As promised, here's Pete's and my line. Once again, Edward is as far back as we can go.

We're looking for his father and are exploring the possibility that his grandfather was Jean DeNeufville (France>NY, 1639 - 1712) and his father John Neville, Jean's son. 1A.

In Holmes County histories, John Nevill is listed as one of the first settlers. One history states, "in the fall of 1810, he erected a large log house on which he put a shingle roof, the first of its kind and undoubtedly a source of intereste to the whole community." Another history states that "Mr. Nevill improved his land in Sec. 22 building a large house and planting an apple orchard and top grafted trees...These were the first grafted trees in the settlement and perhaps the first in the county." After about ten years, he and Thomas returned to Beaver County, PA where they lived out their lives. 9. John Neville (1740 - 1800) MD>PA>OH>PA, m.
