I am wondering if any other members are researching the Newell family . They lived in the Burlington, Monmouth area . My grandfather Ambrose Newell was born in Georgetown in 1846. His father Robert was born in 1805 in Chesterfield .Robert and his wife Ann Thorn are buried in the Jacobstown cemetery. Robert owned a carriage factory and was a cofounder of the Recklesstown Baptist Church, now Chesterfield. Robert and his siblings birth information gives parents names as William and Sarah Newell and say both were born in New Jersey. That is my brick wall. I am looking for information on William and Sarah , The Chesterfield census for 1830 shows Sarah is head of household, so William must have died between Robert's birth in 1805 and 1830 since Robert is the youngest child,.I am trying to find deeds of that era in the hope William owned land. I have found no will or intestate info and no marri! age license for my WILLIAM. I'd welcome any information on this Newell family, or any ideas or suggeations for getting past my brick wall.
