I cannot find a link between them and the Halifax/Orange Co., NC group who came to Marshall Co. about 30 years after my group was in MS (first lived in southwest MS). An elderly Stroud descendant told me a story about a Neville, a Green, and a Stroud who came to Holmes Co. from Orange Co., North Carolina. The Neville then went to Louisiana and started a school there. In Monroe, LA, a Neville was superintendant of schools and a school is still there which was named for him. He was part of the Orange Co., NC Nevilles. (I will have to look up the specifics on this and send them to you.) I have no clue as to how he might have been connected with the Holmes Co. Nevels group. I suspect if a connection existed, it went back two or three generations. We have one or two other list members descended from the Orange Co. group. I can also give you an e-mail address for a Neville researcher in Marshall Co., MS if you are interested. Jan Faulkner
