| | THE NEWLIN FAMILY OF CHESTER COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA |
 | | J.J. Parker, in a newspaper article of 1880, in the West Chester Daily, said that our original emigrant, Nicholas Newlin, was the son of yet another Nicholas, who lived in Canterbury, and who descended from Sir Randolph de la Newlin, Lord of the Manor of Newland Hall, in Essex. |
 | | However, the Newlin coat of arms, as present on a ring belonging to our first Pennsylvania Nicholas, is very similar to the one used by a Nicholas Newlands of Scotland, as described in Burke's General Armory. |
 | | In 1681 the land which is now Pennsylvania was given to William Penn to settle a huge debt owed to his father, by the King of England. |
