8 Catherine A. Parsons W F Feb. 22, 1858 Horshoe Dropsy of Chest 49y, 7m, 29d John & M. Neville Hardy Co. This Catherine Parsons (w/o James William Parsons) was a daughter of John Neville, s/o Gen. Joseph of Hardy co. Va. She was born 1809, and died Feb.22, 1858 in Randolph co. now Horshoe Run, Tucker co. WVa. (this excerpt is from the" History of Tucker co." by Fansler. John also had a daughter Mary Neville who married a Parsons, and a daughter Agnes "Nancy" Neville who also married a Parsons. They lived in Randolph co. Va. now Tucker co. WVa. Here is an excerpt from Gen. Joseph Neville's will of 1819 Hardy co........ To my grandaughter Mary Neville, I give one negro Gairl of the Name of Jane, her and her increase, if any to the said Mary Neville and the heirs of her body, if no such heirs to descend to her sisters or their representatives - To my Granddaughter Nancy Parsons, I give one Negro Garil named Violet on the same conditions as the one given to my Grandaughter Mary Neville above. Are these granddaughters that Joseph gave slaves to daughters of John Neville son of Joseph? He had daughters Mary and Nancy. He also had a daughter Catherine who would have been only 10 yrs. old at the time of the will. I also saw on the internet that Mary Neville did not mary Jonathan Parsons until Dec.18, 1829, if that is true then she would have still been Mary Neville at the time the will was read. Also, I saw that Agnes "Nancy" Neville married Feb. 27, 1816, if that is the case then she would have been Nancy Parsons at the will reading. Catherine Neville would have been too young. My Elizabeth who I believe to be a daughter of John Neville would be 28 at the time and married to her second husband . She was left out of this will it would seem. The will was written in and witnessed by Elizabeth's husband David Gilmore on Sept. 4, 1817, the day that Elizabeth and David married in Hardy co.. I wonder if they may have gotten a wedding present in lieu of the will, just a th! ought!!!
