Kathy and others of the Granville/Halifax/Orange Co., NC Nevilles, I found the following buried in my files. Jan From RECOLLECTIONS OF MY LIFE by Joseph Buckner Killebrew 1831-1906 [Killebrew is writing about his life in Montgomery Co., Tennessee - Jan] "Jo and Ben Neville were the sons of Solomon Neville who lived on the old Jo. Fort place, adjoining the lands of Mr. McMurray. Jo was a good boy, quiet but generous in his nature and with many admirable qualities. He and all the family moved to *Moscow in West Tennessee and I never knew what their subsequent lives were. Ben I only recall as a small boy coming to school with his brother." [*Moscow is in West Kentucky, not Tennessee. Jan] --------- From BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES / BALLARD COUNTY, KENTUCKY (I do not have the author's name, but I think this is one of Perrin's histories. I will get this information from the library if anyone wants it. Jan) "McD. Ferguson was born May 16, 1858, in Montgomery County, Tenn., and is the first of three children (two boys) born to John D. and Zilpha (Vaughn) Ferguson, natives of Massachusetts and Montgomery County, Tenn., respectively, and of Scotch and English origin. Zilpha Ferguson is the daughter of Granderson and Elizabeth (Nevel) Vaughn. They came to Ballard County in an early day, and settled on the farm, on part of which G. Northington now lives, and where they had purchased about 2,000 acres in all. The grandfather Vaughan came to this place in an early day, where he lived till his wife died about 1866, when he moved to Louisville, where he engaged in the tobacco business till his death, in January, 1879. The business is till run in the name of G. Vaughan & Co. He owned a number of negroes before the war, and was the architect fo his own fortune. John D.
