    Notes:

    Poll taken Jul 24, 1758, for Fred Co., listed in list for Col Martin in G.W. election.

    According to Wigfield Family, he had two marriages, Hannah Symes and Mary Gibbs; children given without reference to which mother.
    From "Wigfield,": As will be seen from the will of George Neavill, which follows, the testator makes a bequest of 20 pounds "to my grandson John Barnett (son of James Barnett)" which seems to indicate that George Neavill had another daughteo had married James Barnett but was then deceased. If this was the case, George Neavill had nine daughters. He had no sons.
    George Neavill was a miller, and as will be noted in his will, he gave his mill, which he described as being located on Cedar Run, to his wife Mary, and to his sons-in-law, John Rosser, Solomon Jones, Ambrose Barnett and James Hathaway, "as nts in Common and not as Joint Tenants."

    In "Water Powered Mills of Fauquier County, Virginia," by Lee Moffett, it is stated on page 154, that the February Court 1768 (Minute Book 1764-1768, p 349) George Neavil petitioned for leave to build a water mill, stating that he owned onee of Cedar Run and required the opposite side in order to carry out his project.

    The minutes of the May Court 1769 (Minute Report 1768-1772, p 72) records the report of the jury "on the acre of land petitioned... proceeded to value the said acre of land therein mentioned after the same was laid off in our view by the surr of the said County and do on our oaths value.... at twenty shillings current money and do estimate the damage the said Churchill may sustain by the flowing of the back water occasioned by the said Neavill erecting a mill on the land proposed, to twenty shillings..."
    The above referenced book continues on p 154:
    "The mill has been restored by the Warrenton Antiquarian Society as a memorial to the early settlers of Fauquier County. It is on Route 670, near Auburn. The mill was at the intersection of the Old Carolina Road and the Dumfries-Winchester d. Neavil had an Ordinary in his nearby home, and George Washington at the age of 16, spent the night of March 11, 1748 there. Much later, this former Iroquois Indian trail, came to be known as Rogues Road because many cattle thieves passed this way. English prisoners from the battle of Saratoga went by here on their way to prison in Charlottsville. "Mad Anthony" Wayne and his army went through Auburn on their way to the Battle of Yorktown."
    "Fauquier During the Proprietorship" by H.C. Groomes (1927) and reprinted by Regional Publishing Co, Baltimore (1969) states:
    "Of the Ordinaries within the territory of Fauquier, the most important was George Neavil's situated on Cedar Run where the Carolina Road was intersected by the Dumfries Road. Neavil's appears to have been a place of public entertainment asly as 1748 when George William Fairfax and George Washington spent the night at 'Mr. George Neavil's in Prince Willliam County' on their way from Belvoir to the Valley. On the organization of Fauquier in 1759, the records of the court show that in that year, Neavil applied for a license to keep an Ordinary and that his license was renewed in 1761 and again in 1770. He died in 1774, but the Ordinary continued by his widow, Mary Neavil, who took a license in her own name the following year. After her death the place, still known as Neavil's, was conducted by a son-in-law, Ambrose Barnett, who obtained licenses in 1778 and 1780 and again in 1792. "
    Quoting further from the book referenced above:
    "...the Moravian Church...had sent John Frederick Reichel from Bethlehem, Pa., in May 1780 to visit the congregation at Salem in North Carolina. He went and came by the Carolina Road, and of his return journey, after crossing into Fauquier C, he says, 'we had a very bad stony road, especially in the place known as Devil's Race Ground where we saw rock enough. About five o'clock we passed the place where Germantown once stood, but little of it is now to be seen.' At sunrise on the following day, 'we passed Capt. Nevill's' and so by Goose Creek and Noland's Ferry on the Potomac back to Pennsylvania.
    "The next traveller by the Carolina Road whose journal survives was Dr. Johann David Schoeph, a German scientist who in 1784 entered Fauquier by the old Shenandoah Hunting Path and passed the night at the house of one 'Capt. B.H.' (probably Bamin Harrison) below Cedar Run. He discourses pleasantly on the entertainment offered the traveller a public and private houses. Of the Ordinaries, as the wayside inns were called, he says:
    'It is not always the custom to hang shields before taverns, but they are easily identified by the great number of miscellaneous papers and advertisements with which the walls and doors of these public houses are plaistered: generally, the me of such bills are to be seen on a house, the better it will be. In this way, the traveller is afforded a many sided entertainment and can inform himself as to where the taxes are heavy, where wives have run away, horses have been stolen, or the new Doctor has settled...Along the chief roads these ordinaries are commodious enough when there not too many quests, but coffee, ham and eggs are commonly the sole entertainment. Ham is the great delicacy to the Virginian.'
    "He then compares such resorts with private houses where lodging could be had for pay:
    "We spent a night at a plantation where, although no tavern is kept, the traveller is entertained for pay. There are disadvantages about this sort of inn, but on the one hand the proprietor escapes the payment of a liquor license and the troue of catering to a crowd of idlers, and on the other hand the guest must answer only a few times the usual questions as to where he is going, where he came from, and what his business is.'
    "that the ordinary also had its disavantages may be gathered from the chronicle of an English lady who journeyed through the country a few years after Dr. Schroph, and who supplements his description of the road taverns:
    "We scarcely pass ten to twenty miles,' she says, 'without seeing an ordinary, as they call inns in this country. They all resemble one another, having a porch in front, the length of the house, almost covered with hand bills: they have no n but take their name from the person that keeps the house, who is often a man consequence; for the profession of an inn keeper is far more respected in America than in England. Instead of supplying their guests as soon as they arrive, they have made everybody corform to one hour for the different meals. There are always several beds in every room and strangers are obliged to sleep together. The sheets are mostly brown and seldom changed.'"
    George Neavill seems to have been an astute and prosperous planter, miller and ordinary keeper. Not only was he a man of substance but also he was a man of high standing in his community as evidenced by his selection as a member of the Vestrf Hamilton Parish. During his term as a Vestryman, he was called upon to cope with a disagreeable problem as set forth in the book referred to above.
    "The first minister of Hamilton was Rev. James Keith, of Peterhead, Scotland... He died in 1751 and Bishop Meade says 'from all that I can clearn of him, he was a worthy man.'
    "In the choise of Mr. Keith's successor the Vestry of Hamilton was less fortunate, as the next incumbent, the Rev John Brunskill, Jr., became notorious for evil living and brought open reproach on the Church throughout the colony. He assumeds carge of the Parish before July 1753, and seems almost immediately to have given rein to his dissolute propensities,....till at length the church-wardens and gentlemen of the Vestry, in justice to themselves & in Pity to the unhappy Parishioners drew up a complaint, etc.
    "In this complaint the Vestry charged their minister with 'divers immoralities such as profane swearing, drunkenness, and immodest actions.'"
    A hearing on the charges made in the complaint was held by the Council 19 May 1757, at which was rpesent the Royal Governor Dinwiddle. It was the unanimous opinion of the Council that "every fact he (the defendant) was charged with had been fly proved; that he was a scandal to his profession and ought to be disqualified from ever exercising the office of a clergyman."
    Based upon the findings of the Council the Governor dismissed Rev Brunskill which doubtless was a great releif to George Neavill and his fellow members of the Vestry.
    George Neavill died in Fauquier Co, VA somtime after making his will on 26 Feb 1774 and 27 Jun of the same year, when the will was admitted to probate by the Fauquier Co, Va Court where it is recorded in Will Book 1, p 250. His will is quoten full (see "Will Notes")


