He arrived to New York on Oct. 8, 1832 and moved to Philadelphia after two weeks. Newland taught music in St. Augustine's Church and became an organist in the newly opened St. Michael's Church in September 1834. In 1858 he was awarded the degree of Doctor of Music by the Harmonica Sacred Music Society. Newland resigned from his organist position in the St. Joh's Church in Manayunk after 63 years of service.
