived – such were the changes which time had wrought-she failed to recognize him. When informed of his place she willingly acquiesced. He bought a cheap second-hand wagon and a cheap horse; covered the wagon in primitive style, packed such of the household goods as could be carried along and set out. The journey was long, difficult and laborious, but safely made. The determined and ambitious young man resumed the study of law in the office of Mr. Lyman at Ravenna." (Several years later they moved to Canfield.)
