Shirley, Thank you for posting your 1820 Shelby census data. I found my notes for 1810, and they are almost as I remembered them: Oswald Nevill: 1 m -10, 1 m 26-45 2 f -10, 1 f 26-45 John H. Nevil: 1 m 16-26, 1 m 45+ 1 f 45+ William Nevill: 1 m -10, 1 m 10-16, 1 m 25-45 5 f -10, 2 f 25-45 Note that the children of Oswald match up perfectly with 10-16 aged children of "Oswell" in 1820, and the ages appear consistent with being married about 1805. John in 1820 must be the one that married Virginia Fore in 1815. If he appears in the 1810 census, he must be the one in the John H. Nevil household. William Neville in 1820 matches up well with my William, except for the male, 10-16. There should be Presley(1811), Mary Ann(1812), Lydia(1813?), and perhaps a Joseph B(?). On the other hand, the William household of 1810 creates more questions than answers. I would like to find John Nevill and wife Virginia and/or George Frederick and wife Amelia (Nevill) in 1850 to see if they too were born in Pennsylvania. Any ideas where they might be found? They appear to be the Nevills most comparable in age to my William from this clan. ------------------- George Allison Dixon, CA
