Old Boohger sez in his report "Joseph Neville, fourth of John, Jr, born about 1693, in Isle of Wight County, married Ann Bohannan, a cousin, in one of the lower counties of Virginia, and in "1745", settled with his family in Prince William County, as appears by deed, recorded in Liber M Folio 95, from Thomas Walker for 206 acres of land...etc. July 8, 1743, Joseph Neavell and wife "Mary" acknowledge a deed to Thomas Roy in "Caroline Co"., VA (perhaps on a visit?) July 20, "1750"...deed of Thomas Walker of Hamilton Parish, Prince William Co, blacksmith to Joseph Neavill of same parish, planter; 206 A etc. (no mention of wife Ann or Mary)...<slight problem with time span, not a big deal> December 10, 1777-Marriage bond of Joseph Neavil to Mary Ellett, bondsman John Moffett, Fauquier Co.(formed from Prince William county in 1759) Marriage was December 11, 1777. Nowhere is Ann Bohannan mentioned. We have mention of a Mary and then Mary Ellett......where is Ann. Was she the mother of these children. Does it make a difference...guess so if your a Bohannan or an Mary______. Guess old Mary Ellett doesn't come into play as John was 70 years old when he corraled this filly. If anyone has any information to share on Ann Bohannan or Mary_______would like to put this "issue" to bed. Now as to old Col. Joseph's children. Before I was having little fits over his son Joseph, commonly known as General Joseph. His baptism record appears on December 2, 1733 as "son of Joseph Nevil and his "wife", at Abington Parish, Gloucester Co., VA. John, George and Mary are also listed either in deed or marriage consent. I'm sure if I look deeper in the stack, I will find William and James also, but still think old Boohger is out to lunch with Benjamin and Richard. Boogher uses the following to "prove" Joseph's other children. under Benjamin, B: 1737, died in Fauquier Co., VA, 1780, leaving his property to his sister, Ann, and his nephew, John, the son of his brother Richard. To my knowledge no one has ever come up with any documentation that "proves" these were Neville's. As I recall, someone said there was a Benjamin and Richard Newells there. If any of you out there think you come from these children, please let me know. I am a John Neville descendant, brother to Gen. Joseph, sons of Col. Joseph. I'm still having a problem with the statement that Gen. Joseph Neville came from Scotland, sired George, who sired George Norbourne, but so be it. It looked good to me, and also I have a gut feeling that there were two Joseph Neville's floating around VA about that time, so, on we go......take care group, any help much appreciated.........bye
