You might be wondering how come this group of Revels is being called the Whitish Moors Group, it’s based on the proven fact that the Whitish Moors were from Northwestern Africa and was proven to have been part of the invasion of Spain between 711AD and 718AD with the blackish moors. The YDNA from the Descendants from John Revel 1718 and Edmond Revel 1720-25 show them being Haplogroup E-FT380130 from having matches to people who came from Spain and people who came from Mauritania and people from Morocco. All of these matches had the one story in common and that was the Whitish Moors.

Who was John Revel 1718, Edmond C Revel 1720-25, and Sabra Revel 1725-35 father? That is a very good question, and the answer is not certain because of the lake of proof. I do question a lot about Randolph Revel born about 1690 and was in the War of Jenkins Ear and was known as a Slave trader. With stories in the William Elbert Revels family saying their Ancestor was a slave trader and had children with a black woman, The logical answer would be Randolph Revel 1690 was a Indentured Servant who was in William Gooch’s Regiment where he did happen to take Soldiers from the America Colonies. This Randolph Revel is different from the R-FT388383 and the R-FT410866 group as they were in the Virginia and Maryland Colony Militia and not in William Gooch’s Militia. Randolph Revel 1690 might have been the son of Henry Revel who came over to America in 1687. Many of these men who went to America in 1687 from France ended up in the Carolina’s. Some even went to Pennsylvania and later went down to South Carolina in 1731 on the Welch Tract.

BigY-700 DNA shows the Most Common Ancestor for E-FT380130, Now being the fact that John Revels 1718 and Edmond C Revel 1720-25 were both E-FT380130, that would put their father a E-FT380130 Common Ancestor was born between 1665-1764 WITH A 68%, In fact that John was born in 1718 and Edmond C Revel was born around 1720, their father was born sometime between 1665-1700.

John Revel was living in the Welch Tract just southwest of the Little PeeDee River and sold his land to William Rhodes in 1755. This was just below Robeson and Bladen County, NC. This was also before the English Revell line R-FT410866 went down to this area in the 1780’s.

The two Images just above are the Land deed to where Edmond C Revel sells the land to Elijah Revel 1744 and Micajah Revel 1747. In BigY DNA The descendants from Elijah Revel 1744 are Proven Revel Whitish Moors Revel group of the E-FT380130 Line and Matched to the Revels living in South Carolina at the time around the Welch Tract and PeeDee Indian area. Later, these Revels moved into Bladen and Robeson County, NC.

Edmond Revels and Jeremiah Revels both were Loyalist for the PeeDee Militia 1780-1782, where they both betrayed the Milita and took off to Georgia. This is found in the Loyalists in the Southern Campaign of the Revolutionary War Book By: Murtie June Clark. These men were known as Indians in South Carolina on the Peedee Indian land as loyalist. Edmond was found in 1790 in Richmond County, GA on a voters list. Jeremiah was probably dead at this time as stated in an old story that he had died on his way to Georgia. In the 1830 Census Edmond was born sometime between 1760-1770. This Edmond would not be the same Edmond C Revel 1720-25 in Edgecombe County, NC or the same Edmond Revels 1738 in Robeson County, NC. This Edmond Revels was found in an Old Newspaper in 1800 as a Court Recorder for Montgomery County, GA. In a land grant in Emanuel County, GA around 1818, Edmond Revels bought land with his brother John Revels and James Kersey as the witness to the Grant. Edmond Revels 1765 ended up in Appling County, GA listed as Free of Color near his son Henry Revels 1794, John Revels 1803, and Jeremiah Revels 1796. The last Record found of Edmond Revels was in May 1833 as he was listed as a Voter in Madison County, FL. with his son John Revels.

This is a basic Map Description on the Different Edmond’s in North Carolina, Edmond C Revel 1720-25 (E-FT380130) last known Record found was in 1792 and most of the time had a C as his middle name. This Edmond was still in Edgecombe and Nash County, NC while at the same time the Edmond Revels was in Robeson County, NC and another Edmond Revels was in Richmond County, GA. The Edmond Revels 1738 (E-FT380130) of Bladen and Robeson County, NC could be argued if he was the son of Edmond C Revel 1720-25 or his brother John Revel 1718. More evidence is shown that he was the son John Revel rather than Edmond C Revel 1720-25. As some family stories were that one of the Revels crossed over the Peedee River into Robeson County, NC from South Carolina, and also in the deeds Edmond C Revel 1720-25 never listed a son Edmond Revels 1738 and only listed Elijah 1744 and Micajah 1747. Edmond Revels 1738 in Robeson County, NC was clearly different than the one in Edgecombe County, NC. There was an Edmund Revell in Dobbs/Wayne County, NC in the 1700’s, this Edmund is known to be from the R-FT410866 Revell British line.
