Hi Jan, and Happy New Year to you all, Sorry, no sources given on the three specific Neville cards save as noted in my message--and I sorta doubt that any are provided on any of the other reels. This needs checking. My message was a direct quote of the cards--less any errors on my part. My finding these reels was as per the usual set of events: my goal for the day's work on NC and SC census (Yelverton/Yelvaton) was completed, my bag was packed for moving on, then my eye happened onto a small booklet just sitting there on the shelf some 30 feet from the microfilm cabinets. I was meant to see it. Same booklet describing the below mentioned cards. I looked at only the N's. I was pushing a meeting time and thus no time for detailed reading. Next time my travels take me through Athens, Ga.----------! Now here is a switch in topics for you, a real "Pie in the Sky" thought for your consideration--we know that Yelverton/Yelvaton was b. Va, moved with Dad to NC where both fought in the Revolution, went to KY and then on to TN where he received bounty lands and where he is buried. We know he married Elizabeth and had a passel of kids, but Elizabeth who? (whom? I never did know the difference here). As per his Rev. War pension/bounty land applications, we know he served three different times--protecting the border and also marching off to burn out the Cherokees. Now another switch--I saw a reference last year which described benefits provided to the Cherokees who had been moved out west--if they could prove their family linkage back to the eastern side of the USA. Some Neville Cherokees were mentioned and somewhere I have to find the microfilms which have whatever details there might happen to be on these Nevilles--another task listed with all the other "gottados". Now ! just for speculation, could Elizabeth have been Cherokee? Taking the name Elizabeth to forsake here birth name? Now don't fry me on this one--as I said, "Just for speculation!" You all have a safe and sane New Years, be sweet the rest of the year, and remember who you are. Tom >> Jan & David Faulkner <[email protected]> 12/29 12:01 PM >>> Hi Tom, Thanks for taking time to transcribe the Neville references. Did the author of the notes by any chance post the source for the following two references? Card 3. Neville Jacob Jr.: Wit. P/A, Beaufort Co NC 1757, by Thomas Williams, qv, to his wife Ann Williams & Wyriot Ormond, Esq. Dorathy: Nevis, Wit will Thomas Williams, qv. Beaufort Co NC 1759. Nevill Tripp also wit. The will Dorathy wit. by mark. I found them on microfilm at the local FHC earlier this year but did not write the source on the copies I made. Later, after the microfilm was mistakenly returned early to the archives, I realized my notes were not clear on which source matched which copy. I looked at my copy of the original document and the name your source shows as Dorathy Nevis seems to be Dorothy Nevill. The person who wrote her last name (looks like Thomas Williams' handwriting) made such a large flourish at the end of it that it is difficult to determine if the last letter is an l or an s; however, the Nevil is fairly legible.
