Am trying to trace Revel family from Alabama. Paternal grandfather Edward Selmon Revel, born approx. 1875. Large family possibly originating from Crenshaw County, AL. Anyone having any information, please post to this board or email to rrrevel@cox.net.

Re: Annie Grace Revill/Revel

bss2mc — 2009-09-29 15:08:29Z

I can't give a definitive answer, but the following might help.

There is an extracted IGI record giving the baptism at Bonby, Linconshire, of Annie Grace Revels on December 3rd 1858, parents George and Catherine. Extracted records are generally reliable, but the original would be worth checking.

A George Revell married Catherine Gilchrist registered Boston 1859-Q3 7a357 so it looks like the daughter was born before the marriage and the birth might have been registered as Gilchrist although I still can’t find anything.

A Grace Anne Revel is baptised Chester-le-Street, Durham 1859-Q4 but she appears in the 1861 census living with her parents at Lamsley in Durham.

1861 George (born Kirk Sandall, Yorkshire 1831) and Catherine Revell (born 1831 Kirk Sandall) living Bonby, Lincolnshire with daughter Annie Grace

1871 Father George lodging Worlaby with son Henry John Revels born Bonby 1863 but daughter and mother not present.

1881 George appears to have remarried and is living South Ferriby. Henry John is in the household as are three young children presumably from second marriage.

Annie appears as a servant living Cadney.

Annie Grace Revill/Revel

dragonladylfn — 2009-09-29 04:23:16Z

Looking for the birth certificate of Annie Grace Revill.

I have found a 1861 census that may be her at 5 years old and it lists her as Revel with Parents George and Catharine. This may be a misspelling but since I cannot find her birth it may be that she changed her name later on. She was born in 1856 in Bonby, Lincolshire and died Jan 2 1899 as Annie Grace Day. Any help would be appreciated as i am a little stumped. I can find her o the 1881 and 1891 census but the 1871, nothing if the 1861 is correctly her.

Perhaps I have replied befoe this.
Wm. Thomas Revel had a daughter Mary Elizabeth - and I have always surmised that the "Mary" was for his mother, Mary "Polly" Posey, dtr. of Benj. Posey. Wm. Thos was b. 1854, Talbot. Taylor Co., GA. Father was James A. Revel, CSA
Hope you are sill there. jj

Hiram Revels

sgoldsby11 — 2009-07-25 04:33:07Z

I have started looking for more information on Hiram Revels,
I really appreciate everyone that sent me information. I have been lax in following up because of work etc. But because my mother is 89 now I really want to help her to find out about her ancestors. I am really going to put forth
an effort and see what else I can find out. If the gentleman
who sent me information on Lillian is still able to get me her phone number and I hope she is still alive and I have not waited too long. I would appreciate it.

For more information, you can call my law office, 859-225-2348 and ask for Keith. To determine whether it is the same person, tell me what his nickname was when he was a kid.

According to C.J. Williams in his paper 'The Revell Family of Carnfield' published in the Journal of the Derbyshire Archaeolgical Society the Hugh Revel (d1504) who was the third son of Thomas Revel, Serjeant of Law of Higham, Derbyshire and who married Margery Greenealgh of Teversal did not have a daughter Jane.

The children shown are Tristram, Katherine, Roland, Joan Tansley (illegitimate), and Randall (illegitimate).

I have further information that I would be pleased to share, and would very much appreciate the information that you have from the Familiae Gentium Minorum that refers to these Revels.

Re: George Brock

JaneJohnson431 — 2008-06-19 20:15:55Z

For all George Brock/Martha Rainey, (Clark County AND PIKE CO., Arkansas) researchers: the third wife of George R. Brock was Mrs. Elizabeth Ann (-- ) White I don't why my grandmother Elizabeth "Betty" (Brock) Revel called her "Miss Dora". US Census in PIKE COUNTY, ARK. Grandmother spoke of living at Delight (Antoine Township). Grandfather Tom said they farmed (sometimes bought farms) in Hot Springs County, and at Amity (Pike Co.). Enough for now - must find my census records.

Re: George Brock

JaneJohnson431 — 2008-06-18 15:31:35Z

Long time to reply - various illnesses, surgeries.
Before doing a lengthy reply, am not certain of divorce date, but I think (from grandmother Elizabeth REVEL Brock's memories) he was not long married to the second wife. Not SIX years, certainly I should think, within a year - or at least they separated - he sent her packing when he discovered that his children were having to eat at "Second table", leftovers, after her children had eaten - and other transgressions. Are you a BROCK descendent?
Mrs. White (who lived across the river) resumed caring for his chilldren when he was working away from home at his trade of Millwright, Carpentry. So, how do I get a copy of the marriage record you mention.

JaneJohnson431 — 2008-06-16 03:48:26Z

Shery, who are you? I will be glad to meet you. I am granddaughter of Wm. Thos. Revel who married Elizabeth Brock at Arkadelphia, ARK. How are you connected to me? Grandfather Tom and Grandmother Betty (Brock) lived in Clark (and other) counties in Arkansas before coming to Texas. They had five children, Esther (md. Wiley Moore), Lee and Roxie (no children); Riley had son Elliot (no children) and Kenneth who had a daughter and a son. Last time I saw Kenneth, he said his daughter was interested in family search but she never contacted me. The last of the five children was my father, N. Dezz Revel.

