Richard Wevill, my ancestor number
116, emigrated from the West Counties
of England to Philadelphia. To the best of my knowledge,
his origin and ancestry has not been established.
Charles Ronald Bruce Nichols,
in Wyvill-Wevill of Constable Burton
and "Trevell" Lewannick Cornwall, Third Edition [1996],
says on page 30 that Richard Wevill, later of Philadelphia, is the Richard
Wevill who was christened on 24 October 1759 at Lewannick in Cornwall.
My thanks to Jean Banowit,
another descendant of Richard Wevill, who provided the reference to
Nichols' work.
This webpage, below, is an exploration of the ancestry of
the Richard Wevill christened 24 October 1759 at Lewannick.
The numbering in parentheses is numbered from me and is based on the
assumption that the connection claimed by Nichols is correct.
The information on the ancestry of Richard's mother, Joan Luskey,
was extracted from several WorldConnect databases, specifically
