    3. Shirley, Laura, and others interested in James Neville of Lincoln/Barren Co., KY, A few years ago, Ruth Nevels sent me some information one of her correspondents found the LDS archives in Salt Lake City. It is a little puzzling, and I am wondering if anyone else has seen the following: Genealogies of Kentucky Families Joyce-Nevil History James Nevil and wife Sarah Joyce lived at Harrodsburg, Pa. for land early day. Does anyone know if a member of the Joyce family gave the above information? Shirley has stated that Sarah's name has been listed various ways including Blackburn, Jackson, Jackman, and Joyce. I found a Harrisburg, PA but could not find a Harrodsburg, PA. A Harrodsburg, KY station was established about the time James Neville came in the 1770s from Fauquier Co., VA to Lincoln Co. (when it was still part of VA). I don't know if he ever lived at Harrodsburg. Does anyone else know? Did James perhaps also live in PA for land? I am guessing that if he did, it would have been in the area where his brother Gen. John Neville was scouting land for Geo. Washington, as well as for himself. One of those areas was in Washington Co., PA. Does anyone know if James Neville of Fauquier Co., VA and Lincoln/Barren Co., KY ever owned land in Pennsylvania? The only James Nevill I find in records in Washington Co. is the one who served as a ranger on the frontier during the Revolution. Philip Nevill also served as a ranger in that county, and he is probably the man of that same name in Mississippi in 1790s. James Neville of Barren Co., KY does not mention service in PA on his Rev. War pension application. In transactions and proofs of claims for William Mackey in the Natchez Court Records (Mississippi), a James Nevill appears to have owned the same 100 acres of land Philip Nevill owned. It may be coincidence, but William Mackey is also the name of a relation of James Neville of Lincoln/Barren Co., KY. Adam Jackman is another name found with the Barren Co., Ky Nevilles and also near the Nevilles in Jefferson Co., MS--perhaps another coincidence. Does anyone have anything on the Mackeys or Jackmans in Barren Co., KY, which might indicate a Mississippi connection? Jan
