Bill, Ryan, Barbara and other researching eastern KY Nevilles, I sent Pat O'Neal some of the discussion we had last summer about the James Nevils/Nancy Brooks family of Claiborne Co., TN. I have her permission to post her reply which indicates some of the family went to Whitley Co., KY, not far from the Adair/Wayne/Pulaski Co. area. I thought you might be interested in her comments. Jan -------- Jan, Thanks for the Nevils/Brooks info. Lots of questions there. I found one thing that I didn't know--the date of marriage for Martha Evaline Nevils 1809/James Campbell. You see, I'm related to the Nevils on my mother's side and my father's side of the family. The above couple were my gggrandparents on my mother's side. Martha Nevils' brother, George Washington 1810, was my Dad's grandfather. Then again, comes another connection: Mackness Rowlett-1768, was my ggggrandfather on my mother's side. Mackness first married Mary Hudson, and in 1838, married Nancy Brooks/Nevils/Brooks. (I guess that's how I know Nancy B/N/B married Mackness Rowlett. Haven't a clue about the Brooks man. But there had to be someone between James Nevils and Mackness Rowlett---else, where did Nancy get those 5 kids?) Yeah, I know about being consistent in recording info. That's why I try to always say the person's name, rather than 'she' 'he' 'her' 'him', etc., because that isn't clear in most cases. Does all this make me my own grandmaw???? with a 57-varieties nationalities....? Sure would like to see something on the "Campbell" ancestors----the 'James Campbell' that married Martha E. Nevils, ca. 1825. Let me know if anything turns up. They had a son, James P. Campbell b. 1843, who was a Baptist preacher and married Nancy E. Estep. Both were buried in Whitley Co, KY. James P. was my maternal ggrandmother's brother. Nancy E. Estep was my paternal grandfather's sister. (My head is beginning to spin----too confusing for me to figure out----all of Mom's relatives married Dad's relatives!!) Hope you can find your way thru this maize. Pat O'Neal
