1821–1897
The Neaveill family began with Andrew “Andy” Johnson
Neaveill (son of Enoch and Edith [Goodman] Neaville) who
was born 27 Sep 1821 in Wayne County, Illinois, and died at
the age of seventy-five on 02 Aug 1897 in Wayne County,
Illinois. Andy married Lucinda Young (daughter of John
Young and Susan Lock) sometime before 1842 probably in
Wayne County, Illinois. Lucinda was born 14 Aug 1823 in
Wayne County, Illinois, and died at the age of seventy-two on
06 Mar 1896 in Wayne County, Illinois.
Andy Neaveill was apparently the first person to use the
unusual spelling of NEAVEILL. One of the earliest documents that uses this spelling is an Illinois land sale record
from the 1840s in which Andrew purchased 40 acres in
Wayne County, Illinois. It is also spelled NEAVEILL on his
tombstone. It is unknown why Andy adopted this unique
spelling.
All the people who spell their name NEAVEILL today
are descendants of Andy through one his two sons: Enoch
Levi “Lee” Neaveill and John Thomas “Tom” Neaveill.
The following is from the Wayne County Press, Aug. 5,
1897, p. 3:
Young Cemetery has been badly neglected for a number of
years. It is overgrown with weeds and small trees and most
of the stones are damaged or buried; however Andy and Lucinda’s stone was still intact as of the summer of 1998.

A N DY ’S FA T H E R : E N O CH N E AV I L L E
Andy’s father, Enoch Neaville, was born sometime between
1765 and 1770 in Tennessee (according to census records),
and died sometime before 1850 probably in Wayne County,
Illinois. Enoch married (1) Barsheba Keeney? probaby
sometime before 1793. He married (2) Edith Goodman
(daughter of Ansel Goodman and Edith ?) 26 Feb 1816 in
Adair County, Kentucky.
The 1810 census for Wayne County, Kentucky, lists
Enoch as between the ages of 26 and 45 which means he
could have been born no earlier than around 1765 and no later
than 1784; and the 1830 census for Wayne County, Illinois,
lists him as between 60 and 70 years old which places his
birth sometime after 1760 and sometime before 1770.
The only sources that indicate where Enoch may have
been born are the Wayne County, Illinois, census records.
The 1870 census lists Andrew J. Neavils (Enoch’s son), age
59, born in Illinois, father born in Tennessee, mother born in
South Carolina. Tennessee may indeed be the correct birthplace for Enoch as the earliest record that mentions Enoch is
the Knox County, Tennessee, tax list for 1796. In 1796,
Enoch would have been between the ages of 26 and 31.
Enoch must have left Tennessee sometime between 1796
and 1804 since he appears in various Kentucky records
between 1804 and 1817. The majority of info at this time is in
Wayne County, Kentucky, with a couple of records from
nearby Pulaski County, and one in Adair County. Here’s a
timeline:
1804
Enoch purchased 76 acres in Wayne County,
Kentucky
1806
Enoch purchased 200 acres in Pulaski County,
Kentucky
1810
Enoch was listed on the census for Wayne
County, Kentucky
1811
Enoch’s daughter, Anna, married in February
in Pulaski County, Kentucky
Enoch and Barsheba Neavill sold 76 acres of
land to Henry Thomas in August
Enoch was listed as surety for the marriage of
James Neavill and Marian Dodson in September in Wayne County, Kentucky
1816
Enoch married Edith Goodman in Adair
County, Kentucky
1817
Enoch Neavill was Capt of 90th Mil Dist,
Wayne County, Kentucky
After 1817, Enoch disappeared from Wayne County,
Kentucky. In 1818, he appeared on the White County, Illinois, census (part of White County later became Wayne
County). In 1820, 1830 and 1840 he appeared on the Wayne
County, Illinois, censuses.
Here is an interesting item about Enoch and the early settlers of Big Mound Township from the History of Wayne &
Clay Counties published by Globe Publishing (Chicago) in
1884:
Other settlers of the township were Enoch Neville,
Andrew Hall, John Bovee, Capt. John Clark, ____
Robinson, Daniel Clevinger, etc. Enoch Neville was a
great storyteller, a kind of Joe Mulhatton of a fellow.
He could entertain his listeners by the hour with the
most wonderful stories that could be imagined. He
talked through his nose, and this lent additional interest
to his yarns.
The following excerpt is from Wayne County, Illinois:
An Early History written in 1918 by William Robert Jones:
Enoch Neavell, of the census of 1820, was the ancestor
of all the Wayne county people of that name. Think he
settled in “Snake Island” in Big Mound. He had a son,
“Andy” Neavell living in Snake Island, and conducting
a mill, some 40 years ago. Enoch Neavill was a Ranger
in the War of 1812, and has many descendants in
Wayne; most all well respected when I knew them.
It is not known where Enoch and Edith are buried. It is
possible that they are buried in separate locations since
Enoch died before 1850 and Edith apparently spent the last
years of her life with daughter Jemima (Edith is shown living
with Jemima and family on the 1860 census). In the Roll of
Honor: Record of Burial Places of Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Army Nurses of All Wars of the United States Buried in the State of Illinois, Volume I (1929), there is an E. P.
Nevel listed as buried in Bavea Cemetery in Geff Township,
Wayne County, Illinois. Perhaps this is Enoch’s grave. Unfortunately, the Roll of Honor doesn’t list any information
other than his name.
EDITH (GOODMAN) NEAVILLE
Although not much is known about Edith Goodman, some
things are known about her father, Ansel Goodman. The following information is from a website on the Goodman family: http://www.regoodman.com.
Based on his stated age of 80 in his 1832 Rev War petition, Ansel Goodman was b. about 1752, probably in
Hanover Co. VA, His parentage has not yet been determined with any certainty. Neither have I been able to
positively identify any of his family.
4
The Neaveill Family
As told in his petition, Ansel enlisted in July 1777
with about 50 others of Bedford Co, in the Company of
Capt. Charles Gwatkins, who had come back to his
home county to enlist volunteers to go the the relief of
Boonesborough. This was called “The Kentucky Expedition” in one reference in “Virginia State Papers”.
Based on his land transactions with and proximity
to Arabia / Raba Brown of Bedford Co., VA, and the
given names of Robert in the families of his brother
John / James Goodman, also of Bedford Co., VA, it
now seems likely that he and John / James Goodman,
father of my ancestor Amos I. Goodman, were both
sons of Robert Goodman, of Hanover Co., who arrived
in then Lunenburg Co., VA and bought land adjoining
the Browns on Flat Rock Creek in 1759.
By his name, it is possible that he may have been
related in some way to Charles Goodman of Albemarle,
not as a son or brother, but possibly a nephew. Bedford
Co., (later Campbell Co.) was also the residence of Bartellot Goodman, b. ca. 1730, a French & Indian War
veteran, of Louisa Co., VA, and a number of whose descendants also migrated through Kentucky and settled in
Indiana.
Ansel Goodman sold his Bedford Co. land in 1788,
probably removing first to Stokes Co., NC, where Ansylem Goodman is recorded in the 1790 census with
wife, two male and 3 female children, then to Adair Co.,
KY, later divided in 1825/6 to form Russell Co., where
Ansel made his application for a Rev. War pension. Arabia Brown, his old Bedford Co., VA neighbor and
friend, being one of the testators.
A Martin Goodman is listed with land warrant in
Adair Co., KY, in 1822, for 50 ac. on Roaring Lilly
Creek. This is probably the Martin G. Goodman b 1798
in TN, who later removed to Indiana with wife Nancy,
who was born in Adair Co., KY in 1801. An Anslow
(sic. Anselm/Ansel?) Goodman had land warrant for 50
ac. on Big Lilly Creek, Adair Co., also in 1822. Based
on dates and proximity, Martin and Anslow were probably related, perhaps brothers. They may have been sons
of Ansel Goodman, as Ansel also lived in Adair Co.
Another Martin Goodman, b ca 1820, is later found
in Grass Twp., Spencer Co, IN 1860 with son Ansel. According to other researchers closer to this family, the elder Martin Goodman’s family did not include another
Martin Goodman. In addition to the elder Ansolom
(sic.) Goodman, believed to be Ansel b. ca 1752, a
younger Ansle (sic.) Goodman is also listed in the 1810
Adair Co., KY census, so this one could have been the
father of the Martin Goodman b. ca 1820 of Indiana. In
any case, the Ansel name in the 1860 census, the common name of Martin, and their earlier residence in Adair
Co., KY, seems to place this line as descended from
Ansel Goodman b. ca. 1752.
Andrew and Jesse Goodman were also in Adair
Co., KY 1810 census, and both were of an age to be possible sons of Ansel.
ENOCH NEAVILLE’S
KENTUCKY CHILDREN
There were a few Neavilles in Wayne and Pulaski Counties,
Kentucky, in the late 1700s and early 1800s who were probably children from Enoch’s marriage to Barsheba. Among
these were:
1. James Neaville (see p. 170)
2. Anna Neavill
James Neavill married a Marian or Miriam Dodson in
Wayne County, Kentucky. The record for this marriage lists
“Enoch Neavill” for surety.
Anna Neavill married William S. Hammonds 25 Feb
1811 in Pulaski County, Kentucky. The record for this marriage lists “Enoch Nevill” as the bride’s father.
Some of the children appearing with Enoch and Edith on
the Wayne County, Illinois, census for 1818 and 1820 may
have been from Enoch’s marriage to Barsheba. There was a
Bersheba Nevil who married a Willis Gray on 14 Oct 1828 in
Madison County, Illinois. Perhaps this was one of Enoch’s
daughters from his marriage to Barsheba.
Also, there were a few Neavilles who lived in Jo Daviess
County, Illinois, who may have been children of Enoch and
Barsheba. These are:

