About 1855 Robert and Hannah came west. The trip from Ohio/Indiana was made by canal boat and then by train to Dubuque, Iowa. The rest of their journey to Buchanan County was by team. Sevila's obituary states thet settled on her Grandfather's farm 2 1/2 miles east of Indendence, Iowa. Yhere were many Neville's already living there.

Jim,
I had a few minutes to relax and typed my own name in the Gencircles site. Saw that you had my old email address. My
current address is:
karen@indytel.com

I have had little time the last few years to devote to searching family history. I am a daycare provider (babysitter) so I stay very
busy. I have one daughter, Stacy and a foster daughter, Lacie who are juniors in high school. They are both very active and
when they graduate I may have some extra time to devote to my searching. I am still a working member of the Buchanan
County Genealogical Society but all my work is done at home. I do obits and cards.
If there is anything you need from here let me know. Karen
