Explanation

Isaac Newton's mother, Hannah Ayscough, married twice. She first married Isaac Newton's father, also named Isaac, who died before his son was born. She then married Reverend Barnabas Smith when Newton was three years old, and moved to live with her new husband, leaving young Isaac in the care of his maternal grandmother. This second marriage profoundly affected Newton's childhood and relationship with his mother.
