neufville

[Paul Tucker]

I am interested in Jacob Neufville, of The Grove, Lymington, Southampton (Hampshire) and of Manchioneal, Jamaica. He was born between 1772 and 1775, and died in Manchioneal in 1817. He married Sybella Phoebe Sutherland and had four daughters and a son, that I am aware of. Does anyone know of the Neufville family? I suspect it it of Huguenot origin.
Thanks

Hi Paul
Well I guess that it is true that if you work at this long enough almost
anything can surface.....I have been researching the entire group which came
over to Jamaica/Manchioneal from Antigua and Jacob Neufville and family are
all part and parcel...Please contact me directly for substantial information

Hi Paul,
I cannot help you with Neufville search but two questions
1. Do you know what became of Marylyn Neufville the sprinter of the 60's she
gave so much pride when she refused to be trapped into performing for
Britain.
2. What other sources are there where you can genealogical search by surname
esp. for Caribbean people.

Did you find a father for Jacob? I see a family in Antigua with name given as Newfiele and with 3 surviving sons Josiah, Isaac and Jacob and 1 daughter Jane all born between 1721 and 1733. A number of other siblings died young. My interest is in a son of Josiah named Thomas who went to Univ of Edin and obtained a Med Degree in 1776. I think this is the same family as the Jacob who married Sibella Phoebe Sutherland but can't find the connection to the correct brother .

Thanks
Robert

Hello Paul;

Im not sure but I think you are posting from Soc Gen West Indies and we
have a gateway to that older newsgroup.

I have been researching the Neufvilles, Codringtons, Pantons and a
variety of other associated families who ended up with properties in
eastern Jamaica. Most of them can be traced reliably from the Leeward
Islands and some start at the earliest dates with some kind of
plantation related activity on Barbados.

The Neufvilles took several parcels of land in the Manchioneal District
circa 1738-45 via a settlement program put in place to reinvigorate the
east and northeast areas of Jamaica. Most of this land had been granted
in vast parcels after conquest and most were never developed or were
grossly mismanaged. Essentially there was not enough European population
to ensure the security of the area spanning St George to Hector's River
from the French or the Maroons. The original intent was to encourage
white settlement of tradesmen and their families by granting a set
acreage per proprietor at no cost, The proviso was they must serve in
the Militia and after a set number of years would have to pay regular
duties etc. I have a variety of documents pertinent to the coming and
going of various Neufvilles and had traced Jacob and his mercantile
interest to The Grove but wanted to know more about his commercial
interest..just haven't had time. My family have several blood ties to
the Neufvilles which died out in the early 1800's

Id be interested in sharing and comparing data. If you like that idea
please contact me via cmcod90=gmail.com (where - equals @)

Regarding Thomas and the others. There is fragmentary material in
History of Antigua which helps confirm who moved from Antigua and who
may have not. The Jamaica Almanacs are helpful as well. I have to review
everything to even begin to hash it out...my memory dim on this
