Did you ever figure out what your George Neaville was doing in Missouri when he died? Did he have relatives in Newton County? Fairview - Newton County, Missouri Article supplied by Lillie Deane (Hutchings) Eaton Fairview is on Oliver's Prairie, the area that was named for Col. Lunsford Oliver, who is credited with the first white settlement in Newton County. It embraces over 50 square miles of the richest land in southwestern Missouri, with Newtonia in the center. He located on Shoal River, as it was called then; this was truly the land of "the Six Bulls." He arrived in 1829, and after selecting a site for his home, he returned to Arkansas for his family. They arrived the next year to build their pioneer home. This was over eighty miles from their nearest neighbors who were on the Kickapoo Prairie in Springfield. In 1831, four families joined the settlement. They were George McInturf, Joseph Ross, Nathaniel Turner and the John Smith families. Many began to settle after this in the next few years, the Whites, Haley, Northcutt, Stamps, Harris, Bowen, Green, Lansford, Neaville, Liles, Major Puttman and Marrs.
