Sir Isaac Newton and the Renaissance

Being born prematurely, odds were against him surviving healthy, and not becoming fatally ill. However, although struggling through his first few years, Newton prevailed. Newton was born fatherless; his father had been killed two months prior to his birth.

Being left with his grandmother for most of his childhood, Newton developed a strong hatred for his stepfather and a longing for the attention of his mother.

Hannah Ayscough, Newton’s mother, said that as an infant Isaac was so tiny that he was small enough to fit in a quart mug.

When Isaac was 3, his mother married Barnabas Smith, a rich minister from North Witham, leaving Isaac with his grandmother. He loathed his stepfather very deeply and held bitterness toward his mother for marrying him, according to the list of sins recorded up to age 19 “threatening my father and mother Smith to burn them and the house over them.” 8 years later Smith dies and Isaac’s mother is widowed for the second time and returns home bringing along 3 children, Isaacs half brother and 2 half sisters. 2 years later, Newton attends Grammar School in Grantham.

Due to his traumatic past at an early age, Newton showed signs of psychotic tendencies. Later on his step-father died and Hannah wanted Newton to manage the considerable amount of property she then owned. This turned out to be a disaster, Newton had no interest in rural affairs only to read underneath a tree. By June 1661 Newton was ready to move on in life, so he enrolled in Trinity College, Cambridge. This was the start of his famous life.

Isaac’s mother went on to remarry, leaving Isaac to live with his grandmother. Isaac hated his stepfather. From ages 12-17 Isaac went to The King’s School. He was taken out of school later on when his stepfather passed away. His mother wanted him to become a farmer but Isaac hated farming.

At the Newell Historical Burial ground in Attleboro, the stone marking the graves of the Stanley family indicates that three children were either stillborn or died before their first birthdays. If there were any other children who survived childhood, they were probably daughters who were buried in their husbands' family plots.
