I have no relation to this family but in my research of another surname I checked out the book, "William Norvell (1746-1794) of Hanover Co., VA." from the Library of Virginia. I will be happy to do any look ups for people that might have a tie to the Norvell family while I have this book for the next month. Terri
Terri, What a generous offer! If you don't mind, would you look & see if there is a Thomas A. Norvell (b. approx 1810-1820) listed. All I know is he married Elizabeth ? and know of one child, Cornelia Frances Norvell b. 1845 in Buckingham Co, VA. Cornelia married David W. Stinson Nov. 2, 1865 in Buckingham,Va. I'm wondering if, by chance, the Norvell family may have had some earlier roots in Hanover Co. Thanks a bunch!!

Terri - I have just catalogued a letter from 'Cousin Norvell' at Totomoi to 'Fannie' [I assume this to be Fanny Peachy Pollard], 05-Nov-1875. Cousin Norvell was a schoolteacher (the letter was written as he/she was "... attempting to write and teach at the same time ..."). This letter is the only indication I have seen of a connection between Pollard and Norvell. I realize that the letter was written a century after William Norvell's time, but I was hoping you might have an idea about the identity of this Cousin Norvell.