I spoke with Georgette(Beatrice) this weekend and told her about you. Her and her mother (Lillian), found it quite interesting that the same names on your branch of the tree, reoccurs on their branch also! If you email me at MLJeffer@LASD.ORG I will send you Lillian's home phone number so you can talk with her. She's the 80 yr old GGD of Hiram Revels, with a wealth of knowledge about the Revels clan.

Hiram R. Revels biography

Hello cousin....well, actually you're a distant relative of my children on their mother's side(my ex).....their grandmother was either a daughter or granddaughter of Hiram Revels....so I guess we're in-laws in some manner, anyway...I'll past this info on to my ex's side of the family and I'm sure they'll get in contact with you on some level, to sort it all out...thanks for the response!

Re: Hiram R. & Phoeba Revels descendents

2005-10-08 03:27:45Z

Hey,
I received your message. It appears that Claude Revels was a popular name during that time. From the research that I have done on Hiram, I know that he was born in Fayetteville, N.C. and that he was tri racial. Black, White, and Native American. It was suppose to have Cherokee in him also, but when we went to N.C. we found that a lot of Lumbee Indians were Revels also. I know that Hiram stated that he did not have any slaves in his family, they were all free.
I thought he only had three daughters. I know one married and settled in the state of Washington. Are you related on his wifes side? I have been searching for at least 25 years and keep coming to a dead end. You are the first person that I have made a connection with.
Double Cheers!!!

For Rene, researcher REVEL family.
I am Jane REVEL Franklin/Johnson, b/ 1916, Houston Co., TX, gr-dtr. of Wm. Thos. Revel (b. 1854, Taylor Co., GA) and gr.gr-dtr of James A. Revel (b. 1817, SC) and Mary "Polly" Posey, b. SC. Wm. Thos. Revels said, "the were English, the Poseys were French, and were Carolinians." I was stuck at Pole Cat Pond in Orangebugh Co., SC, until today when I found communication betweem my cousin Cathy Bullington "Cacklecathy" and "Kelicin" in which Kelicin shows parents of James A. Revel to be James Revel and Elizabeth FLINT. BUT she shows James' parents to have a surname totally different from Revel. Was he orphaned?
I hope you have some clues for me. Thank you,

suzanne_aquillo — 2006-11-29 18:33:58Z

So you have a lot of info on Revel's? I know there are a lot of spelling variations, but so far I know this is how it is spelled. Have Revel's that are from Prince Edward Island around the early 1800's. Thomas Revel married Mary McIntyre and had (I think) 6 kids. Mary, John, Gabriel, Flora,Ellen and Lucina. Their birthdates run from 1864 - 1876. if there is anything you can help me with let me know. So far I am drawing blanks. Thanks

cynthus — 2005-10-07 01:31:37Z

Hi Ya'll.

Here's the article I mentioned to you about Hiram. I found it in the library in Lincolnton, NC. It was extremely interesting. In Hiram's day, the church was very influential. It would be easy to understand, therefore, why Hiram hid his association with Lincolnton until after his political career had ended.

Happy hunting! Cindi

Madison County, MO., Revelle Family

cynthus — 2005-10-29 19:06:04Z

Hello Cousins.
I am interested in obtaining any information you may have on a "Sindy Revel," who married a John Grice 13 Nov 1836 in Madison, MO. Another "Sindy Revel," married an Andrew Delrey 20 Feb 1853. I'm pretty sure this girl is of the Aaron Revel line who settled in Madison County, MO. Aaron had a daughter, Lucinda, who was born 04 February 1827, but she'd be too young to have married John Grice. Would anyone out there know who this, "Sindy," is? I am thinking her name would have really been Lucinda, but I can't place her.

Thanks in advance, Cindi Eppers.

Hello. I tried to find the book you mentioned online, but it wasn't available where I normally look for used books. However, there's about 5 different books which are available on Hiram R. Revels or have his biography included in them. Check these two sites and do a search for: Hiram R. Revels:

http://www.alibris.com/search/search.cfm
http://www.abebooks.com

Between the two of them, I found 5 different books. Here's two other sources which are handy for finding used books, but I didn't find any at this time on Hiram:

REVEL in TEXAS

stinkerbell61905 — 2006-01-24 05:41:07Z

I am searching for any living descendants of SAMUEL LARRY REVEL who was born in Dubois County, IN on January 1, 1881 and died in Laward, Texas January 1966. He married Mary "Polly" Sue VANDIVER on October 18, 1899 in Dubois County, Indiana. I have record of the following children; more may exist:

Harold, Opal, Ruby, Nora, Edith, Ramond, & Pearl.

These REVEL's are cousins to my OSLAGE line. Family story has it that they left Indiana in an awful big hurry after my great-great-great grandmother's death in 1901. Am curious as to why, and if someone may possibly know what happened to my great-grandfather after his grandmother's death.
