    1. NC Neville references
    2. Hi Paddy, Thank you for the Canadian Neville listings you sent to the list. I found a Moses Nevil listing that you may already have. I am including it in the list below so you can see if you have any links. Since Neville is not a common name and Moses Neville even more uncommon, maybe there is a connection between the family in Beaufort, NC, and the one in Harford Co., MD which went to Ontario. Does anyone have a copy of Hugh Floyd's book, The Neville Family of Bullock Co., GA? I am sure some of the listings below are references to Floyd's GA line of Nevilles, particularly Jacob. Seeing him with Moses Nevil makes one curious. Could the Moses in NC also be a descendant of the "killed-by-Indians" James Neville of Northhampton Co., VA, if the James who shows up in NC in 1697 is indeed the same man as the one in VA? The following is taken from E. N. McAllister's book Nevill Lineage of Everett Nevill McAllister.
