Does anyone know anything about the Neavil/Neavel/Neville family in the following abstracts from Marlboro, SC records? They lived in the Pee Dee area of eastern South Carolina not far below the North Carolina border. Issac Neaville/Neavil could possibly be related to the Neufvilles in Charleston, SC, because Issac is a name that was used in their family. However, in all the indexes to records I have seen for the Pee Dee area, Isaac's name is never spelled as Neufville. Jan 1800 Census Marlboro Co., SC George Neville 56 Rachel Neville 56 William Neville 56 1810 Census Marlboro Co., SC William Nevel 1820 Census Marlboro Co., SC --- Nevils Wills of Marlboro County, South Carolina by Delwyn Associates, 171 N. Monroe Street, Albany, GA 31701 Note in foreword: "Almost all of the wills in Books B and D also appear in Will Book A--however in some instances the names are spelled differently and the date differ as do the names of a few of the witnesses. Generally, the contents of the wills are alike though not exactly the same in both wills... "It was not possible to obtain any information as to why the above mentioned discrepancies appear. The abstracts of the wills are made from the wills as they appear in Marlboro County records and it is suggested that the researcher obtain both wills when a duplication occurs in order to ascertain which is more correct. One possible explanation for the differences and the repetition is that the wills have been re-recorded one or more times and that in doing this errors have crept in. "Attention is called to the fact that many of these testators seem to have migrated from Anson and Richmond Counties of North Carolina and this offers a source to be searched for records of these people prior to their arrival in Marlboro County, South Carolina." p. 29 Isaac Neavil /s/25 Nov. 1793 /p/ 3 Dec. 1798 Sons: William, George Grandson: Thomas Perkins, the last of his portion it being the last part of the portion of Martha Perkins, deceased.
