Barbara, Thank you for your helpful information. It certainly helps to see something which might relate to new information, and I appreciate your taking the time to send it. I wish I could answer your questions. I am really curious about the wide variation in spelling in Wayne Co.--ranging from Neavill to Nevels. I am sure some of it can be attributed to clerks and to families who might not have had time for schooling in their pioneer lives. However, I am wondering, since at least one of the Charlotte Co., VA Nevils was in nearby Whitley Co., KY, if there were two different groups in the Wayne Co. area (not including the James and William Nevill groups of Lincoln/Barren/Warren Co. area). Have you already covered this topic in list discussion and I wasn't paying attention?
