Another early bearer was William Newble (c.1550-1623), a member of the Virginia Company who helped establish the Jamestown colony.

During the 17th century, the surname spread across the British Isles. Examples include Thomas Newble (1616-1691), a Presbyterian minister from Scotland, and Mary Newble (1632-1718), one of the last individuals convicted of witchcraft in England before the laws were repealed.

As the British Empire expanded, the Newble name travelled to far-flung corners of the globe. Joseph Newble (1768-1842) was a merchant and explorer who mapped trade routes in India and Southeast Asia.
