Descendants of James Newell

Generation No. 2


2. ROBERT BOYD2 NEWELL (JAMES1) was born December 19, 1824 in NC, and died Bet. 1900 - 1910 in AL (Tuscaloosa?). He married (1) MARY ANN HERRIN December 10, 1846 in Tuscaloosa Co., AL. He married (2) MATILDA (TELITHA) KELLY Abt. 1859, daughter of HIRAM KELLY and SUSANNAH WILLIAMS. She was born Abt. 1837 in AL (Tuscaloosa?), and died Aft. 1920.

Notes for R
OBERT BOYD NEWELL:
      Robert has not been found on either the 1850 nor 1860 censuses yet. On the 1855 Alabama State census for Tuscaloosa Co., he is listed with two males <21 and no females. Only Rufus, born Nov 6, 1852, has been identified.
      I have long suspected that the Reuben Newell on the 1860 Tuscaloosa census adjacent to James and Sarah, may actually be Robert Boyd Newell. Reuben's son, William, born c1850 matches age with the William J. Newell who is living with James and Sarah on the 1870 census. However, there is a conflict with John, born c1852, and Rufus, born Nov. 6, 1852. A possible explanation would be that John was born late 1851 - early 1852 and might have died before the 1855 census was taken.
      On Mar 13, 1889, Robert filed a petition in Tuscaloosa Co., AL declining to administer the estate of Hiram Kelly whose will named his sole heirs as Matilda Kelly, wife of Robert, and Lively Kelly. Robert identifed himself as Hiram Kelly's son-in-law.
      In 1900 Robert and Matilda are living with Sylvania (Newell) Dollar and her children.

Notes for U
NKNOWN NEWELL:
      Since it has not yet been possible to identify this potential Newell descendant, this file will be used to attach a number of unknown stragglers that have been identified from various censuses. As they are clarified and identified, they will be moved to the appropriate ancestor file, or removed. There are several Newells that appear to be related to James and Sarah based on census association, but their relationship has not been established. Some were actually in the James and Sarah Newell household on some censuses, or living adjacently or nearby on other censuses. Therefore, for record keeping purposes, these Newells will be attached to the Unknown Newell ancestor as a temporary pageholder..
