Around 1760, John Neville and Sarah Richardson were married in 
Cecil County, Maryland.  John and Sarah  had 9 children:  John S., Edward,
Thomas, Lizzie, Hannah, Nancy, Joseph, Mary, and Sarah. All were born
in Maryland.
	
	In 1778, John and Thomas Neville were enlisted under Colonel 
William Richardson in Maryland's Flying Camp, 4th Battalion and 
participated in the New York and Northern Campaign of The Revolutionary
War.
	About 1797, John and Sarah with all their family moved to Beaver
County, Western Pennsylvania.  Their oldest son John was already wed to 
an Elizabeth (last name unknown) and had an eleven year old son named 
John.  According to Dr. W.J. McKnight, it was a savage frontier our 
ancestors moved into and civilized the section.  In 1800, Philadelphia
and New York were over grown villages; Chicago was an unknown.
	Prior to 1800, there were only 9 inventions in the world:
(1) the screw, (2) the lever, (3) the wheel, (4) the Windlass, (5) the
compass, (6) gunpowder, (7) moveable type, (8) the microscope, and 
(9) the telescope.  Everything else has been invented since.
	Births and marriages for the later part of 1700 and early 1800's
were burned in a fire in Cecil County.  Some of the statistics were
taken from the St. Mary Ann's Parrish Register of Cecil County, Maryland.
	
	There are four generations of John Neville, I, II, III, IV. John
I lived in Beaver County, Pennsylvania.  He only lived 3 years after
moving there.  By 1805, John III, by his wife Sarah, was married to an

 Elizabeth Grant, and their children, Jonathan and Nancy, moved to Holmes
County. Their 3rd child, John J. Neville, was born March 10, 1810 in 
Wayne County, Ohio. 
	Thomas and Joseph, brothers of John II, joined him in Ohio before
1815.  Joseph and John III stayed in Holmes County, Ohio permanently.
	In histories, John Neville is listed as one of the first settlers.
 In the fall of 1810, he erected a log home on which he put a shingled
roof.  The first of its' kind and was quite a source of interest to the
whole community on Doughty Creek. He then improved his land by building
a large house and planting an apple orchard.  He topped and grafted the 
trees. The first grafted trees in the settlement and County.  Earl McKelvey
grafted trees in later years.
	John II and Thomas returned to Beaver County, Pennsylvania. John
III made his home in Holmes County, Ohio. He acquired land in Killbuck
Township and Mechanic Township.  He and his wife Elizabeth Grant Neville,
had a large family, 4 sons and 6 daughters.  John III was a farmer and a
stock grower.  John II died in 1855 in Holmes County, and is buried in
Monroe Cemetery; just across the Coshocton Co. line. 
	When John III died, John J. IV came back to administrate the 
estate.  He became a farmer and operated a sawmill.  He served as a 
captain in the Militia for many years. S. Olan Neville still resided
in Beaver County, Pennsylvania.
	Jonathan (#1 for reference), oldest son of John III, wed Sarah Ellen Bucklew in 
1828.  They lived in Berlin Township, Ohio till after the death of his
father in 1855.  He then moved his wife Sarah and 4 sons to the family
farm in Killbuck Township, Ohio.  The area is beautiful with hills and
valleys.  This farm and community was known as "Neville's Corners;"
Township Road #67 of Holmes County.
	Jonathan's two sons, John W. Neville and Jonathan (#2 For Reference) "Bud" Neville,
and Layette Thather owned and operated a general store.
	One of the owners of the store served as Postmaster from 1871 
to 1879.
	From "The Democrat" Holmes County paper dated November 7, 1879;
here is this story.  Burglars entered Neville's Store.  Mr. Neville, 
sleeping in the store room, was aroused and sprang up with a revolver.
The thieves made a hasty exit no richer than when they entered.
	John W. served as Director of Tiverton Center Schools in
Coshocton County, Ohio from 1853 to 1892.
