Hello Group, This is anouther query I am reposting. Any information is appreciated. Jan > >To what family does Philip Nevill of Washington Co., PA, during Revolutionary War belong? What was his connection to James Nevill who served in Washington Co. at same time? > >Jan 1774: Philip Nevill left Port of London. Listed residence as London, age as 24. Destination: Maryland as indentured servant. Sailed on ship Peggy. Occupation: Husbandman (farmer?). (I do not know if he arrived nor if this is the same Philip found in Washington Co., PA) > >12 May 1777: Philip Nevill listed as private in 3rd Regiment, Maryland Troops (According to one researcher, this regiment had many Charles Co., MD names in it.) (I do not know if this is the Philip Nevill found in Washington Co., PA.) > >1778 - 1783: Philip Nevill listed as a ranger on the frontier in Washington Co., PA. > >March 1782: Philip Nevill in Capt. Scott's Co., 3rd Bn. > >1 June 1782: Philip Nevill ordered on duty for defense of the frontiers. 8th class of Capt. Wm. Crawford's Co. > >No date: Philip Nevill listed in Lt. Richard Seaton's Co. for service during Rev. War. > >About 1790: Philip Nevill's daughter Mary born in Maryland. This Philip resided in Jefferson Co., Mississippi by mid-1790's. His daughter Mary married (1) Robert McFall (McPhall) by 1817 in Jefferson Co., MS and married (2) James Ashley in 1828 in Jefferson Co., MS. On 1850 census of Franklin Co., MS, she is listed as Polly Ashley and gives place of birth as Maryland. > >1794: Philip Nevill a claimant for 300 acres on Cole's Creek, 15 mi. NE of Fort Panmure (Natchez). > >1807: United States allowed William Mackey's claim to 100 acres on Bayou Pierre. Original grantee under Spanish claim for same land in 1795 listed as Philip Nevill. According to land records, the claim on Bayou Pierre appears to be the same 100 acres referred to in William Mackey's deed in 1804 which states the original claimant of 100 acres in Claiborne Co., MS, in 1791 was James Nevill. I do not know why James and Philip are both listed as original grantees for same land. >
