Gabe, I have no evidence of SC Nevilles moving to MD. I gave the information about the Neufvilles of SC along with the information of the Neufvilles in NY because I thought someone else might see a connection or have helpful information. In reading backgroud information on the Huguenots, I have found that branches of one family might live in different areas of the colonies, particularly along the coast. There is an Edward Neufville in the SC Neufville group who began appearing in records in 1750s along with John and William. In a SC Dept. of Archives index I have, it appears that a John and Edward Neufville were in business or a partnership with a William Anderson as they are styled "Messrs. Neufvilles and Anderson" (quotations are mine). You can probably find out much more about the Neufville family in SC by writing to the Huguenot Society. They were very prominent in the affairs of Charleston, SC. I suspect the same society would know if there is a proven link between the Neufville families of NY and SC. I don't know if such information would help you in your search, but it's worth a try. >Please clarify: it was Edward's father who was the doctor, right? Not >the original immigrant? Do we have any idea what kind of Doctor? Edward's father was not Dr. Jean de Neufville. See below. Dr. Jean de Neufville's son John was Edward's father, according to Dorothy Kimbrell. Edward would have been the grandson of Dr. Jean de Neufville. I don't know what kind of doctor he was, but medical doctor is a good possibility since academic titles would most likely have been used in academic circles, not on census records. (A member of the SC Neufville group, Dr. Benjamin Nevill performed services as a medical doctor during the Rev. War.) (Jan) My earlier post on above subject: >>>According to a correspondent, Dorothy Neville Kimbrell, in 1690 Dr. Jean de >>Neufville from Tours, France, purchased land in New Rochelle, NY.

Gabe, did you see the North Carolina references I posted earlier this summer? In them are a Moses, Jacob, and James Neville who are in 1750 Beaufort Co., NC records. Paddy and I discussed Moses of NC, and she thinks Moses in NC would seem to be too old to be her Moses Neville who left Harford Co., MD, after the Rev. War. Beaufort Co. is right up the coast from Charleston, SC, so I guess there is a possibility the Moses Neville of NC could have been part of the Neufville family in SC. (Those given names of Joshua and Moses are certainly like the Biblical given names of other Huguenots.) Moses could also be a migrating part of the Harford Co., MD, group since Moses was a family name in that group. I am just throwing out ideas here to help you see how I think there could be some areas for research. > >My brother Pete is going to post our line again, as he has worked out a >detailed version. He promised he'd post it today. > >I've added John Neufville (d. before 1753, Berkely Co., SC) to the >Founders list. He's the right guy in that line, right? The John Neufville who apparently died before 1753 in SC is the earliest person with that surname who is found on the South Carolina Dept. of Archives and History index. (I am not sure the index is comprehensive.) Also in Charleston was John Neufville (1725-1804) who was a Rev. War patriot and whose lineage is in DAR records (I listed what I have on him in my last post on this subject.) > >Thanks again, let me know if you have any other thoughts! You might want to check the SC Dept. of Archives and History website to see if they have their computerized index on-line. If not, I will be glad to send you a copy of mine by snail so you can see the Neufville references in SC. You might also contact Mary Bondurant Warren who publishes FAMILY PUZZLERS in Georgia. She has done much work on the Huguenots of SC and GA. She is very aware of Huguenot migration patterns in this country and in Europe and may have information about the Neufvilles, some of whom migrated to GA. The address is Heritage Papers, 170 Windsor Ct., Athens, GA 30606. She may also have a website. Hope this helps. Jan
