Bill,
I do not know any Laydens who came to Newark, but my gggrandfather James Shaw (Co. Mayo) married a Margaret Layden (Co. Roscommon)in 1854 in Huddersfield, UK.He worked for Coats and Clarks and travelled often to East Newark on business. Family stories say that he brought over men and women to work in the US.Perhaps he brought over some of his in-laws.
Hope this helps you.
