This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: HENRY, ROANE, MERIWETHER, LEWIS, MAYS, TALIAFERRO, HINTON, NEVILLE Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/JRi.2ACEB/3254 Message Board Post: I am researching Annie Neville MAYS (1866-1943) of Petersburg, Virginia. In various documents, she consistently made a point of using her full middle name: NEVILLE. Her obituary (below) points to connections with the ROANE, MERIWETHER, LEWIS, and HENRY families. Any ideas on connections to the family of Patrick HENRY or the Neville she is pointing to would be most appreciated. Census information suggests a connection to a Harriet Roane and the TALIAFERRO surname. Thanks, Carl. Annie married 1st: Abraham Demarest WOOL (1861-1886) of Petersburg, VA, and 2nd: Dr. Samuel Alexander HINTON (1844-1912) of Petersburg, VA.
