I was getting ready to submit a Supplemental for George Neville in 2017 coming through his daughter, Anne Neville (Bryan) Whitfgield, when I discovered that the DAR had either lost, or more likely, had returned the proofs of my George Neville's service record to a previous applicant, so I hired one of their search service staff to try and locate the source in order to obtain a copy. His record wasn't in the DAR Library or at NARA, but thanks to Bobby Gilmer Moss' book,Roster of South Carolina Patriots in the American Revolution, Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc, 1985, p. 725, I was able to order the proofs I needed from the SC Archives.

George Neville (DAR Patriot A082493) was born c 1734 (in prob. Gloucester Co., VA where his family resided until the mid to late 1730's), died in Montgomery Co., TN sometime after the date of his will 22 Apr 1811 (Mont. Co., TN WB A. pp 56-57) and and the Apr Term 1813 estate inventory and list of articles sold in Apr 1814 (WB B, pp. 132-186).

George served 171 days in the militia as a footman (Private) in the American Revolution from 29 March to 15 September 1779 under Capt. James Hambleton in Col. Roebuck Regiment, 96 Dist., South Carolina. SC. ARCH., ACCTS AUD. #5444A, ROLL # 110, SALLEY & WATES, STUB ENTRIES TO INDENTS, BOOK, X, PT. 1, LIBER X, #1842

George Neville and his wife, Rachel Earle, were married on 26 Mar. 1762 in Fauquier Co., VA and removed from Fauquier to greater NC, the part that became TN, sometime between the years 1767 when they sold their VA property and 1770 when Samuel Earle III, wrote his will stating that his daughter, Rachel, was by then living in the Carolinas. (Frederick Co., VA WB 4, pp 70-72) Note that these dates indicate George and Rachel Neville would have been living in greater NC six to ten years prior to the onset of the American Revolution, so it's highly unlikely that my George could have been the George W. Nevils that served throughout the war beginning as "Cornet" in the First light Dragoons 1780 to 29 Nov. 1782 who received 2666-2/3 acres of land (Brumbaugh's Revolutionary War Records, Page 108.)

By August of 1784, George can be found in Davidson Co., NC where "for and in consideration of four pounds lawful money"; he acquired "lot No 82 in ye aforesaid town of Nashville.... this sixteenth day of Aug. 1784". Sale acknowledged "in court held for Davidson county July 1, 1785." (Davidson Co., NC DB, A-21). Interesting that he only had three years to build on it and to certain specs.

George was the brother of Gen. John Neville, Lt. Col, later Brig. Gen. Joseph Neville, Jr., Private James Neville and Capt. William Neville.
