Nevil and Lafayette Nevil, and James L. Nevil's son, Zach. L. Nevil! I have it right in my notes but got mixed up in my thinking when writing about Lafayett Nevels found in a MS record for Confederate service. Afterthoughts are dangerous when I don't check them with sources, too. It's amazing (awful) how one sentence can have so many errors! In the same sentence, I also should not have stated that the family went to AL from Amherst Co., VA. I don't have information which suggests they were living in Amherst Co. before they went to AL. Ivan Nevill's book, GENEALOGY OF THE NEVILL FAMILY, shows that James L. Nevill m. Dorothy Louise Moorman 3 Oct 1831 in Albemarle Co., VA, and that first child, Zachariah Lewis Nevill, was born 7 April 1833 in Albemarle Co., while the second child, Ann Caroline Nevill was born 7 March 1836 in Tuscaloosa, AL. Also, Ivan Nevill shows that James L. Nevill's estate was settled in Scottsville, Albemarle Co., VA 1 Jan 1853 by administrator R. L. Jefferson for the years 1844-1852. I should have stated the following in my 3/4/99 post: >If it [enlistment place of Lafayett Nevels, Co. M, Wood's Regiment, Confederate Cavalry (1st Regiment Mississippi Cavalry / Wirt Adams' Regiment Cavalry), Private] is Monroeville, that would be in Alabama, which makes it plausible that Lafayett Nevil, MS Confedrate soldier, had some connection with Zach. and Ann Scott Jefferson Nevil and their son James L. Nevil, since Zach. and Ann had another son named Lafayette b. ca 1818 (birthdate according to Ivan Nevill's book). James L. Nevil went to AL from perhaps Albemarle Co., VA. Maybe the Lafayett Nevels who served in a MS company during the Civil War is the son of Zach. and Ann Scott Jefferson or a grandson. I have more thoughts on the above and on Lafayette Nevil (but will try to keep them straight <g>). Ivan Nevill shows that Dorothy L. Moorman (b. 1818 VA - d. 1879 Moundville, AL), who was the wife of Lafayette's brother, James L. Nevil, married (2) Andrew Jackson Lewis in 1842. He also shows that she died in Moundville, AL and is buried in the Lewis Cemetery in Moundville. Thus, on the 1850 AL census, she would have been in a Lewis household. Maybe Lafayette lived with sister-in-law Dorothy Moorman Nevil Lewis's family, which would account for his not being found in AL on the 1850 or 1860 census. Present-day Moundville is just below the Tuscaloosa County line in Hale Co. but was probably in Tusc. Co. in 1850s. The IGI index to 1850 AL shows Squire Nevels, Tuscaloosa Co. #230 (more on him in a separate post) Zachariah Nevels, Tuscaloosa Co. #189 (He would probably be the son of James L. and Dorothy Moorman Nevil, but I have not looked at the microfilm to verify this.) The IGI index to 1860 census shows Mary Nevell, Tuscaloosa Co. # 555, Collins Beat (I don't know who she is) I don't have the indexes to the Lewis family in 1850 and 1860 AL census nor the 1850 and 1860 VA census indexes to check for Lafayette Nevil. Zach. Lewis Nevill, son of James L. and Dorothy Moorman Nevil, m. Ann M. Lewis 8 Nov 1853 in Tuscaloosa, AL and moved to TX before daughter Ellen Nevill was b. in LaGrange, TX, 29 Sept. 1858 (Source is Ivan Nevill book, again; I haven't checked these dates). Thank you for the reference to Richard Nevil, former slave of Fayette Nevil and Civil War soldier living in LA, who stated he was from Nelson Co., VA. That is a good clue! Jan
