Hi Ren, Solomon of the Wm. Neville Isle of Wight line in NC seems to have linked himself with John, son of Fauquier Co., VA George Neville who eventually went to Montgomery Co., TN (the one below who was grandfather of Presley Pollock). I am just trying to figure out why these two seemingly separate Neville lines got together in Montgomery, TN. Why did Solomon move on to far western KY when John set up business over there? There is nothing in any record I have found that documents family connections between the Fauquier Nevilles to the Granville/Halifax/Orange Co., NC Nevilles. I know there are some things in print that show them linked but so far as I know, those links have not been proven to exist. Those who show them linked go about it in one of two ways. They make the assumption that in Booger's genealogy a Benjamin Neville, later found not to be a Neville at all, was the Benjamin who went to Granville Co., NC. Since Booger's Benjamin turned out to be a Newell, not a Nevill, that bursts that bubble. Also, I think you have pointed out the dates don't work, even if the Benjamin in Fauquier had been a Neville. The other way they are shown to connect is through some of the descendants of Isle of Wight William assumed to have gone east in VA, as well as south into NC. However, there is a problem with documenting connections, although this idea seems more plausible. Jeanne Barton brought up this connection recently. I think we do need to remain open to the idea that the two groups may be connected since we do find some odd names turning up in both groups, for example Jesse and Presley. Here's a little kicker, though. Did you know that in the early records of Isle of Wight, William Neville is also shown as William Norville? Same land for both names so surely the same person. Jan ______________________ Jan......thank you for sharing your thoughts on the children of Joseph and the VA Nevilles. As you mention, there is no "proof" of many of these children, I to , concur with you that they are the children of Joseph Sr., b: 1707 with the exception of Benjamin and Richard. My question is: are you trying to link these Neville's, possibly through William, to Solomons group? As I recall, Solomon group ascends from a William who was a founder in Isle of Wight. Boy would I love to see you "link" these together, I to, as many, am curious why the name of Presley pops up in the Solomon group so often as this is a name used in Joseph Sr. line down to and including my uncle, Presley Morgan Neville who married Neba Francis Miller, and his grandfather Presley Morgan Neville who was married to Zulie White, all of the above died in Richmond, Contra Costa Co., CA and are buried in Sunset Maus., Berkeley CA. The Presley Pollock you mentioned, is a child of Barkeley William Pollack and Violetta S. Neville, dau of George and Rachel. Keep up the good work and thank you for your imput.......Ren
