I have that Benjamin Neville and Nancy Robertson had a daughter, Elizabeth Neville, b. bet 1790 & 1800, who m. Joel Cross. Not sure of the place. It would seem that if Benjamin Neville's wife's maiden name was Robertson, that he could have a son named Robertson. What do you think? barb

I believe that I am a great, great, great granddaughter. Your information sounds promising. Would you mind sharing it with me. They had a son named William A. Neveils and his son was named William Henry Neveils. William A. settled in Suwannee County, Florida, and was from Barnwell, SC.

On 2 August Ren posted some material (Ancestors of Fauquier Co) concerning references in Wulfeck's "Marriages of Some VA Residents." The texts are below. Historical, Genealogical, and Biographical Account of the Jolliffe Family of Virginia, 1652 to 1893 (Philadelphia: J B Lippincott Co, 1893) p74 [This is a footnote to the text mention of Colonel John Nevill. Quotations are in the footnote but no source is given.] "John Neville, a son of Richard and Ann Burroughs, his wife, who was a cousin of Lord Fairfax, was born July 26, 1731, on the head-waters of Ocequon Creek, Virginia (Bull Run). He served in Braddock's War, and at its close settled near Winchester. Was a captain in Dunmore's War, 1774, and on the 7th of August, 1775, marched with his company to Fort Pitt. He was chosen colonel of the Fourth Virginia Regiment during the Revolution, after the promotion of Adam Stephens. He married Winfred Oldham, who was born 1786 [sic]; both he and his wife died near Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, where they resided the latter part of their lives. Their son Pressly Neville was born September 6, 1755; was a captain in the Eighth Virginia Regiment during the Revolution; married Nancy, daughter of General Daniel Morgan, and both died in Ohio." John Nevill was a direct descendant of the great Nevill family of England. His ancestors first settled in the county of Isle of Wight, Virginia. Virginia Historical Magazine, Vol. XVI (1908) p53-4 [This is a footnote to the text that is John Neville's 1776 letter from Fort Pitt, to the President of the Committee of Safety.] "John Nevill was born in Virginia, (probably in that part of Prince William county afterwards Fauquier), July 26, 1721, and died at Montours Island, Alleghany county, Pa., July 29, 1803. He served in the French and Indian War, and afterwards removed to Frederick county. Later he removed to the neighborhood of Fort Pitt (Pittsburg), and was chosen member of the convention of March, 1775, for West Augusta. By resolution adopted in the Virginia convention on August 7, 1775, John Nevill was directed to march with his company of one hundred men and take possession of Fort Pitt. He remained in command here until June, 1777. He was commissioned Lieutenant Colonel 12th Virginia regiment Nov. 12, 1776; Colonel 8th Virginia Dec. 11, 1777; transferred to 4th Virginia Sept. 14, 1778, and served to the close of the war; brevet Brigadier General Sept. 30, 1783. From 1777 he was under Washington, and was with his regiment at Valley Forge. After the war he returned to Pittsburgh, and was for many years a prominent citizen of Pennsylvania. He married August 4, 1754, Winifred, daughter of John Oldham of Westmoreland county Va. General Nevill was son of George Nevill and Ann Burroughs, his wife. Among George Nevill's other children were Presley Nevill, who was major and aid-de-camp to Lafayette in 1778; commissioned brevet Lt. Col. Oct. 27, 1778, captured at Charleston, exchanged in 1781, and served to the end of the war, dying Dec. 1, 1818; and Joseph Nevill, who was member of the House of Burgesses for Hampshire county at the sessions of March 1773, May 1774, June 1775, and of the convention of Dec. 1775. During the latter part of the Revolution he was county lieutenant of Hampshire, and later was a brigadier general of Virginia militia. He died March 4, 1819." As you can see, these two sources do not agree on the parents of John Nevill, and Wulfeck did not notice that one said Richard & Ann Burroughs and the other said George & Ann Burroughs. Some of the material in the Jolliffe genealogy may have come from Eagle's Genealogies which was originally printed 1886. My notes are from an 1896 second edition & I don't know if it varied from the first edition. Has anyone see the first edition? The second edition of Eagle's Pennsylvania Genealogies, says John Neville was a son of George Neville and Ann Burroughs, cousin of Lord Fairfax. However, I've never seen any evidence of a George who was old enough to be John's father. The earliest George of this area I have is the man who married Hannah Symes in 1725. There was an early Richard Neville in Northampton Co, VA (w/p 1659) but his wife was named Mary. He died before John would have been born and is not known to have had a son Richard. I should qualify this in that I have a lot of loose unconnected notes and it is possible I have something on a George or Richard but never made a family group sheet as had nothing to tie them to another person. I'd welcome any comments. To put things in perspective, Boogher's compilation was written in 1902 several years after Eagle's. To get a better picture of what was available at that time, one needs to study many of the early periodicals.

