Although the Hubbardston church records show the death of the wife of Ithamar Newton in August of 1838, that record seems to be faulty. In particular, a Mrs Polly Newton, evidently the widow of Ithamar, married Luke Warren in 1841 and eventually died identified as the maiden Polly Nichols. It is possible that the 1838 event was actually the death of Ithamar himself, but further research is necessary to test that hypothesis.
