William H. Neville, one of the younger farmers of Gosfield North, and a public-spirited citizen, who is ever ready to help in any movement for the betterment of his community, was born March 27, 1866, near Pontiac, Michigan, though he comes of one of Canada's old families, being a son of Edward and Sarah (McKenzie) Neville.
     The first of the family to settle in Essex was Edward Neville, a native of Ireland, who came to Canada with his family of five sons, Robert, Edward, James, George and Francis, and one daughter. Francis Neville was born in July, 1798, married Nancy Williams, born Oct. 4, 1805, and settled on what is now Lot 271, Talbot Road South, in 1825, in the days when the country was an unbroken wilderness, and the only road an Indian trail from the lake to Windsor. On the farm which he cleared in the midst of this wilderness, Francis Neville and his wife lived for the rest of their days, and of their eleven children, nine reached maturity: (1) Thomas married Agnes Beatty, and lived and died on the old homestead, leaving a family of three, James (of Cottam), Robert (of South Dakota) and Nancy (wife of Charles Boorman). (2) James married Sarah Wigle and settled in Gosfield, his family are John, of Detroit; Mary, wife of Wilthew Foster; Colin, on the homestead about half a mile from Ruthven; Testamia, wife of Michael Wigle; Dr. Wendal, of Wisconsin; Augusta, wife of Ezra Wigle; and Adelia, wife of Scott Foster. (3) Edward was the father of William H. and Joanna. (4) Mary, wife of Charles Gilboe, of Gosfield, had two daughters, Testamia, wife of Solomon Malott, and Alwilda, wife of Albert Lonsbury. (5) Abigail married Peter Gilboe, of Gosfield, their children being Andrew, of Detroit; Seroha, wife of Fred Robinson; Isadore, wife of Grove Hopgood; Philemon, of the United States; Hubert, at home; Minnie, wife of Charles Williams; and Leonard, at home. (6) Jane is the wife of Joseph Gilboe, of Michigan, and has six children, Francis and Oscar, of Pontiac; Laura, wife of George Johnson; Byron, Ella and Nina, at home. (7) Charles married Adeline Sanford and settled in Gosfield, where he died leaving one son, Charles, of Kingsville. (8) Solomon married Julia Lamarsh, and settled in Gosfield; he has two sons, Charles, of Cottam, and Hubert, of Michigan. (9) Isabella is the wife of Alexander Neville, of Pontiac, Michigan, and mother of Truella, now Mrs. Dusenberry, of Pontiac...

Peter Gilboe, a retired farmer of Gosfield North, is now, in the evening of his days, reaping the reward of his long life of honest toil and kindly deeds, in the unreserved respect and affection with which he is regarded by his neighbours, among whom he has walked many years. He was born in Gosfield South, near Olinda, Sept. 14, 1832.
     Joseph and Elizabeth (Wigle) Gilboe, his parents, were among the earliest settlers of the County of Essex...
     The family of twelve children born to Joseph Gilboe all lived to grow up... (5) Peter was the fifth child...
     Peter Gilboe grew up on his father's farm, assisting in the work and receiving the limited education which was all that he could obtain in that day and place. As he grew toward manhood he worked by the day till he had earned enough to buy forty acres of his father's homestead, when he began farming for himself. All the present buildings he put up, and as time passed, he purchased one hundred acres adjoining his farm on the south. This place is all under cultivation and has been made one of the finest in the county. At present Mr. Gilboe is building a modern brick house on one part of his homestead, which his son, Hubert, is to occupy.
     Christmas Day, 1855, witnessed the marriage of Mr. Gilboe to Miss Abigail Neville, born in Gosfield North in June, 1835, the daughter of Francis and Nancy (Williams) Neville. They were of Welsh origin, and settled in Gosfield at about the same time with Joseph Gilboe. They passed the rest of their lives in that township, and were among the well-to-do and highly respected pioneers. Of the nine children of Peter and Abigail Gilboe, all born on the present farm, seven are living: (1) Cerona is the wife of Frederick Robinson, one of the wealthly and influential citizens of Essex, and has a family of four, Lottie, Gordon, Ethel and Gerald. (2) Isadore is the wife of Grover Hopgood, who resides on his farm on the Talbot Road, in Gosfield; they have one daughter, Dell. (3) Andrew married Miss Lottie Knight, of the County of Essex, and they have four children, Clara, Eva, Leo and Earle. He resides in Detroit, where he is foreman of the "Cadillac Hotel", one of the finest in the city. (4) Philo married Miss Mariah Stotts, of Essex. He is now in the gold fields of Montana, while his wife remains in Detroit, with her two children, Frank and Earl. (5) Hubert married Miss Jane Bradshaw, of London, and they reside on the old homestead, where he is the manager. He has one son, Carl. (6) Minnie May married Charles Williams, of Kent Bridge, Ont., and had one daughter, Mabel Gertrude. (7) Leonard, unmarried, is at home. He is a graduate of the Essex high school.
     Mr. Gilboe's political views are those of the Conservative party. He takes an intelligent interest in general politics, and has always been keenly alive to the best interests of his locality, but has never been actively concerned in public life. In religious belief he, like his wife, is a member of the Methodist Church. He was one of the founders and builders of the North Ridge Methodist Church, located on a part of his farm and has been one of its trustees for many years, besides being prominent in all phases of its work. His life has been one of usefulness and of a steady development of character, and now, in his declining years he is crowned with blessings and honor. He has witnessed the development of this section from its most primitive state, for when he came here wild animals were still numerous, and they were obliged to pen up the cattle and sheep as early as four in the afternoon. The white ash cordwood had to be drawn to Sandwich, a distance of twenty-two miles, to be sold, and their butter and eggs were carried in baskets a distance of ten miles, to Kingsville, then the nearest market.
