Isaac Newell

Isaac’s family was from Burnt Head (an abandoned community now part of  Cupids, Nfld.) which is approximately 3 miles from ‘The Dock’ by boat.  My family tradition is that the Newells of Burnt Head and ‘The Dock” are related with a common  ancestor in the 18th century.  I have not established the common ancestor but Philip Newell [aka Noel] my ggg grandfather who settled in the ‘The Dock’ and Isaac who settled in Burnt Head around the same time may have been brothers or cousins.