Jemima Neavill (see p. 112)
Nancy Neavill (see p. 115)
Calvin Neavill (see p. 113)
Indiana Neavill (see p. 118)
Indiana Neavill married James Neavill (probably
Enoch’s nephew). This James was the son of George
Neaville who was probably Enoch’s brother. Both George
and Enoch were born in the 1760s, shortly before the American Revolution. George was older, born probably between
1760 and 1765, while Enoch was born probably between
1765 and 1770.
Both George and Enoch lived in Wayne County, Kentucky, in the early 1800s. George later moved to Alabama and
eventually settled in Effingham County, Illinois, while Enoch
was one of the early pioneers of nearby Wayne County, Illinois, settling there around 1818.
Andy Neaveill
The ancestors of George and Enoch Neaville may have
been members of the Neufville family that resided in North
and South Carolina in the 1700s and in particular colonial
Charleston, South Carolina. Two members of this family,
John Jr. and William, were held prisoner on the British ship
Forbay during the Revolutionary War (see the letter below
which lists all the prisoners who were held on this ship). William Robert Jones wrote in Wayne County, Illinois: An Early
History:
...There was also a Thomas Harris that was captured at
Charleston when General Lincoln capitulated in 1780.
This Harris was kept a prisoner on the British ship,
TORBAY [sic], for several months, along with the following men whose relatives finally found their way into
Wayne county.

If Jones were correct, then the Neaville family is probably descended from the Neufville family because Enoch
Neaville was the only Neaville in Wayne County when it
was settled and all the Neavilles who eventually lived there
were either Enoch’s or George’s descendants. However,
much of what W. R. Jones wrote was based not on docu-
mented evidence, but on his recollections, so his conclusions
should be treated with caution.
Other sources list the Neavilles as being of French
ancestry. This supports the theory that they were descendants
of the Neufvilles who were French Huguenots. The History
of Effingham County, Illinois, says of George: “Neaville was
a Frenchman.” The Biographical and Historical Memoirs of
Eastern Arkansas says of George’s son, Elihu, “He was of
French descent.”
Another thing that supports the Neufville theory is that
many members of the Neufville family anglicized the spelling of their name to Neaville (making it more similar to the
British spelling of Neville).
L U C I N D A ’S FA T H E R : J O H N YO U NG
The following excerpt on Lucinda (Young) Neaveill’s father,
John Young, and the settlement of Big Mound Township is
from History of Wayne & Clay Counties (1884, Chicago:
Globe Publishing):
John and James Young, two brothers, came about the
year 1818. John was a man of fine intelligence, but
uneducated—illiterate but not ignorant. He loved money
and held on to it like grim death, which eventually gave
rise to the belief that he was a downright miser. His
cabin was of the usual pioneer style—built of logs, and
in one of these, which, like the Hardshell preacher’s
“board tree,” was “holler at the butt,” he hid his money,
afterward plastering over the aperture with mud. When
on his death-bed he told his son of the hiding-place of
his money, and upon searching according to the old
man’s directions quite a sum of gold and silver was
found. He died but a few years ago, at an advanced age,
and was rich, having considerable property in addition
to his hidden wealth. He was a man of fine taste and
excellent judgment; he bought but little, but that was of
the very best quality. He possessed little of the refinements of life, indeed, lived almost like an animal, and
with his animals. Ewing Young, a son of John, still lives
in the county. In many respects, he is like his father,
being intellectual, enterprising and wealthy, and like his
father is fond of money, and takes care of what he gets.
He owns several good farms well improved and stocked.
The following is from Wayne County, Illinois: An Early
History by William Robert Jones:
The Youngs, in the early pioneer days, were considered
wealthy. They were also respected.
When a child, my mother used to stop at John
Young’s house, and I often accompanied her. At that
time he was a very old man, and was living alone in a
big hewed log house. Into these logs he had bored auger
holes and put his hoarded gold into the holes, and then
driven in on the gold wooden pins on which were hanging saddles, bridles, clothing, etc. Of course I knew
nothing of this gold until after his death.
John Young was born in 1789, the year the Constitution of the U.S. was adopted. He died at the age of 90.
In his dotage he became miserly, and lived alone
with his gold; but he was not always thus. In his earlier
life he was a good and useful man. He frequently served
Wayne County in positions of trust; as he did in his still
earlier life, his country in time of danger. The picture
drawn of him by the History of Wayne and Clay counties does his memory and his descendants, a great
injustice.
He was a heroic soldier in the War of 1812. He was
a ranger under Captain William Boon, and selected his
future home in Wayne county, near the line between
what were afterward the precints of Big Mound and
Lamard, while helping Captain Boon chase Indians in
1813.
The following is from the Wayne County Press, October
10, 1878:
G. J. George showed us a few days since one of the
pieces of gold which John Young, recently deceased,
had hoarded for many years. Over sixteen years ago he
dug out a hole in one of the logs of his house and poured
in $1995.00 in gold. The place was fastened up and
daubed over similar to the balance of the house. Here
this gold rested until Mr. Young’s death, a few months
since. At one time during the war it might have been
sold for nearly $5000 in greenbacks.

