Jerry, I was not following the discussion on Julian Neville very closely and may have missed quite a bit. Do you have other Neville connections besides what your great-grandmother wrote? Joseph B. Neville's A 370-Year History of One Neville Family, p. 51, shows the death date for Julian Neville, son of Morgan Neville, as 1882 (no birthdate given). No source given for this information in Neville's book. In Watt Ella Nevils Wilson's book The Neville Family of England and the United States, p. 14, is the following on Julian: "Julian Neville, died July 1882, a wealthy merchant of New Orleans before the Rebellion; an outspoken Union man, who was stripped of everything and died poor." Again, no source is given for this information. List member Ren Neville, who was in the process of moving before Christmas and may not have his computer going right now, is a descendant of Morgan Neville, Julian's father. He has collected a great deal of information on this line and may be able to help you. You said you have extensive Neville files. Have you done much LA Neville research? We have some list members looking for their roots there.
