    3. Jan: You lured me out of the woodwork!! Not fair, I'm sick. Couple of comments from me. First, I'm not convinced that Solomon Nevill Sr. was named Solomon CORBIN Nevill. I have never seen his name this way in a primary source. I have not even seen a middle initial C. for him that I remember. I think the assumption has been made that he was Sr. and Solomon Corbin Nevill was Jr. I'm thinking that 1777 was too early for the common usage of middle names. Can any one shed any light on that? Jeanne Barton, what do you think? I think the Corbin name was added with Jr.'s generation. My gut feeling is that Drury A. Neville was a Drury Allen Neville. That's a favorite name among the early Allens. If he is a son of John Sims Neville, then I'd look for John's mystery wife to have an Allen connection since I do not know of any up the Neville-Walton-Sims line. Also Barbara "Heston" Neville's name was most likely Barbara Hester Neville, named after her maternal grandmother Barbara (Hester) Walton. That Heston clue led me astray since 1984. She married Needham B. Farrier. I have Annette Travis as Granderson (Grandison) Neville's THIRD wife. His first was Minerva Peterson who married as her second husband Meredith Howard. They had a long marriage and many children! Kathy