1842–1901
Enoch Levi “Lee” Neaveill (son of Andy and Lucinda
[Young] Neaveill) was born 17 Sep 1842 in Wayne County,
Illinois, and died at the age of fifty-nine on 05 Dec 1901 in
Wayne County, Illinois. He married Mary Jane Butler
(daughter of Hayden Butler and Phoebe Sanders) 29 Aug
1869 in Wayne County, Illinois. Mary was born 11 Mar 1849
in Wayne County, Illinois, and died at the age of seventy-six
on 27 May 1925 in Wayne County, Illinois. Lee Neaveill’s
brother, John Thomas “Tom” Neaveill, married Mary Jane
Butler’s sister, Siberia Mae Butler.
Lee Neaveill is buried in Victory Cemetery, west of Fairfield, Illinois. His tombstone is inscribed:
But is he dead, no, no, he lives
His happy spirit flees
To heaven above and there receives
The long expected prize.
Lee Neaveill was drafted as a private in Company D,
53rd Infantry in the Civil War. At some point in his life,
Enoch lost his left arm, perhaps during his service in the
Civil War. He applied for a military invalid pension on 05
Aug 1890. The declaration form for this pension states,
“...That he is wholly unable to earn a support by manual labor, by reason of loss of left arm.” Enoch Levi Neaveill’s
death certificate lists the cause of his death as “abscess of
liver.”
After Lee Neaveill died, his wife, Mary, went through
the necessary procedures to continue to receive Lee’s military pension. An affidavit dated 09 Apr 1902, which Mary
signed, states:
That the claimant testifies in her own behalf That she
owns a one third interest of 84 acres of land in the south
west part of Big Mound Township State of Illinois
which is worth about Five hundred dollars ($500) and
that the rent of her part will not more than pay the taxes
on the whole real estate, that she also has her part of one
cow, one heifer one horse and one wagon the whole lot
worth about Seventy five Dollars, and that she has house
hold goods, bed and bedding a sewing machine and a
loom, all of which have been in use for 25 years. That
her income is only what she makes from her loom weaving carpet, which will be about one dollar per month.
That there is no one legally bound to support her.
Another affidavit was signed by Charles W. Curry and
William E. Neavill (William E. Neavill was a distant
cousin):

and Mary (Butler) Neaveill

That the affiants have been acquainted with the soldier
since his boyhood days and have re-sided in the same
neighborhood all their lives and that they know to a certainty the soldier was not in the military or navel service
prior to March 30 1865 That they further state that the
soldier had when he died 84 acres of land situated in the

acres of the land is under cultivation the other portion is
swamp lands, of which the claimant owns her dowery,
or her third there being four heirs besides the claimant.
That the above stated land is worth and would bring not
over Five hundred Dollars and will rent from Sixty to
Ninety per year. and that the claimant has no other
income besides her part of the farm only by her own
labor, by weaving carpet That the above is written as
dictated and that William E Neaveill is a distant relative
of the soldier.
cow, one heifer and her household furniture and a widows dowery in 84 acres of land; that she has no money,
mortgages, bonds, stocks, investments in anything nor
income from any source except what is above mentioned and her labor.
A fourth affidavit was signed by John F. Butler (Mary’s
brother) and Florence (Neaveill) Curry (Mary’s sister-inlaw, see p. 107):
That the affiants are brother and sister in law to the
claimant and have lived in the same vacinity of the soldier’s and claimant all their lives and state that Guy A.
Neaveill was born the 23 day of May 1889 the later was
at the house at the time of birth and the latter was at the
house of the claimant the next day after the birth and
that Guy A Neaveill is still living and that the claimant
has not remarried since the death of the soldier and that
the claimant has not disposed of any property since Feb
10th 1902 and that the above is written as dictated.
A third affidavit was signed by John Thomas Neaveill
(Mary’s brother-in-law, see p. 28) and John F. Butler
(Mary’s brother):
That they have known the claimant for thirty-five years
or longer and that they know that she nor the above
named soldier was ever previously married, that they
lived together as husband and wife from the day of their
marriage to the day of the soldeir’s death, that the claimant has not remarried since the death of her husband.
The affiants declare that the claimant and the abovenamed soldier were married by A. J. Armstrong a J. P.
[Justice of the Peace] at her father’s residence near
Boyleston Wayne County Illinois August 29th 1869;
that there were no guests at the wedding except near relatives; that the officiating Justice of the Peace is dead,
and that the County records were burned in 1886.
They also declare that the claimant has no property
of her own either real or personal except one horse one
According to her death certificate, Mary Jane (Butler)
Neaveill died from “Acute Brights disease. Contributory
(secondary): Heart disease.”

1847–1928
John Thomas “Tom” Neaveill (son of Andy and Lucinda
[Young] Neaveill) was born 20 Nov 1847 in Wayne County,
Illinois, and died at the age of eighty on 26 Apr 1928 in
Wayne County, Illinois. He married Siberia May Butler
(daughter of Hayden Butler and Phoebe Sanders) 11 Apr
1869 in Wayne County, Illinois. Siberia was born 11 Jan 1851
in Wayne County, Illinois, and died 16 Aug 1921 in Wayne
County, Illinois.
Tom Neaveill’s birthdate of 20 Nov 1847 may be incorrect. This is the date given on his death certificate however
federal census records from 1850 and 1860 show him to be
born closer to 1850 (He’s listed as one year old in 1850 and
ten years old in 1860). He was probably actually born in
1849.
Tom Neaveill’s death certificate lists the cause of his
death as “cerebral hemorrhage (right).” He is buried in either
Victory Cemetery or Bovee Cemetery. There is no marker
visible in either of these cemeteries; it may have fallen over
and gotten covered by the ground. It is probably more likely
28
that he is buried in Victory Cemetery as that is where his
brother, Enoch Levi “Lee” Neaveill (see p. 7), is buried as
well as Tom’s son, Archie (see p. 91). His death certificate
states that he was buried in Bovee however the following
appeared in the Wayne County Press a few days after he died:
“Uncle Tom Neavill was buried at Victory Saturday.” Bovee
and Victory are across the road from each other so they could
have been confused.
Siberia May (Butler) Neaveill was born 11 Jan 1851 in
Wayne County, Illinois, and died 16 Aug 1921 in Wayne
County, Illinois. Siberia was the sister of Mary Jane Butler
who married Enoch Levi “Lee” Neaveill, John Thomas’
brother; so all the cousins that descend from these two marriages are actually double cousins. Siberia’s death certificate

We leave it all in God’s hands. He who is too good
to do evil, and too wise to err, has planned it all. To Him
we commit our loved one, and hope in His own good
time to clasp her hand again. Until then, dear wife,
mother, daughter, friend—farewell.
Her suffering ended with the day,
yet lived she at its close,
And breathed the long, long night away,
in statue-like repose.
But when the Sun in all His state,
illumed the eastern skies,
She passed through glory’s morning gate,
and walked in Paradise.

The following is from A History of Edwards County, Illinois, vol. 1, 1980, p. 175:
Gilbert Coale
Gilbert E. and M. Fleta Coale were married in Albion,
Sept. 14, 1927, Married for more than 50 years, the Coales farmed most of those years in the Bone Gap, Bellmont and West Salem areas.
Gilbert Coale was the youngest of four children
born to Samuel and Phoebe Neville Coale of near Bellmont. He was born Jan. 15, 1904.
Mary Fleta (Englebright) (1909–1988) and
Gilbert Everett Coale (1904–1977)
Mary Fleta was the oldest of four children born to
Cecil and Caroline Fleck Englebright of Carmi. She
was born Oct. 22, 1909.
Fleta Coale was one of the first employees ever
hired by Champion Laboratories, Inc. of West Salem.
She retired in 1971 after working 16 years.
The couple had three children, all of whom attended schools in Edwards County. They are: Frances L.
Briggs of Bone Gap, Wanda Fennell of Kimbrall, Neb.,
and Donald H. Coale of Carterville, Ill.
Following their retirement from farming in 1974,
the Coales did a large amount of carpentry and home refurbishing in the county.
One of their most extensive projects was the purchase
and redecoration of the deteriorating Doc Schaeffer
home, a landmark on the square in West Salem. Following
their redecoration of the home, they moved there in 1975.
Gilbert Coale died in that home Oct. 17, 1977,
barely a month after the couple celebrated their golden
anniversary. Mrs. Coale still lives in the home.
In their retirement years, the Coales were very active in senior citizen activities throughout the Southeastern Illinois area.
The Coales have nine grandchildren and three great
grandchildren at this writing.
Mr. Coale was buried in the Moravian Cemetery in
West Salem.
Children of Gilbert Coale and Mary Englebright are:

