Sgt. Newton Chapter
NSDAR
Covington, Georgia
The Sergeant
Newton Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American
Revolution honors Sergeant John Newton for whom Newton County was named.
Sergeant Newton became a hero by recapturing American prisoners of war near
Savannah, Georgia, during the American Revolution.
Covington, the County Seat of Newton County, is in the heart of Georgia's
historical section. A walk around the Square can take you back to life as it
was at the turn of the last century. The Courthouse, built in 1885, located on
the north west corner of the Square, is probably one
of the most recognizable ones in the country.
In the blocks adjacent to the Square are located homes and churches also built
in the Nineteenth Century. The city government and
citizens are supportive of the area's historical importance. The Newton County
Library has an excellent Genealogical Section. Chapter members have donated
valuable books to that section and even work volunteer hours there aiding those
seeking information. The Sergeant Newton Chapter has recently reactivated a Children of the American Revolution Group which serves to
incorporate the youth into the area's historical activities.
