She was a gentlewoman of the privy chamber to Queen Elizabeth in the 1560s.

Nazareth Newton was the third wife of Sir Thomas Southwell (d. 1568) of Woodrising, Norfolk.

Their daughter Elizabeth Southwell was a Maid of Honour to Queen Elizabeth, "My Lady Newton having sought it for her daughter."[2] She was a mistress of Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex and mother of Walter Devereux.[3] She married Sir Barentine Moleyns or Molyns of Clapcot. Their son was Michael Molyns.[4]

Thomas Southwell had married Margaret Jernegan, and secondly Mary Mansell, mother of his heir, Robert Southwell (died 1598)

After Southwell's death, she married Thomas Paget, 3rd Baron Paget, second son of William Paget, 1st Baron Paget and Anne Preston. They had a son, William Paget, 4th Baron Paget.

Paget dismissed her servants, and after other disputes they were formally separated in 1582. Gilbert Talbot wrote that Paget was an "evell husband" in 1573.[5] Lady Paget lived at Woodrising until her death in 1583.[6]
