Notes for Walter NEWMAN


Walter whom I believe is the ancestor of my line was the first of this family to leave Ireland He was a carpenter and came to East Jersy province from Dublin Ireland on or about the last day of March 1683. He was indenture of Apprenticeship to Stephen Warne for seven years. The full term of Apprenticeship was not required.
"List of persons, imported for account of Stephen and Thomas Warne. Indentured for three years, William Ellison Tanner, for four years, John Kigbin, Norah Kae, for five years, Patrick Kemane, for seven years, Anthony Ashmore, Walter Newman, for Nine years, Abraham Smith, for the custom of the Country, Jane Hankinson, and her children Thomas, Peter and Richard Hankinson. All came into the Province about March 31, 1663-4."
From Records of East Jersey Province: "Headland was granted to Walter Newman late apprentice of Stephen Warne of Perth Amboy, Carpenter 2 July 1668."
Walter married Mary about 1687. Records of their first nine children can be found in the Parish of St. Mary at Burlington, New Jersey. He later appears in land records in Pennsylvania. The family moved to Cecil County Maryland in about 1713 where records for the birth of his remainig five children appear in the Parish of St. Stephen. Walter made his will the 17 November 1725. He left most of his estate to his two youngest sons. Wife Mary married her neighbor Thomas Moore.
Listed here are the children of Walter and Mary. Then begins my proven Genealogy with William while I am certain Walter is the Ancestor of William I have not found a reliable source to confirm it. I would like to stress that the William born 1702 (son of Walter and Mary is not the William detailed in my proven genealogy)
If you have information that will connect William and/or his wife Cassandra Tippet to Parents siblings etc. or if you disagree with any information contained on these pages, or would like to add more please email me. Sandra (sandie@ix.netcom.com)
