The family name of NEWLIN is likely an English place name. Newlyn is in the County Cornwall, England.
Nicholas Newland 1 an Englishman by birth, born about 1650, emigrated from Nount Mellick, Ireland, in 1685 to Pennsylvania with his wife and two sons9 It is claimed that he was descended from the De Newlands, who were Manor Lords under the early Nor man Kings of Englando He brought with him a certificate or let ter of honorable dismissal from the Society of Friends of which they were members in good standing at Mt.Mellick, Queens County, Ireland. On March 1st, 1685, he obtained a patent for 500 acres of land in the northeastern part of Concord Township ( then in Chester County) and the family name of Newland became henseforth Newlin.
It is interesting to reproduce the copy of the certificate as mentio~_ed above, granted to Nicholas Newlin:
"At the request of Nicholas Newlandj we do hereby certify that the said Nicholas Newland acquainted our Men's Meeting with his intention of removing himself and family out of this nation into New Jersey or Pennsylvania in .America; and we have nothing to charge against him or his family, or to their conversation in the world since they frequented· our meetings, but hath walked honestly among men for ought we know or hear by inquiry'-'i-~ w~h hath been made, but our Friends' meeting is generally dissatis-~ fied with his so removing, he being well sett.led and having suf ficient substance for food and rainment., whir:'.~·· all thc.·t pro.fess Godliness in Christ Jesus ought to be contentj for we brought no thing into this world, and we are sure to take nothing out, and he.hath given us no satisfactory reason for his removing,but our Godly jealousy is that his chief ground is fearfulness of suf ferings here for the testimony of Jesus or coveting worldy lil: .. erty • .All of which we certify from our Men's Meeting at Mount Mellick, 25th of 12md, 1682, and we further certify that inquiry hath been made concerning the cleaness of Nathaniel and John New::- land, sons of Nicholas.Newland, from all entanglements of marr iage,and that they are released for ought we find. Signed by the advice and in behalf ~f the meeting."
