Hi, Kristan, I know that there are Newcastle placename in Cos. Down, Dublin, Tipperary, Wicklow and a Newcastle West in Limerick, perhaps elsewhere. Check with the IreAtlas for more information: http://www.seanruad.com/ Then do a "Google Search" to learn more. Read about your surnames in a good Irish surname book for history behind name, variations, distribution in Ireland. Your surnames are not terribly common so may easier to trace than most. Find your living relatives for more puzzle pieces. Since they immigrated to the US, enlist the help of the historical society in the known county in the US in which they lived and raised their family, offer them a modest "donation" in exchange for their help in obtaining documents, information on your particular family. To demonstrate your interest in "their" US county (in which they have much expertise) subscribe to their periodical and it will be something interesting to look forward to in the mail and you can place a query that will be seen by both Internet and nonInternet researchers. The winter issues have an "every-name" index. Another resource could be history books of that county. I didn't expect to, but found two pages written up on one of my humble families because they were early settlers, belonged to particular agricultural, religious, fraternal organizations, were school teachers, held office and/or participated in the Civil War. Check your genealogy library for these history books, others can be obtained with the help of your reference librarian and free interlibrary loan. The Baxter given name could be a "surname in disguise," i.e. mother's maiden name....
