I have been researching some on the War of 1812; I do have a list of soldiers from Kentucky who served in the War (I don't have it at hand as I type this, I'll have to search through my files) but there were several Neavills listed. I've been unable to find out which Neavills were in which units and which units served at the Battle of New Orleans; maybe someone on the list can give us some ideas on resources to use to sort this out. Your information about George Barrett is quite interesting and the first good clue I've had on Elihu in some time. Your list of Elihu's children is correct; and the names are common but similar. I'll try to find my list of Kentucky Neavills who served in the War of 1812, James -----Original Message----- From: BARBARA A MCNAMER <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Saturday, March 06, 1999 10:07 AM Subject: Re: [NEVILLE-L] NC, AR, & AL Nevilles >James Graham, >I don't know if George Neavill was in the War of 1812??
