John Newlin's wife is buried in this cemetery. I have not been able to document the location of John's remains, so I have placed his "memorial' here. Please contact me if you have information to confirm or dispute this as the correct location.

Email Received from DorothyJG Sept. 2010 "Probate court shows John Newlin, dec'd, resident of Concord. As he seems to have been in good standing with his meeting, it is logical to suppose he was buried in their cemetery."

John & Mary Woodward Newlin Page
-----------------------------------------------------
When Nathaniel Newlin died intestate in 1729 the land was divided according to law among his children. In these deeds we learn that John & Mary Newlin lived adjoining Richard & Jemima Newlin Eavenson when those two received 913 acres in 1733 as their share of land. When John Newlin's brother Nathaniel died he named John trustee in the sale of his lands comprising 1620 acres. When Ellis Lewis, husband of deceased Elizabeth Newlin, John's sister was granted land for his children, John participated with his brothers and sisters in providing them an 1133 acre share. John & Mary Newlin received a 443 acre tract as part of their share of the land and resold it on February 16, 1733.
John Newlin and his brother-in-law Ralph Eavenson were appointed overseers of Concord Meeting on 17th of 5th month of 1732.
On 10 May 1746 Benjamin Johnson gave a mortgage to Joseph Parker for a tract of land in Newlin Township with a bolting mill and grist mill located on them. The grist mill land was bounded by John Newlin's land and Brandywine Creek. On 1 October 1744 John Newlin, yeoman, granted a lease to Johnson with full power to build a dam on the west branch of Brandywine Creek on John Newlin's plantation bounded by the creek and to dig a water course through the said land of John Newlin for the use of a mill now being built. The lease was for 999 years with a yearly rent of 1 pound. (Land information is from Abstracts of Chester County, Pennsylvania Land Records by Carol Bryant, Vols 1-3).
