Biography
Newton was a member of the Virginia House of Delegates from 1796 to 1799. He served as a Democratic-Republican in the United States House of Representatives from March 4, 1801, to March 9, 1830, losing his seat when George Loyall contested his election. He regained his seat at the next election and served a final term from March 4, 1831, to March 3, 1833. In the bitterly contested 1824 presidential election, Newton was the only Virginia representative to support the Adams-Clay coalition.
His son John was a Union general during the Civil War and chief engineer of the US Army in the 1880s.

gollark: The UK government is also working on the incredibly ææææ "online safety bill", which obliges online things to ban "harmful content" (not illegal, "harmful").
gollark: I do know about this.
gollark: It doesn't help that various governments and such also seem to not want anonymous online communications.
gollark: Maybe people will get sufficiently annoyed by this sort of practice to get it to stop at some point, or maybe we're doomed to a dystopia of social acceptability.
