• Notes

  John, Sr., born December 28, 1794, decided to come to America in 1819. He was a itinerant Methodist preacher, married to Ann Carnic. His beliefs and her "materialism" created the split of his leaving his wife, son and three daughters - Eliza, Matilda Caroline and Henrietta - behind in 1822, to pursue his "ministry". In 1824, his brother, Dr. William Whitaker Maffitt, who'd settled in North Carolina, visited the family in Connecticut in 1824 and while there, adopted John Newland, Jr., age five, taking him back home and raising him. In 1847, John, Sr., suffered a cardiac rupture while conducting a mission near Mobile AL. He died May 28, 1850 and was buried in Magnolia Cemetery, in Mobile. Ann and the girls moved to Galveston TX, where she opened a small boarding house and through her own exertions, built it into a fashionable hotel. [2]
