Poet From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Newey (c.1711-20 April 1737) was the eldest son of John Newey and Ann (née Wheeler).[1]
He studied at Merton College, Oxford, matriculating on 27 November 1728 at the age of 18; BA (1732); MA (1736). He became a fellow of Merton College, Oxford.[2]
Newey contributed a poem Ad Isin to a congratulatory volume of verse from the University of Oxford on the marriage of Frederick, Prince of Wales and Princess Augusta of Saxe-Gotha.[3][4]
Newey died on 20 April 1737, at age 26 and is buried at Itchen Abbas church where he is commemorated in two memorials.[5] Given that Newey was 18 on 27 November 1728 and 26 on 20 April 1737, he was born between 28 November 1710 and 19 April 1711.