FRANCES LOUISE COALE
Frances Louise Coale (daughter of Gilbert and Mary [Englebright] Coale) was born 28 Jun 1928. She married Melvin
Grant Briggs (son of Nathan Briggs and Anna Sieffermann)
10 Aug 1947 in Bone Gap, Illinois.
The following is from A History of Edwards County, Illinois, vol. 1, 1980, p. 152:
Melvin G. Briggs
Melvin G. Briggs and Frances L. Coale were married in
Bone Gap Aug. 10, 1947.
On the surface it was a marriage typical of the
times. Melvin was a returning veteran of the war and she
a young woman of the area. Together they made plans to
work, prosper, and raise a family.
They did all three. Yet when Melvin Briggs died
June 17, 1979 in a hospital in Danville, Illinois, there
58
The Neaveill Family
were none who knew the family who could say the marriage had been typical.
Melvin Briggs was born the son of Nathan Grant
and Anna Siefferman Briggs Nov. 9, 1923 in Bone
Gap. In his teenage years he was recognized as a standout athlete and a hard worker.
Frances Briggs was born June 18, 1928, the daughter and first child of Gilbert E. and Mary Fleta Englebright Coale. She was raised on farm homes near
Bellmont and Bone Gap.
In the early years of their marriage Melvin worked
on an ice route, raised hogs, and worked as assistant
manager of the Bone Gap Elevator.
The couple had two children: Joyce, born Sept 2,
1948, and Jimmy Neil born Dec. 23, 1950.
Melvin, who had served in Germany as a fireman
on a train carrying badly needed supplies for the troops
during World War II, established a reputation as an astute and fair businessman.
Together he and his father made the Bone Gap Elevator one of the leading centers for livestock feed sales
in the area.
Yet fate worked great hardships against the dreams
of the Briggs family. In the middle sixties Melvin Briggs
was unexplicably stricken with a severe case of rheumatoid arthritis. He was taken to an arthritic hospital where
doctors predicted he would not live another year.
He did. He was cared for by area doctors and his
family. After a period of months he began slowly to
learn to walk again. Although the arthritis never loosened its grip, his determination allowed him to return to
his job at the elevator, do small chores around his home,
and eventually even to ride a bicycle.
Pain was with him constantly. Yet he never relented in
his desire to beat the disease which was emaciating him.
Although he had dreams they were not to be.
Throughout the 1970’s he underwent painful and diffi-

cult operations. Many of his joints were removed and artificial joints replaced them.
It was during this difficult time that his father died
and Melvin G. Briggs became sole proprietor of the Bone
Gap Elevator. Although his wife and children worked at
his side, his painful existence forced him to sell the elevator to its present owner in September of 1975.
Nearly all of the remainder of his life was spent as
an invalid. His life was a trial to all who knew him and
sympathized with his plight. Many will remember his
steadfast courage and determination to smile or say a
kind word even when racked with pain.
All who knew him will know forever the truth in
the statement: “arthritis is a killer.”
His wife, two children, and three grandchildren still
reside in Bone Gap. A sister, Wilma Marie Bradham,
now resides in Paris, Ill.
Children of Frances Coale and Melvin Briggs are:

Joyce Ann Briggs
Joyce Ann Briggs (daughter of Melvin and Frances [Coale]
Briggs) was born 02 Sep 1948. She married Ronald “Ron”
Allen Gawthorp (son of Lester Gawthorp and Vida ?) 21 Oct
1967.
The following is from the Mt. Carmel, Illinois, Daily
Republican Register, June 6, 2002:
Ron Gawthorp, West Salem native, pens novel
WEST SALEM, ILL. — After years of hard work and
timeless hours of effort, Ron Gawthorp, a native of West
Salem, Ill., has seen one of his long time dreams become
a reality. He is a published author.
“Richer than the Rockefellers” is the first book published by Gawthorp, who now lives in Buckhannon,
West Virginia.
Gawthorp, the son of Lester Emil and Vida Louise
Gawthorp, lived in West Salem until he was drafted into
the military in 1967. He graduated from Edwards
County High School in 1965.
The experiences he gathered while living in West Salem, Edwards County and southeastern Illinois helped propel him to this first book, a story about a family of crude oil
privateers that demonstrate a tremendous work ethic.
...
Though the book is fictional, longtime residents of
southeastern Illinois will be able to pick up on some
similarities between their hometown and “Century,” and
the area surrounding it.
People will become acquainted with “Century,” when
they read stories about characters like “Brownie” at the Illinois Central Depot, and places like “Deisher’s Ford” and
the Rotary meeting at the “Rainbow Grill” in Amma.
Descendants of Tom Neaveill
Towns that remain in southeastern Illinois today are
also mentioned in the book, like Salem and Louisville.
He also mentions “Superior Drilling,” and the community of Crossville.
Ab Roby’s homeplace is also located just threequarters of a mile off Meridian Road.
“A lot of the characters were inspired by people I
knew in West Salem,” Gawthorp said. “But, as you follow the characters through the book, something will
happen to the character that wasn’t in their lifespan.”
...
The Author
Gawthorp paid for college, and made money during
high school, by spending his fair share of time in the
patch. Oil got into his veins as a teenager, as he worked
full and part-time as a roughneck to make ends meet and
to earn spending money.
Gawthorp attended Southern Illinois University,
where he majored in journalism, graduating in 1972.
In his first year of school at SIU, Gawthorp won the
William Randolph Hearst Award for feature writing.
As a professional journalist, Gawthorp also won numerous journalism awards, on both the state and national levels.
Gawthorp has two more novels in the works and
has solid ideas for several others, he said.
“Richer than the Rockefellers” is published by
Holly Hill Publishing Company. There are 2,000 copies
printed in the first edition.
Books can be order online at rongawthorp.com.
Credit cards are accepted for online orders. The sale
price of the book is $15.95, plus shipping and handling.

University Outdoor Laboratories with handicapped children. After leaving the university, he returned to Bone
Gap to be employed by the family business, The Bone

The seventh grade student and cheerleader died
shortly after noon Saturday at Firmin-Deloge Children’s

OBITUARY
Clark Infant Died in Sleep Friday Morn
Elmer Lawrence Clark, four months’ old son of Mr. and
Mrs. Charles H. Clark, died suddenly at the family resi-
dence on Route 1-B, northeast of Albion, early Friday
morning. Death was attributed to natural causes by the
coroner’s jury empanelled several hours later by Dr. R.
L. Moter, county coroner, but the circumstances were
unusually tragic.
Mrs. Hula Clark, mother of the infant, testified that
the baby had suffered a slight cold for several days, but
had seemed better. About 3:00 Friday morning she got
up and gave the infant his bottle and held him until he
acted as though he wanted to go to sleep again. He
seemed alright.
At 3:45 Mrs. Clark got up again to give a little
daughter Evelyn Ruth her bottle. She then went over to
the little son’s bed to tuck him in and found him cold.
Mrs. Clark immediately called her husband, fearing the
worst, and they found the baby had passed away. The
father had got up about 1 a. m. to see if the children
were all right. At that time Mr. Clerk [sic] testified that
the infant was not fussing and did not seem to be ill.

