Newton was no Trinitarian but he was a YECer.

No. YEC'ers are by definition Christian and believe in the literal interpretation of the Bible. Newton was not.

No, YECers are those who believe in determining the age of the Earth via OT genealogies. Newton most certainly did that.

You have Jewish YECers (and Moslems too for that matter)

Sir Isaac Newton, in his own study on the question of dating, The Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms Amended, vehemently defended Ussher's chronology. He said, "For an educated man in the seventeenth or even eighteenth century, any suggestion that the human past extended back further than 6000 years was a vain and foolish speculation."1
