Yup, that looks like Gabe's and my line (Gabe is my brother). I don't have much information specifically on Joseph other than that he was the son of John Neville and Sarah Richardson, sybling to my direct male line ancestor John S., and that he joined John S. in Ohio before 1815. I don't know how long Joseph's line stayed in Ohio, my line stayed there until about 1903 and then moved to Colorodo. I am attaching everything I know about Joseph and some of his kin below. Ren, where did you come across Jopseph? Joseph's grandfather Edward is where Gabe and I hit our "brick wall". Of course, I would be very interested in any and all information that you have on this branch. Hope this helps. Sybling of Joseph: 8. John S. Nevill (176? - 185?) MD>PA>OH, m. Elizabeth ? (?-?) OH [g, g, g, g grandparents] John and Elizabeth, along with son John and wife Elizabeth Grant (and their children Jonathan and Nancy), moved to Holmes County, OH. Their third child, John J, was born 10 March 1810 in Wayne County, OH. Thomas and Joseph, brothers of John S., joined him in Ohio before 1815. 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. Father and Grandfather of Joseph: 9. John Neville (1740 - 1800) MD>PA>OH>PA, m. Sarah Richardson (?-?), MD>PA>OH>PA [g, g, g, g, g grandparents] John and Sarah were probably married in Cecil County MD, though no actual marriage record has been found. Sara was listed in the accounts of Joseph Richardson in 1796, and prior to that, in 1790, John Nevil was administrator for the accounts of Josiah Richardson. John and Sarah were the parents of nine children: John S., Edward, Thomas, Lizzie, Hannah, Nancy, Joseph, Mary and Sarah. According to Census Records, all were born in Maryland. In 1776, John and Thomas Nevil were listed under Colonel William Richardson in Maryland's Flying Camp, Fourth Battalion. They participated in the New York and northern campaigns of the Revolutionary War. Prior to 1797, John and his wife Sarah together with all their children (including the oldest son John already married to a woman named Elizabeth and their eleven year old son, yet another John) moved to what is now Beaver County in Western Pennsylvania. 10. Edward Neville (? - 1756) MD, m. Mary (?-?) MD [g, g, g, g, g, g grandparents] Edward and Mary lived in the Elk Neck District of Maryland. The Register of Saint Mary Anne's Parish of Cecil County lists the following births on page 329, however, the parents of these children are not named: Joseph Nevill, 12 March 1729, Sarah Nevill, 2 Feb 1727, and Thomas Nevill, 23 Jun 1721. On page 289, these births are recorded: 1732/3 March 24th, James Nevil son of Edward and Mary his wife and 1740 March 18th, John Nevil son of Edward and Mary his wife. 11. ? ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: Re: JOSEPH NEVILLE (USA) Author: <NEVILLE-L@rootsweb.com> at SMTP-GATEWAY Date: 7/28/97 9:50 AM Isn't this Gabe's line?
