Excerpt from Newbold Family Notes Ome six years 400 I had the pleasure of compiling a slender little volume entitled Bloomsdale, made up of sketches of family history by various mem bers of the Newbold lineage. Among these was an outline of the genealogy of the Newbolds, with some explana tory notes by my father, Mr. Francis Van Uxem. As a great granddaughter of John Newbold of Bloomsdale, it has been a matter of interest to me to amplify somewhat this brief article, and to trace the Newbold ancestry back as far as possible through the founder of the family in America, Michael Newbold, who came from England to New Jersey in 1680, gleaning what in formation I could regarding the characteristics and circum stances of these early forbears of mine. Several other members of this branch of the family have likewise expressed concern in these genealogical matters, and it gives me pleasure to lay before them this account of certain pertinent facts relative to our com mon ancestry. To the late Dr. William Romaine Newbold of Philadelphia, a great-grandson of John Newbold of Bloomsdale and, like myself, a member of the eighth generation of the family in America, and to those who aided his researches, the whole family connection is indebted for a vast accumulation of data relative to the Newbold genealogy both in England and the United States. On his untimely death in 1926, Dr. Newbold left unfinished a task to which he had devoted some thirty eight years of painstaking labor.1 He had made an enormous collection of material on the ancestry of the family, but had reduced it to only a rough draft of what was to be a complete and finished history of both English and American connections.
