This family tree is that of the Newbon family of the village King’s Cliffe, Northamptonshire. The first known member of the family is Richard Newbon, whose marriage to Anne Whitehead at King’s Cliffe in 1626 is the earliest event in the family’s history so far discovered. (Several family members shown above had connections with other nearby parishes - for example, Fotheringhay and Blatherwycke - but none of the Newbons resident in the neighbouring parish of Apethorpe appear on this tree, since it has not yet been discovered how they fit into the family - although, given the proximity of Apethorpe to King’s Cliffe, it is highly likely that they were related).

It has to be stated from the outset that this is my version of the family tree of the Newbons of King’s Cliffe, which was on the whole put together a number of years ago. Some events in the family history from this period are corroborated by a number of sources, while the details of others are highly ambiguous. Other researchers may, therefore, choose to interpret the available evidence in alternative ways. Everything stated above, however, is the result of considerable of reflection - the main reason for my belief that this tree is indeed accurate is that throughout many years of researching I have found no evidence at all to contradict it!

I have added soubriquets (e.g. the Younger, the Elder etc.) to various members of the family to distinguish them from others with the same Christian name. It must be stated that these are entirely my choice of my names and in some cases I have changed my mind repeatedly over the best name for an individual! I do hope they help clarify who is who on the family tree.
