Revell Family Study
Lionel Revell
Ruth Ely daughter of George Ely of Mansfield married at Sheffield in 1672 to Lionel Revell, a son no doubt of Lionel Revell who was baptized at Dronfield, Derbyshire, in 1632, who joined the Society of Friends.
At some stage they lived at the Mansion House, Westfield Mansfield. On 13 April, 1675, Lyonell Revell and Ruth surrendered the house to Joshua Ely (Ruth's brother?) and his heirs. Lionel and Ruth moved to Sheffield.
