Shirley, I am a descendent of Richard Nevitt who was listed as Richard Nevill on the early Ark and Dove list, and he was definately a Nevitt. The Ark and Dove society and MD genealogists Robert Barnes of the MD archives, Harry Wright Newman and others recognize him as Richard Nevitt not Nevill. His name was also spelled Knevett in many early records as he was from the English Catholic Knyvett family. I am also a descendent of Elizabeth Neville (c1695-1774) who married Joseph Buchanan (c1690-bef 1738) of VA thus I am on the Neville list.
