Help in connecting Thomas Newell to DeWitt F. Newell
My name is Leslie Jean Newell.
In my Newell genealogy, there is a THOMAS NEWELL who married REBECCA OLMSTEAD.Their 8th and youngest child, a twin of Martha Newell, was HANNAH NEWELL who married THOMAS NORTH (1649-1712, Northington CT) in 1669.He was a soldier in King Philip's War.He was Magistrate of the colony.
There is also a NATHANIEL NORTH (Northington, CT 1688-Apr.5, 1777) who married (June 10, 1708) Margaret Holcomb (died May 27, 1777).Their daughter HANNAH NORTH (May 14, 1727-March 11, 1816)married Eleazar Orvis of Farmington, CT on June 30, 1743.
That is the last time I hear of the NEWELL name until my father's grandfather, DEWITT F. NEWELL (Aug. 4, 1854 Niles Cayuga, NY-Feb. 3, 1921)married Harriet Laura Gunsalus.His son was Frank C. Newell (Nov. 3, 1879-June 19, 1956)who married Edna Anne Miller.
My father was Richard Miller Newell.
I'd appreciate it if someone could help me connect the two Newell families.I cannot do it myself.Thank you.
