This is again mixing two separate families. Henry Sewell of Sewell's Point's father was also a Henry Sewell, green grocer in London. This is from a shipment of tobacco and sassafras that was shipped to London by Henry of Norfolk. Henry Sewall of Coventry came to Maryland and while the families married into some of the same families they are not the same Sewells/Sewalls. The Sewalls backed Cromwell and had to change their name to Sewell to inherit in England. The Sewall family included Judge Samuel Sewell of the Salem Witch trials. My line of Henrys to Samuel the Patriot of the Revolutionary War is well documented. The Sewells of Sewell's Point moved to Maryland, (now the U.S. Naval Accademy) sorry about the spelling. Good luck with your research.

My research centered around the connection between the Weedon & Penn families. Although I may be a manager of profiles of the Sewell family, this is not my research. I've probably been added as manager only because i am related to the family. I really know nothing about either of the Sewell families. Sorry I can't be of more assistance.

Thanks & good work,
Greg

Great that you try to make the tree correct! My Sewells are from Norfolk, the Bracon Ash branch: https://www.genealogi.no/wiki/index.php/Sewell_(slekt) so far I have not found a connection to the other Sewells.

Is Robert Sewells research about these families correct? http://www.robertsewell.ca/sewell.html

If I understand correctly two Henry Sewells has wrongly been merged by Curator: Jim Wile Henry Sewell, of Sewell's Point so this merge needs to be reversed.. and the two Henrys should be marked as MP so they cant be merged once again.

I believe I’ve gotten this area cleaned up, please check.

A good study for the Maryland Sewell’s is here (there were too many Henry’s to confuse us!)

Charles Sewell You mentioned “Henry Sewell of Sewell's Point's father was also a Henry Sewell, green grocer in London.”

Geni is showing his father as Henry Sewall, of Coventry “Mayor of Coventry.” Is this incorrect? Do you have a reference for the Greengrocer Henry ?
