Ryan My Ephraim Neavill was also in Missouri for a period of time --- in the 1860 Census, he was found there by Chris Heaton as "Ephram Nevil", a miller, with wife "Catherine," son Edward "Nevil." daughters "Unus," Julia and Adelia and stepson Franklin Heaton. Son Edward J. Neavill and stepson Franklin Davenport Heaton were miners. [Census: 1860 Washington County, Missouri, Union Township, p. 76, line 9.] I have not been able to find any trace of Edward J. Neavill after that census, so I do not know whether he stayed there in MO, moved to another state, died, was killed in the Civil War or what. Ephraim's second wife, Catharine (Van Hook) (Heaton) Neavill, was living with her son Franklin Davenport Heaton in Valles Mines, Jefferson County, MO when she died 9 Nov 1894. She is buried there. [About 1884, Ephraim had gone to California to live with his married daughters, Harriet Elizabeth (Neavill) Bloss and Ellen Collins (Neavill) (Red) McGraw.] He died at Whittier, Los Angeles Co. 25 March 1894, soon after he began receiving an Army Pension for his service in the Blackhawk War of 1832. Catharine immediately applied for the widow's pension, but died before she received it. Diane Wilson Flynn
