What do We Know about the Newark Family?

[JoelTurner]

In 1940, Frank DeCavalcante, father of Sam the Plumber, was indicted with Sam Accardi on liquor charges:



————————-

- Salvatore Mineo was Sam Accardi’s wife’s brother.

- Anthony Inoglia was Anthony Ingoglia . He lived one house away from the parents of Austin Savi who was killed by Salvatore Lombardino in 1928.

- Charles Todaro was Charles Matranga. He was very likely a Newark member. He lived next door to Anna Monaco, the widow of underboss Sam Monaco.

————————-

As far as I can tell, this was the only interaction between confirmed DeCavalcante & Newark family members.

[B.]

Great connections. Might explain why Sam saw Accardi as a "cousin".

Frank DeCavalcante was also a close friend of the Bonanno NJ crew under Joe Colletti / Angelo Caruso and NJ Genovese members visited him in the hospital before he died. Seems to have been a liaison with other Families.

[JoelTurner]

I could see Frank being a liaison.

It feels like, other than DeCavalcante and Delmore, most of the guys in their family didn't really mix with other people especially in the old days. Angelo DeCarlo said he knew only 5 people from that family.

[B.]

Yep exactly. The Agrigento guys were content to let the Palermitano DeCavalcantes and Nicosiano Delmore represent the Family for a long time.

Delmore being from Nicosia and his early ties to the Newark Family plus induction in the same ceremony as Richie Boiardo and Jerry Catena suggest he had ties to the other Caltanissetta/Enna guys who joined the Genovese. What's surprising is he was made so late and ended up a DeCavalcante.

Here's an interesting arrest in Vineland:



26 Jul 1934 - (https://www.newspapers.com/clip/109364785/)
------------------

- Tony Scarizzo was Anthony Scavuzzo.

- Charles Todaro was Charles Matranga, as mentioned in an earlier post. He was from Camporeale.

- Frank Leo was Sam Monaco's next door neighbor. (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903 ... -5Q1T?i=38)

------------------

1) This shows that Scavuzzo, beyond speculation, was involved in crime with Newark family figures. I wonder which family he would have gone with after the break up and before he moved out west; I'd guess the Luccheses.

2) This arrest, combined with the other bust in a previous post, shows that the Newark family had extensive operations in south Jersey. It makes it easier to understand how someone like Joe Abate could have gotten hooked up with this crew.

Do you think the Todaro's in this article are linked to the Todaro's of Buffalo ?

I don’t think so. However, I’m 95% sure that Charles was a Newark family member.

According to this article, Charles Todaro was an alias of Charles Matranga.

——

(https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QL3D-VGKY)

According to his naturalization, Charles Matranga was born May 30 1908 in Camporeale. He was married to a Domenica
Todaro (probably where his alias comes from). He worked as a ladies suit manufacturer.

By the 1940 census, Charles and his family lived next door to Anna Monaco nee Bevinetto, widow of underboss Sam Monaco.

I don’t know much about the Todaros of Buffalo; they could be related to his in laws.

I’ve wondered if there’s a relation between his family and the Bevinettos who were also from Camporeale.

Everything about him screams Newark family.

[B.]

Todaros of Buffalo are from Agrigento.

Todaro was a big name in the San Cipirello mafia which is pretty much San Giuseppe Jato and isn't far from Camporeale so the name probably shows up there too. If Matranga's wife was from San Giuseppe Jato or San Cipirello it would fit too with the Newark Family.

He could be connected to Calogero Mangiaracina from Camporeale, who might have been the C.Mangiaracina who was Sam Monaco's business partner. Their names are similar C.Matranga / C.Mangiaracina.

[JoelTurner]

Great catch, I hadn't made the connection between their last names

[JoelTurner]

Speaking of San Cipirello, a guy who was in San Monaco’s car during a hit-and-run could have been from there.

Here’s the car accident:



04-Jun-1927 —(https://www.newspapers.com/clip/110375006)

———-

The Joseph Canelle mentioned was likely Joseph Cannella.



My guess is that “San Giapperella” was San Cipirello

———-

This Cannella wasn’t a random passenger either. He had other charges.

[B.]

Another new name

It def should be San Cipirello, as phonetically it is pronounced "Chip-irello" or in dialect might be closer to a G sound.

[PolackTony]

Definitely San Cipirello (wouldn’t plausibly be anything else anyway). The Cannella surname is well-documented there.

Here’s an interesting wedding:



26 Feb 1941(https://www.newspapers.com/clip/110450642)

————-

- Bridesmaid Vivian Monaco was Sam Monaco’s daughter

- Bridesmaid Tina Monaco was Sam Monaco’s neice

- Usher Angelo Vinci was a future Gambino member

—————

I have a feeling that the groom’s father, Nicholas Marino, was the Nicholas Marino named as a Colombo member (https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.htm ... PageId=126)

[JoelTurner]

Does anyone know anything about Pasquale Masi ?

—-

He was arrested with Joe Paterno for counterfeit bills:



26 Feb 1948 (https://www.newspapers.com/clip/110454672/)
—-

In 1960, he was described as Anthony Dolasco’s right hand man.

I think this is his census information: (https://www.ancestry.ca/discoveryui-con ... 69151:2442)

[JoelTurner]

Here’s something interesting: Sam Monaco and Vincenzo Troia used the same building as their office.





317 S 6th St, Newark, NJ , officially a candy store run by Anthony Sunsaro/Cangelosi, was used by both of them.

Paired with the fact that Monaco’s BIL was shot (in the neck and chest) alongside Troia, I’d speculate that they may have been a part of the same faction. This location may have been a headquarters or social club for them.
