===[[name::Margaretta]] [[name::NEWSHAM]] [[date of birth::1682|ca.1682]]-[[date of death::1750]]===

====Biographical Note====
Daughter of [[family::Charles Newsham]] of [[location::Chadshunt, Warwickshire]], a member of a long-established gentry family there. She married [[occupation::General]] [[family::Joseph Sabine]] (ca.1661-1739), army officer and later an [[occupation::MP]] and [[occupation::governor]] of [[location::Gibraltar]]; they had 9 children.

====Books====
Newsham is one of the minority of women of her time who used an engraved armorial bookplate (Franks 21762), which must have been made before her marriage in 1710, as her name is shown as Newsham. Her brother [[crossreference::John Newsham]] also used a bookplate, suggesting some kind of family initiative or enthusiasm. The extent and disposition of her library are not known.
