I have made only a superficial study of the Isle of Wight Nevilles using published sources, but from that I believe that some of the material that has made its way to the Ark & Dove Society is incorrect. People with the same first names have been rolled into one person. Instead of saying that John Neville married Elizabeth Reynolds ca 1689, they should say this couple was married PRIOR TO 1689. The reference is to a 1689 deed that indicates this couple was married PRIOR to that date. In fact they had been married quite some time as their daughter Martha was also married PRIOR to 1689. Blanch Adams Chapman, Isle of Wight Co., Marriages 1728-1800 (1933) p38 JOHN NEVILL & Elizabeth Reynolds, sister of Richard Reynolds, 1689. D.B.I. p25 p3 Benjamin Beale Jr & MARTHA NEVILLE, daughter of JOHN NEVILLE, 1689. D.B.I. p23 There are several deeds in the 1660s that show John & Elizabeth were already a couple. The earliest deed with them both mentioned is dated 1664. John had land as early as 1663 in Nansemond Co. As a rough estimate of dates, if John was 21 in 1664 (as we know he was married by then), he would have been born ca 1643. John Bennett Boddie, Seventeenth Century Isle of Wight County Virginia (Bowie, MD: Heritage Books, Inc., 1993 reprint) p541 JOHN NEVILLE of Nansemond & wife ELIZABETH sell to Arthur Skinner 125A in Isle of Wight formerly granted to JOHN NEVILL. 16 May 1665. (Will & Deed Book I) JOHN NEVILL of Nansemond, planter, and ELIZABETH his wife, sell to John Marshall of Isle of Wight, for 1000 pounds tobacco, 400A granted 6 March to Henry Bradley & Bradley sold to NEVILL, 2 Feb 1663. Rec. in Nansemond, John Lear, Clerk. Rec. in I of W., Jno Jennings, Clerk. Teste, Arthur Skinner, Wm Burgh. (Will & Deed Book I) p586 JOHN NEVIL of Nansemond, planter & ELIZABETH his wife, sell to John Marshall of I of W for 100 pounds tobacco, 250A in Nansemond Co, adj Nansemond River, part of 450A granted by Gov. Berkeley, 6 March 1662 & sold by him to JOHN NEVILL, 2 Feb. 1663, in Nansemond. John Marshall for love & aff. for his son Robert Marshall grants him land purchased from JOHN NEVILL 25 Jan 1664. Dated 6 Jly 1680. I don't know when this John Neville died. At the time of 1704 rent roll there is just one John Neville in Isle of Wight Co. My guess is that the older John had died and that the man on the 1704 rent roll is his son John Neville Jr. It was probably this younger John whose Isle of Wight will was probated 27 July 1730.
