I am applying to the DAR under Joseph Neville b. 1733 Gloucestor co. Va. who died in Hardy co. Va. in 1819. A person who is helping me from the chapter recently went to Washington D.C. She found a copy of an approved application for Joseph Neville. Approval date was 1971. It showed Joseph Neville, wife Nancy Brown. Son - John Neville and a wife Magdaline Spickart. Wow, my research shows that John Neville, this Joseph's son had a wife Mary Hider (who I believe is my Elizabeth's mother) and a second wife Mary Miller. The name Spickart is unusual in this application, because it is a variation of my gg-grandfather George Spessert's name, he is the one who married John Neville's granddaughter Clorinda Gilmore. The Spessert name has been spelled different ways and in the Tucker co. WVa 1860 census where Elizabeth Neville Gilmore is listed with her husband David, the Spessert name is spelled Specard and Speckard. I have seen it as Speckart. This could be a coincidence as far as th! is name goes, I really don't know if there is a connection there or not. What I really want to know is "who is this John Neville and wife Magdalene Spickart? Why are they listed in Washington D.C. as son and daughter - in - law of Joseph Neville and wife Nancy Brown? Will this throw my application out? Thanks for your help. Becky Lucas in Ohio
