Hello SallyYorks:
... As it turns out our dear Mr. J. Gardner Bartlett was off base by a yard in several places. Some recent historians believe that he was trying to connect up the New England clan with the Dorset family, and was being dishonest about it to please his clients in the U.S. ...
Yes he was accused of 'fraud'.
...However, it is my contention Bartlett was not quite thorough enough when it came to studying all the John Newburghs who lived from 1402 up through 1485, neither did he have the resources we have today. I have made some pretty amazing discoveries about it and will eventually publish my findings. However, I believe that the line from John Newburgh Esq. was inaccurately published. I will say, the Esq. had three sons by his first wife and one son by his second wife. It is the first wife's sons who are important to the New England colonials.
I am descended from Richard Newbury of Malden, MA. We have done DNA tests but have no conclusive evidence regarding if Richard and Thomas were related.

Can't see a potential burial for these next two in England, but at these dates it's difficult to know and I haven't looked at any potential marriages yet

Newberrys do seem to be quite spread out at these early dates, from Cumbria, Yorkshire, the West Country and the Midlands and also down into London.
These Newberrys are interesting, later dates than yours but transported to the colonies, probably to Virginia or Maryland but possibly ended up in NE or MA as well? Adding them for any future reference/research.

The search dates only start at around the 1670's though, but interesting for anyone researching London 'colonials' to America.
