    3. Question: we've discussed that perhaps Benjamin and Richard, reported sons of Joseph Neville Sr., b:1707 were "Newells". I've seen this from a variety of different directions. Does anyone have proof that either Benjamin or Richard were Newells or Neville's. The reason I ask is on page 54 of Joseph B. Neville's book, 370 years etc, he sites a letter written by Mortimer Danvill Neville, a grandson of Gen Joseph Neville and states in part that "Now back to my Grandfather Neville, he had "six" brothers. Five went down south, I think to South Carolina, and I know nothing of them or their descendants (if they had any) whatever. One brother, Gen. John Neville settled in Pittsburgh PA." If you throw in Benjamin and Richard, you get seven brothers, Joseph and his six brothers. Including the Benjamin and Richard, we have John, Joseph, George, William, and James (seven total). If Benjamin and Richard were Newells, then what are the names of the other two brothers? Just thought I'd ask.......take care.......Ren
