Descendants of James Newell

4. UNKNOWN² NEWELL (JAMES¹) was born Abt. 1830 in AL.

Notes for UNKNOWN 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..

Notes for MARY A. NEWELL:
Listed "Mary" 1 AL in 1860 and living in the John and Elizabeth Turner household.

The John Turner household has additional blank lines below them and makes Mary's following page listing non-sensical.)
In 1870 Mary is living in her grandparents James and Sarah Newell household.
