General Notes: Husband - Alexander Newell


He came to America at the age of seventeen years; he landed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and from there went to Huntingdon, where he remained a few days. He then recrossed the seas to his native isle, married, and returned to Huntingdon with his wife. This continued to be his place of residence for a number of years. He then moved to Mahoningtown, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, and a few years later settled at New Castle, where he died, aged fifty-two years. While a resident of the borough of Mahoningtown, he was engaged in the mercantile business, and just previous to coming to New Castle he accepted the position of collector for the old canal, giving his business over to one of his brothers and moving to New Castle to assume the duties of his new position. He was appointed postmaster under Buchanan's administration, but was forced to resign from that office six months previous to the expiration of his term, because of poor health, and did not subsequently regain his health.
