"Early Pennsylvania Land Records from Pennsylvania Land Office" has page 222:
Cornelius Johnson had a warrant for 100 acres dated 20 Dec 1682 near New Castle town.
This is obviously a little early but the name is unusual.
My current atlas of PA has four New Castles and none would appear to be the one referred to here as they are all too far inland to have been settled in 1682. It possible refers to New Castle, Delaware which may have been part of PA in 1682.
