The following was quoted from Martin's "Chester in Delaware County," and cited in "The Newlin Family: Ancestors and Descendants of John and Mary Pyle Newlin" on page 27:
Died November 24, 1790, Mary Newlin, aged 100 years, 9 mos., 15 days. Nine weeks before her death she walked a mile and retained her senses and eye sight to the last. She was born in Thornbury Township, Chester County. Dr. Newlin's genealogy then states that Martin copied this from some old notes of his grandfather, Dr. William Martin.

The following is taken from "Mendenhall-Newlin Alliance" (1989) by Russell Newlin Abel, page 164:
In a letter from JWM Newlin, dated Dec. 24th 1865, occurs the following which was sent to him "by Mary Newlin of Waterville." "Died on ye 24th of this Instant Mary Newlin of Concord in the one hundredth and second year of her age (she was born in the township of Thornbury in ye County of Chester in Pennsylvania, about 26 miles from Philadelphia, which was at that time the western frontier of the then Province.) She was a woman of hale constitution, affable and courteous to her friends, Hospitable and kind to strangers and to the poor. Industrious and temperate she retained her memory and sight to the last of her life. She spun and knit till within nine weeks of her death. Idleness and sloth were her greatest bane. She was buried in friends burying ground at Concord, attended by a large concourse of relations and friends, 11mo 26th 1790. She told me about 16 months past that she remembered when her father and others deadened the timber and burned the leaves and hoed in their wheat by hand, there being few houses and scarcely a plough in the settlement. That the natives were very kind to them in supplying them with their bear's meat, venison, wild fowl and eggs in plenty, and thought the white people conferred an obligation on them by receiving them."
