Capt. William Neville

A Patriot of the American Revolution for NORTH CAROLINA with the rank of CAPTAIN. DAR Ancestor # A082528

The following taken from A 370-YEAR HISTORY OF ONE NEVILLE FAMILY (1612 - 1982) 1988 by Joseph B. Neville, 2624 E. Southern Ave., C-213, Tempe, AZ 85282

This fifth-generation William Neville was born in one of Virginia's tidewater counties, possibly Gloucester. As in the case of all the children of Joseph and Ann (Bohannan) Neville, he grew up on Rockingham Farm located four miles north of Warrenton, then in Prince William County. Boogher says that in 1762 he took an oath as ensign in colonial militia. I believe he had married Ann Oldham in 1759. In the Salt Lake City Mormon Library, I copied records from the family bible of this William Neville's second son, Yelvaton (not Yelverton, as it usually has been written).

He was the son of Joseph Neville and Ann Bohannon. He married Winifred Oldham about 1758 in Fauquier County, Virginia. He died sometime after 1813.

Children: Jesse, Mary, Yelvaton, William, Charlotte, Frances, Joseph, Malinda "Milly", John, Joyce, Lettice and Winifred.
