Patrick died in1877, however his wife, Ellen, and their two children, Mary (b. about 1865) and John (b. about 1869) were last seen together on the Grant County Wisconsin State Census in 1885. Lee, Two generations of my ancestors also lived in Potosi, WI, but they spelled their name Neaville and Neavill. I noticed your Patrick in a few of the early Potosi census returns, but couldn't determine if there was any connection...didn't expect any since your Patrick was born in Ireland while my earliest known Neavill (John D.) was born in TN in 1807. Have you found any connection or interaction between them? My Neavill line in Potosi started with John A Neavill (1844-1930), lived in Potosi from 1850 to 1893. Children born in Potosi were Anna, James, Libbie, and Joseph between 1876 and 1882. John's siblings included William, James, and Mary, b. 1838-1842 in Council Hill, Jo Daviess Co., IL. John's father (John D. Neavill) died in 1852, and John was then raised by his uncle Alexander M. Neavill (b.1807 KY), who had settled in Potosi in 1840 and died there in 1881. Alexander's children included Henry, Enoch Frank, and Carlos, born between 1838 and 1853. Any one else find any connections? Still searching for John D. and Alexander's parents.
