My Auvils: [according to my first wife's research] Johannes Abel, b. circa 1760 m. 6 June, 1780 [Frederick, MD] Daniel Auvel, b. 21 Feb., 1781-circa1838 Lewis Auvil, b. circa 1803 Jacob Auvil, b. 30 Sept., 1828-17 Sept., 1863 Lewis Napoleon Auvil, b. 7 Dec., 1857 d. 7 Oct., 1929 Baxter Wade Auville [nee Auvil] b. WV, 13 July, 1883 d. 14 July, 1959 Gene Auville b. WV, 11/24/35 [Bowie, MD] A little item which we found in our research was that when some of my Auvil ancestors in West Virginia [perhaps it was still part of Va at that time] went out to the woods to harvest maple syrup they took fatback and whiskey with them for sustenance. I assume not Lewis Napoleon as he became a minister. Gene
