These John Nevills seem to begin with John that Trimble places as the son of John and Elizabeth Nevill and continues in a direct line through the John Nevills: John & Elizabeth Nevill-->John Nevill d. 1730-->John Nevill d. 1740-->John & Garnes (Garner) Nevill. All of the John Nevills I looked at seemed to be one of these four. I noticed that Michal Murphry who frequently appears with these moved to Dobbs County, NC...that may be a good place to look for more early Nevill data.
