I am also a descendant of this family -- Elizabeth Neville and Francis Barbee. I would like to contact anyone else working on the ancestry of this family. It seem to have a lot of twists. Doddie gives Benjamin's parents as John Neville and Elizabeth Reynolds. However, there seems to be some question concerning the proof of this relationship.
