Hello Group, I posted this query about two months ago. Can any of you who have recently joined help with the following? Jan To what family group does the James Nevill found in Washington Co., PA during Revolutionary War belong? What was his connection with Philip Nevill who served in same county? > >Research data collected: > >1778 Lancaster Co., PA: James Nevil took oath of allegiance. 18 April 1777, William and Simeon Nevil also took oath in Lancaster Co. ( I do not know if this is the same James found in Washington Co., PA.) > >7 Dec 1781 Washington Co., PA: James Nevill in Capt. George Sharp's Company, 3rd Bn. > >5 June 1783: Pennsylvania Oaths of Allegiance (source) - James Nevil, formerly of Maryland, taken prisoner by British at sea, was forced into the British Service and deserted the man-of-war last week. (I do not know if this is the same James found in Washington Co., PA.) > >No date: James Nevill listed in Captain Bilderback's co., county of Westmoreland, PA. (I do not know if this is the same James found in Washington Co., PA) > >No date: James Nevill listed as Washington Co, PA soldier of Revolution. > >1778 - 1783: James Nevill served as Washinton Co. ranger on frontier. > >1791: Spanish land claim of James Nevill referred to in William Mackey deed 1804 on land in Natchez District (later Claiborne Co., MS). Philip Nevill seems to have also had legal claim to this same land according to Natchez deeds and also according to land claims when U.S. took over territory from Spanish. > >
