BRD discussion

Robert a rose and Discospinster, I have created a place for you two to discuss the edits you disagree on. Robert, can you explain why your change was good? Mr. Guye (talk) 00:38, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I haven't previously participated in a talk on Wikipedia (or article edit for that matter) so I apologize in advance if I miss any standard protocols. I actually did not "remove" content from the article -- although the revision comparison is a bit misleading. All I did was correct some misinformation on 2 points: 1) Confusion between Joseph Neville and his brother George (from whom I am descended.) George was not the father of John Neville (the general), Joseph was. Joseph and George's parents were John Neville and Elizabeth Bohannan. John's father was James Neville. The source I cited has more info on this.

2) The story about George being kidnapped is a myth also described in the source I cited. There is documentation of George's parents being here in North America and no supporting family letters or family documents support the story about the kidnapping. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robert a rose (talk • contribs) 00:48, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The UPitt source in the article says that his father is named George so that's what I was going by. ... discospinster _talk 00:54, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting. I believe that is incorrect though. The source I cited has a lot more detail about the Neville family, the generations going back further, other siblings, and other spellings of the surname. It's worth noting that the Pittsburgh Episcopal Church's version also misstates the name of George's wife. She was Hannah Burroughs, not Ann. I believe this is again due to confusion between Joseph and George. Joseph's wife was named Ann -- but it was Ann Bohannan (not the cousin of Lord Fairfax). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robert a rose (talk • contribs) 01:14, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
