Hi everyone, Last year Bob Nevels of College Station, TX shared a NC Neville file he obtained from Jim Robertson, a descendant of one of the NC lines. I have not corresponded with Mr. Robertson and do not know how he obtained his data, but I thought I would pass along a couple of things in his file that might be worth checking out and verifying by those who have connections with Halifax Co./Orange Co. Nevilles. I noticed the chart shows an Albert Gallatino Neville, son of John Sims Neville (John b. 1801). John was one of the sons of Solomon Corbin Nevill (1777-1848) and Susanna Walton. I wonder if Albert Gallatino Neville could be the A. G. Nevill, age 27 on the 1850 Dallas Co. AR census, in the household of Drury A. Nevill, age 30. Both were from NC. Could he be the Albert G. Nevels referred to by Alice Lee in a post in which she gives family information about Albert G. Nevels (Nevill) who married Alice's great-aunt, Martha Jane Harvill, in Dallas Co., AR in 1852? Review of Alice's post below: >E-mails from Alice Lee 9/25/96, 10/24/96, and 6/7/97: >My great-aunt, Martha Jane Harvill married Albert G. Nevels (Nevill) in >Dallas Co., AR, June 15, 1852. She died; don't know about him. He should >be on a census with his family in 1850. Children William and Candis moved to >Ashley Co., AR with grandparents in 1867; at least, Candis did; not sure >about William. Candis's name is spelled many ways, including Navals. >Location might help your search. I haven't researched Nevels. >Our connection with the Nevels family is a rather distant one; my >great-grandfather's sister, Martha Jane Harvill, married Albert G. or J. Nevels >in Dallas County May 13, 1852. By 1860, she evidently was dead, since her two >children, Candice and William, were living with their grandparents. I have >not been able to find any record of their deaths, but they lived in the Tulip >township at some time... >Candice was still with my great-grandparents in Ashley Co. in 1870. I have found no >trace of her after that. No marriage record or anything, and no trace at all of >William. In a recent post, Shirley noted that a William Nevill was on the 1860 Dallas Co. census and suggested the possibility that he might be the son of A. G. Nevill found with Drury Nevill on the 1850 Dallas Co., AR census. I have not looked at the actual census, only the index, so I don't know Wm.'s age on the 1860 census. However, if A. G. Nevill is the Albert G. Nevill who m. Martha Jane Harvill in 1852 in Ashley Co., his son William would have been young in 1860. A look at the census, as Shirley suggested, would help determine Wm.'s age and the household where he resided. The index I have shows an asterisk by Wm.'s name. Although I did not copy the key, I think I remember that the asterisk indicates the person was living with a head of household who had a different surname (AR 1860 U.S. Census by Mrs. Warren Gill Bonner, Marianna, AR). Drury's will might also help clarify some relationships. Thank you, Shirley for the census information. Shirley L Wilcox wrote: > > A Drury A.

Green & Melissa Nevill were married in Halifax Co., NC on 16 Sep 1834; Thos. M. Pierce, bm. (Source: David B. Gammon & William L. Murphy, Jr. Marriage Records/Halifax County, North Carolina/1758-1872). They also lived in Tulip Township in Dallas Co., according to Linda P. Smith, who is researching Elijah and Melissa Nevill. Linda's husband's grandfather had a brother Elijah Nevil Green b. 12 Aug 1874. Below is what Jim Robertson's chart shows on the Orange Co., NC group of Solomon Corbin Neville (1777-1848) who married Susanna Walton. Their children: 1. Edward Walton Neville, b. 1798 2. Jesse Parks Neville, b. 1799 3. John Sims Neville, b. 1801 (my note - Jan: spouse not shown, but one child listed. I wonder if Drury Nevill on 1850 AR census could also be a child of John's?) (1) ALBERT GALLATINO NEVILLE 4. Barbara Heston Neville, b. 1803, m. ____ Farrier 5. Edwin Walton Neville, 1806 - 1891, m. (1) Rachel Higginbotham (my note - Jan: the family later lived near Fulton, KY - Hickman Co.) Their children: (1) Joseph Walton Neville, b. 1829 (2) Solomon L. Neville, b. 1832 (3) Benjamin Franklin Neville, b. 1834 (4) Mary Ann Neville, b. 1838 Edwin Walton Neville, 1806 - 1891, m. (2) Elizabeth Ann Peebles. Their children: (5) Henry Clay Neville, 1842 - 1845 (6) Maria Louisa Neville, b. 1844 (7) Betsy Ann Neville, b. 1846 - 1847 (8) George Peoples Neville (9) Infant Neville (1848 - 1848) (10) Laura Neville, b. 1850 (11) Margaret Isabella Neville, 1852 - 1893 6. Solomon Corbin Neville, Jr. 1808 - 1881, m. Francis Slaughter Bell Long (later lived in Montgomery Co., TN). Their children: (1) Nimrod Neville, 1830 - 1832 (2) Eugenia Neville, 1832 - 1871, m.

B. B. Nesbit 7. Elizabeth Whitley Neville, b. 1809, m. Granderson Vaughn 8. Grandison Dandridge Neville, b. 1812 - 1878, m. Annette Travis (my note: Descendant Kathy Duncan shows this marriage as second one for Grandison and at least two more children.) (1) Josiah Hoskins Neville, 1847 - 1905 (2) Edwin Jarrett Neville, 1849 - 1943 9. Susanna Orange Neville, b. 1814 I have not worked on verifying the information on the above chart. It is meant to be used only as a guide for possible areas of research for identifying the Dallas Co. and Ashley Co., AR Nevill/Nevels groups. Jan
