No chance that your John Neville came from England? John John Neville www.nevillenews.com

Believe his father, William Neville came from England, born abt 1615 m. Lydia, died before 1665 Isle of Wight Co. VA. Has anyone in the group connected these critters over the pond?

Think I have posted somethng about this line when I first joined but thought I'd try again. I have wondered if I'm the only researcher working on this one. I have a will of John Neville, probated in Granville Co. NC in February, 1785, in which he names his "beloved wife, Elizabeth Neville". Children are not named but referred to as "all my children" Cook and Rust were witnesses of the will. In March, 1983, John Nevill signed a marriage contract of John Estes and Elisabeth Nevill. I would like more information on this family. In 1771 in Granville Co. NC a Jesse Neville sold property to Thos. Person. What was relation of Jesse to John Neville? John Nevils is shown on the 1769 tax list of Granville Co. John Estes and Elizabeth Neville Estes are my great, great, great grandparents. Will gladly share information that I have on both Neville and Estes lines. Reese J. Moses-S. reese@pchnet.com 2428 Upper Zion Rd Brownsville, Haywood Co. Tn. 38012-8065

Dear Tom, I read with great interest your reply re Yelverton Neville. I am a descendent of the Jesse Neville who was married to Elizabeth Parke. Is this the same line of Nevilles? Thanks, A. J. Harris

Hi Bill, Good to hear from you. Had forgotten that I had written what you enclosed back to me. The particular grandson mentioned in that note is almost a year old now and another son and his wife have presented us with another grandson since then. We more fully understand the strong bond which develops between grandparents and grandchildren, we share a common enemy. Have not chased too many Nevilles this year, been concentrating on the Dirksen side of the family and also on my Littleton and Bean lines which connect with Neville in southern IL. But have one thing to add which might be of help. Shirley Wilcox previously sent me a copy of an indenture made between William and Lord Fairfax, was quite hard to read the spelling of the name but have since seen a microfilm when in VA, this certainly helped. >From the VA land records, an indenture made 28 July 1763 between the right honorable Thomas Lord Fairfax, Baron of Cameron in that part of Great Britain called Scotland, etc. and William Neavill etc. etc. in consideration of yearly rent, etc. etc. to the said William Neavill for and during the natural life of him the said William Neavill and for and during the natural lives of Winnifred Neavill his wife and Yelverton Neavill his son and every one of them longest living etc. etc. This does several thing for me: 1. Puts William and Winnifred as husband and wife and parents of Yelverton. Ta Daa! 2. Gives a birth year for Yelverton. Cousins and I previously had birth year as "either 1762 or 1763," But because of the above, he could not have been born Christmas of 1763 if he was already mentioned in the indenture dated July 1763. Ta Daa, ta daa! 3. Gives me the earliest spelling of his name, Yelverton and not Yelvaton (about which we cousins have been arguing for years - I really hoped it was Yelvaton but then, what do I know)? Ta daa, ta daa, ta daa! Don't you sometimes wonder why such a trivial piece of information can get the adrenaline flowing? Thus have changed my records for the last time, my mind is made up. It is Yelverton! Will listen to no further reasoning on the subject. Even Jean's threat of starching my underwear will not budge me. Many of Yelverton's signatures (or of those signing for him) when viewed for the correct spelling can be read either direction. Thought some years ago when Jean and I visited his grave site in the TN Mountains that I finally had it as Yelvaton - that is how the stone is carved. But the following year I read the will of his grandson, Alexander, which was what directed and made payment for erecting the grave stones for his "Beloved Mother," Granddad, and Aunts. BUT, at a time some 31 years after death of Yelverton. My cousin tells me from her 1970s visit to Jackson County that the folks pronounced the name, Yelton, and thus some three decades post his death, how many folks would be able to spell a name like that, especially when all the principal players were dead? William had previously made a similar indenture in 1760, some months after the birth of his eldest son, Jesse. This agreement also mentions Winnifred as part of the deal. While I have not read this type literature all that extensively, these are the only two indentures I know of which were made in names of sons and their mother. Got to give William credit, his version of Social Security? But I have not located any records of William giving up that land when the family moved to NC/SC. In fact, I do not know if records of giving up land exist other than when someone else took up the land. Think I mentioned already of finding him listed in the SC Archives Colonial Records file, spelling was Navil or maybe Navl as I recall and thus his listing was pages and pages removed from all the rest of the Nevils (and all other spellings of the name). I had been missing it, only found it by a fluke. Gives William's early land record. I still must revisit the SC Archives to sort a bit further, but I believe that William had at most two plantations while living in that area, before the move to KY. One was along Lawsons Fork which runs through Spartenburg, SC. Was located on Nevill Creek (Branch?) which I cannot find on any map thus far. Who knows, when we visit we may find we own downtown Spartenburg? Not part of my retirement plans, however. He has multiple listings of addresses in both SC and NC but I believe much of that is due to the colony/state/county boundary changes which evolved over the years. But for me this is still a mess waiting for some free time to sort. I had one great piece of good luck. I was mumbling to myself in the SC Archives and was overheard (I do not mumble quietly) by one of the staff. Turns out he had written an article about the Great Acquisition, the event back when SC got a chunk of NC. A good deal of old Tryon County, NC became property of SC -- and this territory seems to be the area in which William lived. Hence his being on listing of both states. Have you had further success along the Yelverton line? That sun is up, the temperature is climbing into the 50s, it is time to go outside and play with the leaves and pine needles. Best wishes, Tom

