From information gathered by Katheryn M. Green and published by her in 1987 in Jackson Michigan, USA, I find that I am decended from a James Nevills (D March 1,1811) and his wife Eve De-Shired (D 1828?). In her publication, entitled "A Nevills Genealogy", I find that he lived in Canada. It suggests that moved to Ontario "from their home in Sussex County, New Jersey in the middle of the night because he was escaping from his family." On page 18, she indicates that "in 1787 they left the town of Newton in Sussex County, New Jersey, U.S.A. and traveled to Ontario Canada with four children". While there is quite a bit of information about James and his decendents, there is little information about how he came to live in New Jersey. There is one statement that says that he was originally an "Irish Neville". Does anyone have any information further back such as what family he was escaping from and where they were originally from?
