Ann's mother's entry in the Newman-Rogers Bible records that Ann was both born on Sept 14th 1706.
Many years later, Anne's name appears in the extract from Chancery Proceedings 23rd November 1742.
According to a letter written by Camborne Paynter to H.E.M. Newman in November 1957, the Pedigree of Newman, Proceedings of the Somerset Archaeological Society, XXXVI, 157 shows that Ann died in 1706, however Anne (sic) Newman, the wife of Walter Burton, lived until 1776. The letter also states that Walter Burton died young, however he was still alive 1742 when he appeared as a complainant in Chancery Proceedings of that year.
The letter describes:
"... a conversation piece [presumably a miniature painting] showing Ann's three children Eleanor, Walter and Jane, standing by a table. Eleanor appears about 12 years old, the brother and sister being younger. A view of Cadbury Castle is seen through a window in the background. Eleanor has just built a card castle and her brother is in the act of knocking it down with a little stick, her attention having been attracted in the opposite direction. Jane looks on. Ther children are dressed as for a party: Eleanor in pink brocade, Walter in a green velvet coat with white sating waistcoat, and Jane in white satin. The picture is one of the most interesting known works of the Somerset artist Richard Phelps of Porlock. It hangs now in 'The Georgian House', Bristol." [The Georgian House, 7 Great George St, Bristol, Avon BS1 5RR]
The same letter goes on to say that Ann'sdaughter "Eleanor married her father's curate, the Rev. Robert Leach. The Leach family long continued at Sutton Montis and through them the traditions of the Newmans of North Cadbury were preserved for several generations.
Ann and Walter became great-great grandparents of Rev R. Grosvenor Bartelot (see note below), so presumably it was they and their daughter Eleanor's adherenace to Newman traditions that sparked Grosvenor Bartelot's interest in the family's history.
Rev. Grosvenor Bartelot FSA
Ann's g-g-grandson Rev R. Grosvenor Bartelot F.S.A. wrote a book called "The History of Fifehead Magdalen Church and Manor" from which a lot of information in this family tree is derived (but which regrettably I don't have a copy of nor any record of).
A website reference states that an obituary to Rev. R. Grosvenor Bartolet appeared in The Genealogist's Magazine Vol 10 No 3 (Sept 1947) which was presumably the year of his death.
Dorset Record Office wrote to tell me (13 Feb 2003) that they "hold the personal papers of Revd Bartelot, which includes a pedigree of the Newman family (our ref: D/RGB: LL697). We also hold the parish registers of Fifehead Magdalen which date back to 1565."
