Alice Newton (1664-1694) was the daughter of Rev. Roger Newton, of Milford. In 1689 she married Daniel Buckingham.

The First United Church of Christ in Milford was founded in 1639 by the Reverend Prudden who arrived in the colonies in 1638 with fifteen families. After Prudden was ordained on August 22, 1639, the congregation set about creating a theocracy that became the town of Milford. A portion of the congregation left in 1741 to form the Plymouth Ecclesiastical Society, which they set up on the opposite bank of the Wepawaug River. By 1926, these two churches were joined together once again.