News-Sentinel, December 8, 1994, p. 1A:
DRUG CROSS FIRE SUSPECTED
IN DOUBLE HOMICIDE
Ricky Neaville and Gregory Pyle Ponder had been pals
for more than a decade.
They worked together cleaning windows and buildings, for two companies run by Neaville’s family, and
spent their off hours together partying and enjoying
themselves.
“Last week, one of them said, ’We’ve been together
so long we’re going to live together and die together,’”
Neaville’s uncle, Steven Neaville, recalled yesterday.
Neaville and Ponder’s lives did come to an end on
the same day, from bursts of gunfire to their chests.
They were found shot inside a home at 3606 S.
Lafayette St. just after 12:30 a.m. yesterday, and family
members think their deaths could have been prevented.
Neaville, 21, of Lafayette near Baxter Street, was
found dead in the basement. A trail of blood led up the
basement steps to the living room on the first floor,
where police believe he and Ponder, 19, of Barr Street
near Wiebke Street, were shot.
Ponder was in the living room still clinging to life
when police arrived. He died a short time later at St. Joseph Medical Center.
The men, both believed to be guests at the home,
were found after residents on the second floor heard
noises and went to check. After finding the bodies, the
residents, a man and a woman, ran to a neighbor’s house
to call police.
Yesterday, in the midst of piecing together the reasons Neaville and Ponder were killed, Neaville’s family fondly recalled both men. Neaville’s aunt, Faye
Schoenleben remembered him as “a very loving person
(who) always had a smile.” Neaville’s grandmother,
Trudy Neaville, said he sometimes associated with the
wrong crowd, but also said he was “a good-hearted kid.
I don’t think he’d hurt a flea.”
Descendants of Mary Clemance Neaveill
Neaville attended South Side High School, but did
not graduate, Schoenleben said. Yet he still planned to
make the most of his future.
On Monday, Neaville and his father, William, talked
about his someday assuming the reins of his father’s business, A-1 Window Cleaning & Janitor Service.
“He had hoped it would be his company someday,”
Neaville’s grandfather, Eugene Neaville, said.
Neaville and Ponder worked for Neaville’s father
and for Neaville’s uncle, who runs AAA Window
Cleaning.
Gregory Ponder is survived by his mother, Bertha
M. Ponder, of Rochester, and a brother, Erik C., of Fort
Wayne. Ponder’s family could not be reached for
comment.
Ponder and Neaville had been friends since
Neaville was 8, Steven Neaville said.
According to Sgt. Jim Zamora, police spokesman,
police had not firmly determined a motive for the killings yesterday. But Neaville’s family said they believe
drugs drove the burst of violence that left both men dead
of multiple gunshot wounds to the chest.
Steven Neaville said police told family members
Ricky Neaville had been shot nine times with a 9mm
handgun. A shotgun also was used in the slayings,
Steven Neaville said, leading family members to suspect two gunmen were to blame.
Steven Neaville said he had personally purchased
drugs from people at the house several times. Marijuana
was readily available there, he said, but cocaine, heroin
and Valium also could be purchased from people there.
“I bought weed off of them and I’ve bought coke
and Valium from them,” he said. Neaville said he had
also dealt drugs he bought at the house.
Residents of the home regularly moved to avoid detection, Neaville said, but stayed within the area of
South Side High School to take advantage of the market
for marijuana, a low-cost drug.
Ponder and Ricky Neaville occasionally used
drugs, too, Neaville’s uncle said.
The following letter to the editor appeared in the Fort
Wayne, Indiana, Journal Gazette, April 24, 1998, p. 8A:
POLICE DO NOTHING TO SOLVE MURDERS
My son and his best friend, Gregory K. Ponder, were
victims of a homicide in December 1994. This is Victims Awareness Week, and I felt compelled to voice my
concerns.
The homicides took place at a drug house. My dad
had reported this house at least six times. Yet the detectives say it was only reported once and that was on the
prior residents.
Although the newspaper reports say drugs were
found in the home the night of the murders, the homeowners, who were present at the time of the shooting,
were not arrested for the drugs. We were told by the de-
105
tectives that a judge said they could not prove who the
drugs belonged to. We were even shown a picture of the
drugs that were found.
Getting information from the detectives is next to
impossible. We have made numerous calls that go unreturned. We have met with the detectives on several occasions and we come away with confusion, mistrust and
doubts about the Fort Wayne detectives.
Ricky’s girlfriend was not interviewed until we questioned why not. Some of his closest friends have never
been interviewed. At one meeting we were told they
knew who was responsible and that it was two or possibly
three people, yet at a later meeting the detectives denied
it. We were also told the detectives didn’t care how we
felt. We were even asked to get a picture and address of a
possible suspect. Wouldn't that put me in danger?
At our last meeting we were told they would try to
get it aired on Crimestoppers. That was a month ago and
it’s still not on. My wife responded to a “Christmas
Wish” on WAJI and the radio station was responsible for
getting it on Crimestoppers in 1996.
We would like to put up a reward for information
leading to the arrest of the person or persons responsible
for this crime. However, we were discouraged by the detectives because they think they will get numerous unwarranted leads.
As victims of this horrible crime, we just want answers. Our only hope is that someone knows something
and will come forward so we can finally have peace.
Ricky is gone but never forgotten. His son was born
three months after his untimely death. We hope when
Little Ricky asks questions about his daddy, we will
have the answers to give him.

The following obituary is from an unknown newspaper
dated Thursday, October 19, 1911:
OBITUARY
Dies From Effects of Fall
Wm. Curry, a former resident of Sims, died Saturday
afternoon at Centralia from the effects of injuries received in a fall two hours previous. Curry was employed at a lumber yard in Centralia and when injured
was standing on a scaffold handing down lumber from
an upper story of a building in which it was stored. It is
thought the scaffold broke and threw him to the ground,
a distance of twelve feet. He struck the ground on his
head and shoulders, breaking an arm and crushing his
skull. He at first did not seem badly injured and was able
to walk to the office of a physician who set the broken
arm. He soon complained of a severe pain in his shoulders and head and became so sick that he was taken
home on a cot where he died in a couple of hours. The
body was brought to the old home of the deceased at
Sims on Monday where the funeral was held monday
afternoon.
The deceased was about 30 years of age, married
and had two children. The widow is a daughter of
Mahlon Smith, of Sims. Mr. Curry and family had just
moved to Centralia, two weeks prior to his death, from
Sims where he had resided for some time. The stricken
family have the sympathy of their many friends in
Wayne County.
The following obituary notice was prepared by Rev.
A. H. Bennett and given us for publication.
William W. Curry was born in Big Mound Township, Ill., Feb. 5th 1885 and died at Centralia Oct. 14,
1911. His death was sudden, caused by falling from a
scaffold at a lumber pile. It was a great shock to all of
his friends. He was in good health and of a happy disposition. He was in his 27th year. He was the son-in-law of
Rev. Mahlon Smith, of Sims. The deceased was a good
man, a good citizen, a good husband and a good father.
He was a good boy from his youth up. He spent his boyhood days in Richland community, but had lived several
years in Sims. He had been in Centralia only two weeks.
He was married February 17, 1911 to Miss Gussie
Smith. Two children were born—John Smith Curry
and Morris June Curry. He was converted January 1906
and joined the Christian church at Sims under the labor
of Elder A. H. Bennett, who also baptized him, May
20th 1906. Mr. Curry was of a sunny disposition and
made many friends and few if any enemies. He will be
greatly missed by the church and community. A large
crowd attended the funeral. People of all denominations
and of the world loved him. He leaves father and
mother, two sisters, many relatives and a host of friends.
Funeral by the writer assisted by Elder J. B. Littell, of
the Christian church, and Elder C. H. Bright of the Baptist church. Interment at the Cincinnati cemetery. The
deceased was a member of the I. O. O. F. Lodge at Sims
and the members of that order had charge of the funeral

above in my own writing and without any apparent erasures and changes. I also know the date of their birth
from that two of my own children were born nearly the
same time and by comparison of these dates and with
what assistance my memory gives one I feel entirely
confident the dates are correct as above given.”
There is an affidavit of William E. Neavill, age 39, of
Boyleston, Wayne County, IL on Jan. 21, 1886:
“I also know that the said Children were never under the
care or maintenance of the widow of Silas R. Williamson after his death. They remained in the family of my
father, James Neavill and maintained by him until he
died and after his death they continued to reside with my
mother and myself, until they were grown and married. I
don’t think either of the children ever lived with their
father after his second marriage, and know that they
never lived with nor were maintained by their stepmother after said Silas R. Williamson’s death.”

