Biography

Anthony Newhall was born in Sherington, Buckinghamshire around 1605.^{[citation needed]}

Brothers^[1] Anthony and Thomas New(h)all appeared in Lynn in 1638. Anthony, according to Savage, was earlier in Salem.^[2] Proof of the relationship is found in a deposition in 1683 when his nephew, Thomas Newhall, aged about 50, testified on 10 November 1683, that two lots of 30 acres each were laid out "unto my Unkle Anthony Newhall and my Father Thomas" which were undivided, and "the said Lotts are now lying in the Township of Redding."^[3]

They died in Lynn, Anthony on 31 January 1656/7 and Thomas on 25 May 1674.^[4]

He was married twice prior to emigrating to Massachusetts. His first wife Mary (Unknown) was buried at Sherington, "Mary Newall wife of Anthony buryed 7 of June [1631]."^[1] The Anne Newhall previously thought to be issue of this union has now been proved to be a daughter of a Henry Newhall and not Anthony. Whether there were any children from his first marriage is unknown. Cooper's 1990 TAG article transcribes a Sherington Bishop's Transcript (D/A/T 157) as "Anne newall the daughter of A[n]thony newall baptized the 8th of Januarye 1620[/1]."^[2] This was corrected later in another article, to "Anne newall the daughter of henry [not Anthony] newall baptized the 8^th of Jannarye 1620."^[1]

He married, second, Mary White on November 6, 1631 at Olney, Buckinghamshire, England,^[5] or November 6, 1632 as given in another source.^[6]

Their first child named Mary was baptized on November 17, 1633 at Sherington. Their only son John was born around 1635 (age at death) probably at Sherington, but unrecorded. He and his family emigrated by 1637 and he participated in the land division at Lynn in 1638.^[7][8]
