Description

This book examines the trail of records associated with three generations of the Neville family and documents their role in the settlement and development of first the Virginia Colony and subsequently of our nation. A young John Neville, from his home in Warwickshire, England, apparently was kidnapped to meet labor shortages in the colony. By 1675 he had managed to acquire a small plantation in Kingston Parish, Gloucester County. He became a member of the planter class, cultivating tobacco for export to England. As soils were depleted, and opportunities to acquire more land in the tidewater region limited, his children sought opportunities elsewhere, migrating along the pathway of the Rappahannock River through Middlesex, Caroline, and Spotsylvania to Prince William and later Fauquier Counties. Joseph Neville (1707-1799) served as a constable, an innkeeper, a planter, and a militia officer during the French and Indian War. He first migrated from Gloucester County to the small town of Fredericksburg in Spotsylvania County on the Rappahannock River. There he managed his first ordinary, and after earning the confidence of local leadership, became town constable. He later acquired land and managed taverns in Caroline County, and subsequently in that portion of Prince William County that became Fauquier County. His children answered the call for service during the Revolutionary War, and served with distinction. James Neville (1741-1840) was among the very early pioneers in Kentucky, and helped open this vast territory for exploration and settlement. He first ventured into Kentucky in 1775, and returned in the fall of 1779 with his family to stake his settlement claim. He served multiple tours of militia duty protecting settlers from attack by hostile forces. Despite significant hardships, James Neville and his wife Sarah Jackman succeeded in developing their family farm and raising a large family. Ten children survived to adulthood, and their many descendants are found throughout the United States today.