Jobe was born 09 Apr 1873 and died 22 Apr 1936. I’m not
sure if Maudie is actually the daughter of George and Martha
(Williamson) Treat. The marriage book compiled by Betty
Beeson lists Maudie’s parents as George Treat and Martha
Whitamore. I believe Whitamore is a transcription error
and should actually read Williamson. Also, Maudie’s cousin,
Rosa Williamson, married George Monroe who was Jobe
Monroe’s brother. Maudie and Jobe Monroe are buried in

The following is from History of Effingham County, Illinois, O.L Baskin & Co., Historical Publishers, Chicago, 1883:
The year 1830 brought a few more settlers to the township [Jackson Township], among whom were Jesse
White, Alfred Warren, Henry P. Bailey, George and
Enoch Neaville, Micajah Davidson and James Turner.
White was from Tennessee, and was a single man when
he came. He married soon after, however, and settled
down on the river, but afterward moved out on the prairie. Bailey was also from Tennessee, and was the first
Sheriff of the county. He still has quite a number of
descendants in this and the surrounding townships.
Neaville was a Frenchman, and came from Alabama.
George, who was the father of Enoch, moved to Missouri, and finally died on the Gasconade River. Enoch

(daughter of Andrew Barkley and Hannah Walker) 1875.
The following is from Biographical and Historical
Memoirs of Eastern Arkansas, Chicago: Goodspeed Publishers, 1890, p. 215:
John [sic] A. Neavill, Searcy, Ark. There are many citizens represented within the pages of this volume, but
none more deserving of mention than Mr. Neavill, who
is not only one of the pioneers of the county, but is universally respected by all who know him.
He was born in Jackson County, Ala., in 1826, and
was the eldest in a family of nine children, born to the
union of Elihu and Margaret (Jones) Neavill, the father
a native of Alabama, and the mother of North Carolina.
Elihu Neavill was married in his native State, in
about 1825, settled on a claim and followed agricultural
pursuits there until 1844, when he came to White
County, Ark. He settled near where his son James A.
now resides, entered land, erected a tanyard, and in connection carried on farming and the tannery business until his death, which occurred April 17, 1888. He was a
120
resident of the county for over forty years, and had the
esteem and respect of all. He was in the Florida War,
was orderly-sergeant and was in service twelve months.
He was of French descent, and the mother of ScotchIrish.
Of their family the following children are the only
ones living: James A. (subject), Elijah (married and resides in Cane Township), William H. (married, and is
the marshal of Searcy) and Mary (now Mrs. F. W.
Smith, of Gray Township).
James A. Neavill was early taught the rudiments of
farming, and received his education in the subscription
schools of Alabama and White County, Ark. He was
eighteen years of age when he came to Arkansas, and he
was employed for a number of years in assisting his father in clearing up the farm. After this he began farming
for himself near where he now resides. He was married
in White County, Ark., in 1853, to Miss Smith, a native
of Mississippi, who bore him two living children: John
and William B. The latter is married and resides in Gray
Township. Another child, Mary, was the wife of John
Gilliam, and died August 9, 1884.
Mrs. Neavill died in 1856, and Mr. Neavill selected
his second wife in the person of Mrs. Mary (Barkley)
Descendants of Elihu Neaville
Britt, widow of Mr. Davis Britt, a native of Middle
Tennessee, and the daughter of Andrew and Hannah C.
(Walker) Barkley. The father was a native of Tennessee, and his ancestors were the earliest settlers of that
State. He followed agricultural pursuits and opened up a
large tract of land. His death occurred in 1862. The
mother was a native of North Carolina, and died in Tennessee, Rutherford County, in 1887, at the advanced age
of ninety years.
To Mr. and Mrs. Neavill was born one child: Andrew A.
After his marriage, which occurred in 1875, Mr.
Neavill moved to his present residence, and is now the
owner of a good farm of 125 acres, with about seventy
acres under cultivation. He is active in politics, and
votes with the Democratic party. He is a member of the
Agricultural Wheel, takes an active interest in educational matters, and has been a member of the school
board. He has also filled the position of constable of his
township, and in a highly satisfactory manner.
Mrs. Neavill is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.
Grandfather Neavill was in the War of 1812, and
was at the battle of New Orleans with Gen. Jackson.
Mr. Neavill (subject of this sketch), came to Arkansas in 1844, and can hardly realize that it is the same
country now, on account of the many and rapid changes
made since that time. Searcy was in the woods, and
there were but three houses between that town and
Beebe. Off the main traveled roads there were no settlements, and Mr. Neavill has killed many a deer on land
now under cultivation, at a distance of 175 yards. He
still has in his possession his trusty gun.
During the war he was with Gen. Price, in his raid
through Missouri, and enlisted in Capt. Black’s company, participating in the following battles: Pilot Knob,
Ironton, Newtonia, Blue Gap, etc. He was with Gen.
Price until reaching Fayetteville, Ark., when he returned to White County.

My great grandfather bought a large cemetery plot for
approx 50 gravesites at Gum Springs (apparently this
was near Grey Township because I always heard it was
near “Papa’s” old home place). About 20 descendants
are buried there, including my mother Carol. Papa (Jim
Neaville 1876–1964) was the organizer and president of
The First Bank of Griffithville, the oldest bank in White

Frank W. Smith, Searcy, Ark. Another pioneer settler of
the county, and a much-respected citizen is the above-
122
Descendants of Elihu Neaville
mentioned gentleman who came to White County, Ark.,
in 1853, from Mississippi. He was born in Fayette
County, Miss., in 1833, and was the eighth in a family of
nine children, the result of the union of John and
Rebecca Smith, natives of Tennessee. The father was a
planter, and in connection carried on merchandising at
Oxford, Fayette County, Miss. In 1830 he moved to
Benton County, Ark., remaining there a short time, and
then returned to Mississippi in 1831, making that his
home until his death which occurred at Oxford, Miss., in
1844.
His widow survived him many years, came to
White County in 1853, and there her death occurred in
the fall of that year.
Their family consisted of the following children:
Harrison (married, and a farmer of De Soto County,
Miss.), Benjamin (married, and resides in Gray Township), Margaret (wife of William Graves, of Howard
County, Ark.), Catherine (died in White County, Ark., in
1889; she was the wife of John Boggs), Thomas (married and resides in Gray Township), William (died in
White County in 1871), John (married and resides in
Gray Township), Frank W. and Mary (wife of James
Neavill; she died in 1858). The father of these children
participated in the War of 1812.
Frank W. Smith’s youth in growing up was passed
in attending to duties about the home place, and in the
subscription schools of Mississippi. He commenced
farming for himself in White County, Ark., at the age of
twenty-one, and in 1855, in partnership with his brother,
John, purchased 160 acres of land which he improved.
Later the brothers separated, each doing for himself.
F. W. Smith has erected all the buildings, and has
added to his farm from time to time until he is now the
owner of 400 acres, with 150 under cultivation, and 100
acres or more in pasture. He does mixed farming, raises
corn and cotton and also considerable horses and cattle,
and is one of the wide-awake farmers of the county.
He enlisted in the army at Searcy in 1862, and for
twelve months was in Capt. Davis’ company, Gen.
McRae’s regiment. He participated in several skirmishes and later went into the State troops, where he re-
mained but a short time. At the close of the service he
returned to the farm.
He was married in White County in 1855 to Miss
Mary L. Neavill, a native of Alabama, and the daughter
of Elihu and Margaret (Jones) Neavill, natives of Alabama. Mr. and Mrs. Neavill came to White County in
1844, settled in Gray Township, and he was one of the
influential men of the county, being treasurer of the
same one term. His death occurred in 1852 and the
mother’s in 1888.
After marriage Mr. Smith settled where he now resides, and there he has since remained. Although not
very active in politics he votes with the Democratic
party; is a member of the Agricultural Wheel, of which
organization he was steward, and he and wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. To this
union two living children were born: Sarah and Kirby
(of which Kirby is married and resides with his father).
Mr. Smith came to this county when all was wild
and unbroken, and when game was in abundance. Now
fine farms cover the country, and everything is in a prosperous condition. He is practically a self-made man;
having started with little he is now very comfortably
fixed, and can pass the remainder of his life in ease.

