To the best of my knowledge, Benjamin Keville came from either Lunenburg or Charlotte, Virginia. Don't know when or where either town is located in Virginia. I suspect Benjamine Keville's parents immigrated from England to Virginia about 1700-1740; however, I've been unable to verify that assumption, and don't know when they arrived in Virginia. Liverpool, England was the main sea port in western England where most of the Irish and English immigrants used to sail to North America. Unfortunatelly, you almost need the name of the boat and arrival date to determine when and where they arrived. Asyone with more information should contact me so we can piece together the few clues available and trace the Kevilles back across the ocean.
