    2. Glenn Gohr
    3. Hi, Woolverton Researchers: All those who are descendants of MOSES HANKS and AGATHA DODSON will be interested in a genealogy of the Neville family which I have recently reproduced. Quite a few of Moses Hanks's descendants intermarried with children and descendants of ANDREW WOOLVERTON. Here is the connection to the Nevilles: 1) John Neville, b. ca. 1612 England, d. June 1664 Calvert Co., MD; md. ca. 1638 in England to Bridget Thoresby, b. ca. 1618 England, d. ca. 1643 Calvert Co., MD 2) James Neville, b. ca. 1640 Calvert Co., MD, d. ca. 1700 Isle of Wight Co., VA; md. ca. 1660 Northampton Co., VA to Elizabeth _________, b. ca. 1640, d. ca. 1700 Isle of Wight Co., VA 3) John Neville, Sr., b. ca. 1661 Northampton Co., VA, d. ca. 1733 VA; md. ca. 1685 Isle of Wight Co., VA to Elizabeth Bohannan, b. ca. 1665 VA 4) Joseph Neville, Sr., b. ca. 1707 Isle of Wight Co., VA, d. aft. 1790 Hardy Co., VA; md. ca. 1729 in VA to Ann Bohannan, b. ca. 1710 VA, d. ca. 1777 Hampshire Co., VA 5) Mary Neville, b. ca. 1730 VA, d. aft. 1790 TN; md. ca. 1747 VA to Thomas Dodson (Second Fork), b. 3 Oct. 1728 Richmond Co., VA, d. bef. 21 Oct. 1783 Pittsylvania Co., VA 6) Agatha Dodson, b. Dec. 1749 VA, d. Nov. (aft. 1830) Maury Co., TN; md. bef. 1769 to Moses Hanks, b. 15 July 1746 Richmond Co., VA, d. 19 Aug. 1831 Maury Co., TN 7) Elizabeth Hanks, b. 9 Sept. 1782 Pittsylvania Co., VA, d. 1833 Maury Co., TN; md. 1 June 1799 Lincoln Co., KY to Robert Williams, b. 1776 VA, d. 1837 Maury Co., TN 8) Agatha Williams, b. 2 June 1802 Maury Co., TN, d. 13 July 1874 McNairy Co., TN; md. 22 Sept. 1817 Columbia, TN to James Matthew Woolverton, b. 12 May 1797 Somerset, KY, d. 24 July 1878 McNairy Co., TN Other Moses Hanks-Andrew Woolverton connections include: John Bird Woolverton (1780-1863) (son of Andrew Woolverton) md. Anna Jane Hanks (1788-1864) (dau. of Moses Hanks) Mary "Polly" Woolverton (1795-1854) (dau. of Andrew Woolverton) md. Rev. Elijah Hanks (1793-1871) (son of Moses Hanks) Notice on the book: Hi, Neville Researchers: I have taken my original copy of A 370-YEAR HISTORY OF ONE NEVILLE FAMILY (1612-1982), by Joseph B. Neville, 1988, and made copies enough for everyone who is interested. The book is spiral bound with 8 1/2 by 11 in. size paper. It is 175 (9 intro. pages, plus 166 pages of text). A few illustrations are included, and Joe Neville gives quite a few footnotes to verify his long-standing research. Joe was elderly and had suffered a stroke before the printing of the book. A few typos may be noted, but that is understandable. Much of the original text was shrunk by Joe to better present his material, although this makes some of the material a little hard to read. But this is the best and most up-to- date book on the Neville family thus far. Joe was aware of more descendants in each line (including my own line) but his methodology was more in a chart format, and it made it extremely difficult for him to add new descendants into the list. He went generation by generation. There is no index to the book, and that would be a massive project. I have looked in my earlier correspondence with Joe Neville, who is now deceased. In March 1988 he offered the book for sale at a prepublication price of $15.00. He offered discounts if ordering more than one copy. He also encouraged people to donate copies to libraries. He gave a discounted price of $10.00 to anyone who would donate a copy to a library. I'm sure there are many copies already in libraries around the country, although I have not checked the OCLC listing to find out where. Joe Neville mentions that copies would be donated to the LDS Library in Salt Lake City and The Filson Club Library in Louisville, KY. Joe Neville said that he would not be reprinting his book after copies were sold out. I've also tried in vain to locate R. Geoffrey Neville of Avon, Massachusetts, who assisted him in the publication of the book, to see if any copies might exist even at this late date. R. Geoffrey Neville could not be located. Joe Neville, on his title page says this: "Any person wishing to copy from this book, by photostatic means or otherwise, has my permission to do so, PROVIDING the copy is for his own use, and not for sale." There is no formal copyright disclaimer or notice in the book. I was very reluctant to reproduce the book because of this statement, but after much discussion with Ren Neville and others in the group, it was decided that if I could offer the books at a reasonable price that no one would quibble over Joe Neville's original statement. If copied by the photocopy method, it would take one hours of standing at a copy machine to make one copy. Also the price would most likely be between 7 and 10 cents per page. That cost would amount to about $20.00 easily for someone to reproduce a single copy. Through the offset method (same method that Joe Neville originally used), I have made 40 copies of his book. Even though this is a copy of a copy, I am very pleased with the result. The pages came out very clear. And I was able to get a very good price on the printing, binding, etc. In fact, my price is lower than Joe Neville's original price was back in 1988. I am offering copies of the book for $10.00 each. And that includes postage. All I will need is your mailing address and a check or money order for that amount. If you have any questions on this, let me know.
