Floyd, Your Elizabeth was born in Barren Co. KY probably in the part that became Hart Co. in 1819. I have a birth date of 24 Apr 1812 for her. There is a Bible record for this family at the Harrison Co. (MO) Genealogical Society which another correspondent sent to me. I have no marriage date/dates for Betsey and like you have seen what was printed by Mrs. Hodges. I do have her on the 1850 Mason Co., IL census as well as her brother William. In Dec. we had a post by Connie L Sheets <[email protected]> who is a Shirley researcher & she said Mildred Holtslaw's mother is said to have been a Shirley. She has a photocopy of the Neville Bible record. I suggest you contact her for Holsclaw information too. Do you have a death date & place for Betsey Neville Blunt? I have very little on her - just her birth date & the 1850 census. I would be interested in her children & their names & births etc. The father William Neville was born 5 Apr. 1788 according to the Bible (another record says 15 Apr.) & his wife Mildred was born 29 Oct. 1791. William was a son of James & Sarah Neville. Sarah's maiden name has variously been given as Blackburn, Joyce, Jackson or Jackman. I am leaning towards Jackman since William & Mildred named their first child Sarah Jackman Neville. Do you know how your Betsey got the middle name of Kilpatrick? She & her siblings have middle names (Jackman, Kilpatrick, O'Bannon, Morgan, Warder, Dotson, Rowen, Walker) that are surnames so they probably have some significance. I have only an initial S for Betsey's sister Mildred, but given what Connie Sheets said, that S could likely stand for Shirley. Shirley Wilcox On Mon, 15 Mar 1999 20:44:18 -0700 "Floyd R.