Sarah Frances Neavill (daughter of Elihu and Margaret
[Jones] Neaville) was born about 1843. She married Robert
Wesley Chrisp (son of William Chrisp and Mary J. Elder)
20 Jan 1859 in White County, Arkansas. The following is
from Biographical and Historical Memoirs of Eastern
Arkansas. Chicago: Goodspeed Publishers, 1890, p. 144:
R. W. Chrisp, farmer, Searcy, Ark. This prominent agriculturist owes his nativity to Gibson County, Tenn.,
where his birth occurred in 1835, and is the ninth of seventeen children born to the union of William and Mary
J. (Elder) Chrisp, natives of the Old Dominion. The
father was a tiller of the soil, and moved to Rutherford
County, Tenn., entered land, and there remained until
1831. He then settled in Gibson County, Tenn., and
made that county his home until his death, which
occurred in 1863. He was in the War of 1812, and took
quite an active part in politics. His wife died in Searcy in
October, 1884.
Of their family the following children are now living: R. W., Frances W. (now Mrs. Lane, of Gibson
County, Tenn.), Horace (married, and resides in Higginson Township) and L. M. (who is married, and resides
on a farm in the last-named township). One son, John
W., enlisted in the army from Gibson County, Tenn.,
was Gen. Pillow’s commissary, and died of pneumonia
in 1863, at Memphis, Tenn. Another son, William B.,
was a member of the One Hundred and Eleventh Tennessee Infantry, and after the war was a cotton factor of
Memphis. His death occurred in 1870. Two other sons,
Henry and Starks, were in Gen. Forrest’s cavalry, and
both died in 1883.
R. W. Chrisp was early taught the duties of farm
life, and received his education in the subscription
schools of Tennessee. In 1857 he came to White County,
Ark., then being a single man, and taught the Gum
Spring schools during 1858-59. He was married in
White County in the last-named year, to Miss Sarah F.
Neavill, a native of Jackson County, Ala., and the
daughter of Elihu and Margaret (Jones) Neavill, natives
of Alabama. Her father was in the Florida War, came to
White County in 1844, and was for many years engaged
in farming and in the tannery business, becoming quite
wealthy. His death occurred in 1851 and the mother’s in
1887. They resided in White County for over forty
years.
After marriage Mr. Chrisp settled in Gray Township on a timber tract of land, which he rented for a few
years, and then, in 1867, purchased 240 acres, partly improved. This he sold, and bought forty acres in the timber which he immediately commenced clearing,
erecting buildings, and added to this land from time to
time until he now has 280 acres, with 100 acres under
cultivation, besides a home farm of twenty acres just
outside the corporation.
Mr. Chrisp lost his excellent wife, October 9, 1887.
The result of this union was the birth of the following
children: William H. (married, and resides on the subject’s farm), Vinnie R. (at home, attending Galway College), James Everett, Henry Beecher and Benjamin
Clark.
July 4, 1861, Mr. Chrisp was elected second lieutenant of Company K, but held first position in the Seventh Arkansas Infantry, commanded by Robert Shaver.
He was in the battle of Shiloh, after which the company
was reorganized, and he came to Searcy to recruit for
the Trans-Mississippi Department. He then entered the
ranks as private in the cavalry, and was temporarily promoted to the rank of lieutenant-colonel in front of Helena. He was in the Missouri raid, participated in the
battles of Pilot Knob, Ironton, Jefferson City, Newtonia
and Mine Creek.
He returned to White County, Ark., from Fayetteville, and engaged in farming, but later was occupied
for about a year in merchandising in Searcy. He has
taken an active part in politics, and although originally a
Whig, votes with the Democratic party. He has taken an
active interest in schools and has been a member of the
school board for twenty years. In 1883 he was sergeantat-arms for the State of Arkansas. He received the nomination for representative, but was declared disfranchised
in the reconstruction days. Mr. Chrisp is a member of
Searcy Lodge No. 49, A. F. & A. M., and is also a member of Tillman Lodge No. 19. He has been Worshipful
Master of Searcy Lodge, and has held office in Chapter.
He is practically a self-made man and all his property is
the result of his own industry. Although fifty-five years
of age he has never drank a drop of liquor.

JAMES EVERETT CHRISP
James Everett Chrisp (son of Robert Wesley and Sarah
[Neavill] Chrisp) was born 08 May 1873 in White County,
Arkansas, and died 29 Oct 1921. He married Lillian Foulkes
14 Feb 1912 in Little Rock, Arkansas.
The following is from A Centennial History of Arkansas
(edited by Dallas T. Herndon, the Director of the Dept. of
Archives & History, published by The S. J. Clarke Publishing
Co., Chicago-Little Rock, 1922):
James Everett Chrisp filled the office of circuit clerk &
recorder in Little Rock for nearly 3 years, his duties
being discharged with marked capability, promptness &
fidelity, until death ended his labors on Oct. 29, 1921.
He was born on a farm in White Co., AR, May 8, 1873,
and was a representative of an old family of English
lineage.
His great-grandfather, Jock Chrisp, was born in
London, England, and was a cooper by trade. Coming to
Amer., he served as a soldier in the Continental army
during the Revolutionary war, thus aiding in winning independence for the nation. He lost a leg in the battle of
Bemis Heights. His son, William Chrisp, the grandfather of James Everett Chrisp, born in VA, was a member of the Tenth VA Calvary in the War of 1812 & was
stationed at Norfolk, VA. He died at the age of 76. He
had a family of 9 sons & 8 daughters & 7 of the sons
were in the Confederate army & 6 lived to return home.
The same military spirit was evidenced by James E.
Chrisp at the time of the Spanish-American war in his
attempt to get into the army, although he was not successful in the attempt.
His father, Robert Wesley Chrisp, was born Mar. 7,
1835, in Gibson Co., TN, and at the age of 18 years he became a resident of White Co., AR, where he still makes
his home. He has devoted his life largely to the occupation of farming, carefully tilling the soil as the years have
gone by & thus providing for the support of his family.
His military service covered 4 years in the 7th AR Infantry during the Civil War, in which he rose to the rank of
lieutenant colonel, then was transferred to the Trans-Mississippi dept. to organize the same. He was with General
Price on the Missouri raid, participating in the battles of
Shiloh, Corinth, Helena, Polk Farm, Pilot Knob & others.
His brother, James Chrisp, served with the Texas Calvary
& died during the war; his brother John was quartermaster with General Pillow; and another brother, Horace, was
in the 12th Tenn. Regiment. Stark, Henry & Luther
Chrisp were with General Forrest. Robert Wesley
125
Chrisp was always given his his political allegiance to
the democratic party & at all times he was loyal to the interests of the state, supporting all measures & plans for
the general good. He married Sarah Frances Neavill, a
native son of AL, and they became the parents of 15 children, 8 of whom, 7 sons & a daughter, reached adult age,
while 3 sons & 1 daughter are living.
James E. Chrisp, who was the 10th in order of birth
in the family, spent his youthful days on the home farm,
with the usual experiences of the farm bred boy. He began his education in the country schools & also spent
one session as a student in Searcy College. He early
took up the occupation of farming & also gave considerable time to the profession of teaching, these 2 vocations
dividing his interests & his activities until he was called
to public office. It was on the 1st of Jan., 1919, that he
entered upon the duties of his position as circuit clerk &
recorder for a term of 2 years & on the expiration of that
period he was reelected for the succeeding term of 2
years, so that his incumbency would have continued him
in the position until he had completed 4 years service in
that connection. He always gave his political support to
the democratic party & at all times kept thoroughly informed concerning its issues & its attitude upon vital
questions. The death of Mr. Chrisp on Oct. 29, 1921,
was a great loss to his family, his friends & the county
which he so acceptably served. The governor of AR has
appointed Mr. Chrisp’s widow to fill out his unexpired
term as circuit clerk of Pulaski Co.
On the 14th of Feb., 1912, in Little Rock, Mr.
Chrisp was married to Miss Lillian Foulkes, who was
born in White Co., AR in 1878. He was highly esteemed
in Little Rock, as is his wife, and they gained many
friends. Mr. Chrisp was a member of the Baptist church
to which his wife also belongs, and Mr. Chrisp was a
Scottish Rite Mason & member of the Mystic Rite Mason & a member of the Mystic Shrine, loyally following
the teachings & purposes of the craft. His life was at all
times actuated by high & honorable principles & those
who knew him esteemed him greatly for his sterling
worth & devotion to duty whether of a public or private
nature.

