Biography of Newell
Moulthrop
by Susan Brooke
June 2020
Newell Moulthrop first shows up in the records at his baptism in July 1816
when the "children of Jerry Moulthrop" are being baptized "on his wife's
account." He is the first listed and thus supposed to be born about 1798.
He would have been about 18 at the time of his baptism.
The next time he appears is in 1840 for the census of Lancaster, South Carolina.
He is married with two daughters. His wife, Rebecca, was born in SC so it
would appear Newell Moulthrop married there maybe about 1828. Their first
daughter was born in 1830. He is listed as "employed in manufacture and
trade."
By 1850 the family was in Lauderdale, Alabama where Newell is listed as age 52,
born in CT, carpenter and his wife Rebecca is 46 born in SC. Both of the
daughters had married and moved out. Sarah seems to have married at the
age of 15, on Dec 21, 1845, to Alfred Twitty. And Eliza seems to have
married at the age of 18, on Sep 15, 1850 to Jesse Mobley.
The Civil War began on April 12, 1861. These records have not been
verified but apparently Newell Moulthrop was killed in battle on June 8, 1863.
His son-in-law Jesse Mobley was killed in battle on June 20, 1864. There
is no trace of his son-in-law Albert Twitty but his wife, Sarah, remarried in
1869.
Newell Moulthrop's widow, Rebecca, was living with her daughter Sarah in 1860 in
Lauderdale, Alabama. In 1870 she was living with the family of John
Garrett in Colbert, Alabama. John Garett's wife Mary, aged 41, is Mary
Jennette Twitty, born June 2, 1829, sister to Alfred Twitty.