I have a john Neville b/1884 ,went to America. is this any help. regards bob

Hi, Bob! My gr-grandfather Thomas Neville's father was Thomas Neville and his mom was Ellen Hehir.He has a sister Bridget born 1842 in Askeaton. I noticed there are a lot of Hehirs in County Clare which of course is right across the Shannon River from Limerick. I'm just getting started on this stuff so am a real novice. I've come to the conclusion today that Lydia McWhinney Neville is the daughter of Leroy McWhinney. They really messed up her death record at the courthouse in Adair County Iowa. It was almost funny. In fact, they had her father's name as McFunny instead of McWhinney. Ha! You must have a bunch of stuff on these people...I'd love to see the family crest if there is one. Later...Peg

any one got any info on Patrick Neville & Margaret Stapleton M/ 1842 & Patrick Neville & Mary Shanahan m/ 1850 both of these were in the Bathurst area of New South Wales Australia thanks in anticipation Bob

Hi peggy any one who comes from the croagh,rathkeale,askeaton areas are inall probability part of the one extended family so welcome to the international family of nevilles. can't help with Lydia sorry. do you have anything on thomas with parents or siblings. i still have a lot of loose ends to tidy up. 1 is that my Patrick had an extra brother called thomas but have not been able to come up with any facts the other is the Knock Patric Neville family from Foyes Isle in the late 1700s he had 4 sons & three daughters have only records on one son Patrick who came out to Australia regards bob

Thanks Mary...will do. Sid

Hi Sid, I got your e-mail about Neville in your family. My relatives came from Co. Kerry, Ireland. They went to Brooklynn, New York after that. I dont know of any in Canada at all. Anyway good luck in your search, also try Social Security Records on Internet. Postings are very helpful also. Thats how I got alot of information on my family. Bye, Mary

Hi Mary...I just read your posting with interest. I am researching my NEVILLE line. Let's see if any of the below rings a bell with you. I just wonder if your NY NEVILLEs are of my line. I descend from Agnes G. NEVILLE b. 18 Jan 1799 in Ernestown twp., Addington Co., ON, Can. & her husband Elijah HOFFMAN/HUFFMAN. Agnes was the dau. of Anthony NEVILLE b. 7 May 1769, probably Ireland, and Margaret SWITZER. Margaret was b. 12 May 1772 in Courtmatrix, County Limerick, Ireland. In the book, "To Their Heirs Forever" by Eula Lapp, published by the Mika Publishing Co., Belleville, ON 1977, pg 309; it says: " Peter's (SWITZER) daughter Margaret, and her husband Anthony NEVILLE, had set out from the Cambridge-Arlington district (I believe this is in the Camden Valley area northeastern NY) in 1793 with two cows, an ox team, and a sleigh on which they piled all the furniture it would hold. The trek took them six weeks! For eight years the NEVILLEs lived in Fredericksburgh (ON), then they too moved to the 6th concession of Ernestown (ON) near her Switzer relatives." The book also mentions a Mitchell and Peter NEVILLE. Best Regards in research...Sid

No problem Peggy. Let me know if you ever see my Agnes NEVILLE..Regards...Sid

Hi Sid! I keep messing up on here. Ha! This is all new to me. Thanks anyway! Peggy

Hi Ted! The only idea I can come up with is that I messed up. Ha! I've never done this before. Thanks for responding anyway. Peggy

Hi Peggy...I received today a notification of reply to my 25 Jan 01 posting re: NEVILLE. But, it appears it is not for me. Any ideas? Regards...Sid

Thanks,Bob,for all the Neville info. My gr-grandfather was Thomas W. Neville born 1839 Askeaton, co. Limeric Ireland. They came over in 1849 settling first in Preble Co. Ohio and finally in Adair Co. Iowa where they are buried. I'm most interested in finding his wife Lydia McWhinney of Preble Co. Ohio. Know anything about them? Thanks again....Peggy

I'm forwarding Jennifer's message to the list. It concerns the Nevett/Nevell spelling in Dorchester Co., MD. She is not a subscriber to the list.

His obituary in the MD Gazette gave his last anme as Nevett/Nevell, but Nevett is definitely the name that has been passed down in the family, and appears on land records, etc. He was Chief Justice of Dorchester County, 1732-1749. The first land transaction I have found for him in the Dorchester Records is August 12, 1719, when he bought 2 acres of land in Cambridge from Arthur and Joan Whitley. He bought 16 acres of land called St. Anthony at the same time. He was listed as Thomas Nevett, Merchant. His wife was Sarah Rider (1710-1790), daughter of John Rider and Ann Hicks. Thomas and Sarah's children were Mary Nevett, who married Henry Ennalls, Jr. Sarah Nevett, who married James Muir Amelia Nevett, who married Ralph Green John Rider Nevett, who married Sarah Ennalls Maynadier This is why I'm not certain that Thomas was the son of Francis Nevitt and Elinor Spink of St. Mary's: neither of those first names were passed down in the family. Thomas Nevett was buried in Christ Church graveyard, Cambridge, so I don't think he was a Catholic. Thanks for any tips! Jennifer