C.1816–????
James Neavill (son of George and Elizabeth [Ward]
Neaville) was born about 1816 in Alabama. He married Indiana Neavill? sometime before 1838. Indiana was born about
1815 and died ????.
It is probable that James’ wife, Indiana, was the daughter
of Enoch Neaville of Wayne County, Illinois (see p. 3).
Enoch was probably the brother of James’ father, George
Neaville (see p. 119). There are a number of facts which
seem to support this:
1. James and Indiana first appear on the 1840 Wayne
County, Illinois, census. Why was James in Wayne
County when his family lived in Effingham County? I
suspect James moved to Wayne County to help Enoch
with the family farm (Enoch was over seventy years old
and probably needed the help) and while there, courted
and married Indiana.
2. James and Indiana named their first two children Edith
and Enoch (or after Indiana’s parents if this theory is
correct).
3. There is a Jemima Neavill shown living with James and
Indiana on the 1850 Effingham County census. Enoch
and Edith Neaville had a daughter named Jemima (who
would have been Indiana’s sister if this theory is
correct).
4. On the 1860 census for Marion County, Illinois, there is
a Martha Williamson shown living with James and Indiana. Martha was the daughter of Silas and Nancy
(Neavill) Williamson. Nancy was one of Enoch’s
daughters (and Indiana’s sister if this theory is correct).
5. On William Elisha Neavill’s (James’ son) death certificate, it says William’s mother’s maiden name was
Neavill.
However there are also some things about this theory
which need to be explained. Most of the census records give
Indiana’s place of birth as Indiana. I have found nothing to
indicate that Enoch and Edith were ever in Indiana (of
course, that doesn’t mean they never were in Indiana. They
could have been visiting people or passing through Indiana
when Indiana was born. There was a James Neaville (see
p. 170) living in Hendricks County, Indiana, who may have
been one of Enoch’s children from his previous marriage to
Bersheba Keeney?. There were also several Neavills living
in Jefferson County, Indiana around this time—Samuel
Neavill (see p. 179) was one of these Jefferson County
Neavills).
Another discrepancy is that Indiana’s approximate birth
year is 1815, which is earlier than Enoch and Edith’s marriage on 26 Feb 1816. Of course, since I’ve found nothing to
give her actual birthdate, Indiana could have been born later
in 1816 or she could have been conceived before Enoch and
Edith were married—certainly possible although this had
more stigma attached to it in the early 19th century than it
does now and so was a rarer event than it is now. Or, Indiana
could have been a child of Enoch’s first marriage to
Barsheba. I don’t know when Barsheba died, presumably
before 1816 when Enoch married Edith. An alternative theory would be that Indiana was the adopted child of Enoch and
Edith, or she may have been a daughter from a previous marriage/relationship of Edith.

1917 in Gilmore Township, Effingham County, Illinois. She
married Duncan Stiffler 05 Jan 1860 in Effingham County,
Illinois. Mary Ann’s death certificate lists the year of her
birth as 1834, however the 1850 census for Effingham
County lists Mary Ann’s age as 14 which would place her
year of birth at 1835 or 1836. Also, since Mary Ann’s brother,
James, was born 08 Aug 1834, it seems unlikely that Mary
Ann would have been born two months later. Mary Ann’s
death certificate lists the cause of her death as “Cerebral
Hemorrhage.”

OTHER BRANCHES
There were a few other families living in Illinois and Indiana
that may or may not be related to the Neaveill family. These
families are discussed in the following chapters.
Chapter 19 covers James Neaville who may have been a
son of Enoch Neaville (see p. 3) from his first wife Barsheba
Keeney?.
Chapter 20 looks at the Neaville families that lived in Jo
Daviess County, Illinois: brothers Alexander and John
Neaville, as well as brothers Ephraim and Enoch Neavill,
(who were probably brothers—or cousins—of Alexander and
John). These may have been children of Enoch Neaville (see
p. 3) from his first wife Barsheba Keeney?
Chapter 21 traces the descendants of Samuel Neavill
who lived in Jefferson County, Indiana, and later moved to
Marion County, Illinois. No connection has been discovered
between this family and the Neaveill family other than them
living in the same geographic area.

? N E AV I L L E
The title of this chapter has a question mark because it is
unknown who the father of the following Neavilles are. It is
possible that Enoch Neaville (see p. 3) was their father as the
dates and places would be right not to mention the name
Enoch appearing a couple of times in this line. Though it may
also be possible that their father was George Neaville (see
p. 119). Both Enoch and George had children from previous
marriages who are unnaccounted for, so these children may
very well be theirs. Alexander and John Neaville were defi-
nitely brothers. Ephraim and his brother, Enoch, may have
been brothers to Alexander and John. Ephraim and Enoch
probably were not the sons of George Neaville since George
already had a son named Enoch (see p. 127).

CEMETER Y LOCATIONS
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) maintains an
online database called the Geographic Names Information
System (GNIS) which can be accessed on the World Wide
Web at:
http://www-nmd.usgs.gov/www/gnis/gnisform.html
This database contains information on nearly 2 million physical and cultural geographic features in the United States, including cemeteries.
The maps on the following pages were produced by the
GNIS database. Each page shows two images: The upper
image shows the general location of the cemetery in relation
to cities, towns, and main roads. The lower image zooms in
on the cemetery showing its location in detail. At the top of
190
each page is the name of the cemetery, its general location,
followed by a list of the names of those buried there.
Another useful tool for finding these locations, epecially
cemeteries located in rural areas, is the Illinois Atlas & Gazetteer: Topographical Maps of the Entire State. This Atlas
shows every back road in the state of Illinois, not to mention
a lot of other useful information such as campgrounds, historic sites, museums, and scenic drives. The Illinois Atlas &
Gazetteer can be purchased for about $10.00. There are also
versions available for other states. They are published by:
