The best guess that I have is that Rose Mary Boden (1828-1906) was married to John Moonan (b ~1822). They both came to New Orleans from Co. Louth, Ireland via Liverpool with an infant son John in 1849. It appears that Rose Mary Boden Moonan might have been widowed and remarried Michael Newitt sometime between 1850 and 1880. During that time she had 5 children, including my ancestor Andrew Vincent Newitt (1856-1905) and was widowed again. So the Newitt connection may be that she was a Moonan and gave birth to John Moonan (b ~1822) who was your ancestor and she also was a Newitt and bore my ancestors. I have not mapped out any descendants from John Moonan, but perhaps they lead to you. If you are on Ancestry, you can look at my Newitt family tree, which I have kept public.
