    3. Thanks to Shirley, Jim and Frieda who sent on Joseph/ Alexander/Sarah Neville information. I will follow up on this. I have very sketchy information on John Wesley Neville, son of Joseph and Polly Neville, born 1816 in Jackson County, TN. He married in TN but the name of his wife is unknown. She died before 1848 and considering ages of his children of record, he may have been married twice in that time span. John also traveled to Il with his parents/siblings, first living with the folks and later with his brother Sam. He supposedly had "recurring diarrhea" as the result of a case of cholera. We are unsure of his death; his son Henry Clay bought cemetery space in Tamoroa, Perry Co., Il in early 1867. We have seen the lots, from the surface appearance, someone is buried in Lot #1 where but the grave is unmarked. His children were: i. Eliza, born 1836 in Jackson Co., TN, died 1916 in Perry Co. Il. She married 1 September 1856 Thomas Fleming, born 1828 in Ireland, died 1909 in Perry County. They had 12 children and I have some names should any of you be interested. ii. Sarah, b. 26 June 1838 in Jackson Co. TN, died 8 March 1910 in Perry Co. Il. She married John Donahue 5 August 1856 in Perry C., Il. He was born 2 December 1830 in Ireland and died 12 August 1895. Both are buried in Nine Mile Cemetery, Perry Co, Il. They had 11 children. I have some names. iii. Henry Clay, born 9 May 1844 in Jackson Co. TN, died 31 December 1913 in Perry Co. Il. More on him will come later. I would appreciate any information and corrections re the above family. Thanks, Tom
