Joseph Newlin

            Joseph Newlin,  the son of Nicholas and Anne Walter Newlin , was born on October 21, 1754, in Concord, Chester County, Pennsylvania.  He married Mary Baker, in 1752, the daughter of John and Margaret Baker, and they moved to Middletown where they appear to have lived until after 1800 when Joseph's name is on the Aston Twp. census.  The children of Joseph and Mary were;

• Nicholas b. 1780 m. Sarah Ann Worrilow
• John Newlin m. Isabella Worrilow
• James m. Sarah Phipps
• Margaret  b. 1793 m. Jonathan Esrey, sheriff of Delaware Co at his death.
• Ann

     Joseph died in 1843 and was buried in the Orthodox section of the Middletown Quaker cemetery.  His wife Mary,  who died in 1736 and did not share his religious views,  was buried in the Hicksite section of the same cemetery.
