"Dutch " Revelle
I am Robert H.("Dutch) Revells' grandson. He was born in Portsmouth Va. 22Jan1881, Died 6March1928 from injuries due to a fall at Norfolk Naval Shipyard. He was living in Norfolk at that time, but I do believe that NNSY was, and still is in Portsmouth Va. There is a reference to Tanners Creek in a previous thread...Tanners Creek was just a Census district which included (what then was) outlying areas of Norfolk City. My father was Granville Edward Revelle (also went by "Dutch) Born in Norfolk City, Va. (not Nevada!) on 3 October 1905, Died 18Jan 1985 in Norfolk City Va. I have numerous Newspaper articles photos of teams and other memorabilia relating to Robert H. Revelle...Just to mention: The Revelles of Dutchs' time rarely used the last "e" in Revelle. The Revell families of Portsmouth (there were actually 2 lines) were direct decendants of Randall Revell ca1630 from Somerset Co. Maryland. Write for any further info, I live in Lynch Staion, Va.
