Biography
During his lifetime, Newell mostly worked as a sawyer.[1][2] He also worked as a seaman during some periods of his life, including on the ship "Breadalbane".[3][2] He had numerous children with Isabella Barr; she declined to state when she was married to Newell in an 1863 deposition and it is possible they never legally married.[1] Newell passed away in 1864 from injuries he sustained after falling down a flight of stairs while drunk.[2]