    Property:
    Joseph Bohannon and Elizabeth Neville probably moved to Prince William County shortly after the birth of their son William in 1730. On 03 June 1730, George Neville (Neavil) obtained a warrant for 275 acres of land in Prince William County that was surveyed for him on 31 August 1730. It adjoined the Kettle Run tract of Colonel Carter and lands of William Hackney, Colonel Page, Baldwin and Mr. Debut. George Neville was assignee of William Owen for 181 acres in Prince William County on the South Fork of Bull Run, Catlet's Branch, Bull Run Mountain, drains of Broad Run and the north end of Mother Leather Coat Mountain. The tract had been
    warranted to Owen on 12 July 1739 and surveyed on 06 March 1739/40. It adjoined land of John Glasscock.

    On 31 October 1743 George Neville (Neavil) had 183 acres in Prince William County surveyed for him. The tract was on Mother Leather Coat Mountain on Catlet's Branch and adjoined his own land. The land on Broad Run and Mother Leather Coat Mountain fell into Fauquier County when it was formed from Prince William County in 1759. A warrant for land in that location, dated 25 February 1764, which was surveyed on 12 March 1770 for Mr. Yelverton Peyton, adjoined land of Solomon Jones which had been taken up by Captain Neville

    It [Geo. Neavill's ordinary] is historically preserved in General George Washington's Journal under the date of Mary 1748: "Traveled this day forty miles to Mr. George Neavill's in Prince William County."


    Property:
    The exact date of the establishment of Neavill's Ordinary is not known, but the first license for George Neavill to keep on Ordinary at his home in Auburn was issued before 1759 by the Fauquier Court. It was located at the cross roads of Falmouth, Dumfries and the Carolina, known as the "Rouge's Road" and the "Shenandoah Hunting Path." Douglas Freeman the historian said, "Already a land owner of station, Neavill was a speculator and planter..." George Neavill's wife took a license in her name after his death in 1774.

    Neavill's Ordianry then was managed by Mary Neavill with the help of her son-in-law, Ambrose Barnett, who had married Judith Neavill, Mary's youngest daughter. Ambrose Barnett, a patriot during the Revolutionary War, maintained the ordinary until 1792 and other Barnetts continued the business until 1825. The historic building stood until 1926. It is historically preserved in General George Washington's Journal under the date of Mary 1748: "Traveled this day forty miles to Mr. George Neavill's in Prince William County."