Dear list: 1860 West Feliciana Parish of Louisiana list the following 291 - 294 W. Neville 36 M Planter F. A. Neville 36 F L. M. Neville 12 M (?) Neville 8 F A. Neville 4 M A. Nevlille 5/12 F My interpretatlion is these people are Willis Neville, Feliciana, Florence (with another initial shown), Albert, and Alice. Unfortunately, Willis died in October 1860 which is not long after the census was taken and Alice was born. I have found the following in Marion County, Texas in 1880 from different sources. Albert and Florence are on the census. Alice married a Mr. Bennett. Leonard Marion Neville show purlchasing land in Louisiana in 1880. I would appreciate any information on these Nevilles either confirming or detraction what I have. Bob Smith Atlanta, TX

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YA3.2ACEB/55.1 Message Board Post: A few marriage dates that might be of some interest: (1) James J. Neville (s/o John & Bridget Finn) married Mary Ann Redmond (d/o John & Mary) in St. Joseph's Church, Ottawa on September 11, 1879. The next day in the newspaper "The Ottawa Citizen" the following appeared: "Married. At St. Joseph's Church, last night by the Rev. Fr. Pallier, Mr. J.J. Neville to Miss Mary Redmond, both of Ottawa." A social note and list of wedding presents are also included in this issue. (2) Charles Neville (s/o John & Bridget Finn) [age 26, steamfitter] married Anna Matthews (d/o Owen & Margaret Frane) [age 21] at St. Patrick's Church, Ottawa on October 27, 1896.

Mrs. Joseph Neville Jr. was Mary Faulkner Elliott--Elliott was her married name. The two were married in Fauquier County, VA on December 10, 1777. Joseph Neville Jr. was believed to have moved to Hampshire County, WV approximately 1768 based on a deposition about land boundaries "that took place sometime about the year 1776 and that the said Joseph Nevill had removed from the land now in dispute about seven or eight years before this conversation" (Abstracts of Prince William County, VA Land Causes 1790-1793, cited by Shirley Wilcox on this discussion line on October 11, 1997) That same October 11, Shirley also cited an indenture Joseph Neville signed to mortgage six slaves in Hampshire County. (Hampshire County, WV Deeds vol. 4 1773-1778, p. 94) It's feasible the Elliott men you mentioned were in-laws of Mary Faulkner Elliott Neville, but I have not been able to discover the names of any of the Elliotts in Fauquier County during that time period. Michelle Ule Robertule@aol.com Northern CA

While researching for Joseph Wright, I found a 1774 petition by the Baptists of Fauquier requesting that they be allowed to build a Baptist meeting house with John Monroe as their preacher. The request was granted during the May court term of 1775. Signatures included Joseph Neavel and James Neavel. Other names of interest: Wm Elliott, John Elliott and Thomas Elliott - and how are they connected to our Joseph's second wife? Also Richd Oldham Junr, Richd Oldham and John Oldham.

In 15 years of research I have never contacted anyone with these interests. I am descended from John Neville christened in Blockley in 1790, who moved to Todenham, Glos. and founded a family who lived there until at least the Ist World War. First ancestor traceable in Blockley parish (though actual residence is actually Aston Magna) appears to be Richard Neville who marries Elizabeth Bevin in 1759.
