Reference to Reveal family
The Reveal FamilyDescendants of Michael Riley Reveal. It is my understanding that the Reveal name is French. There are a number of variations of the spelling of the name: Revel(l)e, Revielle, Revil(l)e,ReVeal, Revels, Reveil, Reveile, Reveallee, Revil(l), Reavell,and Revell. The English surname Revil(l), Revil(l)e, Reavell, etc. was derived from the Old French word revel, meaning "pride, rebellious sport". It was used as a nickname long before it became a surname. The story is that 2 or 3 brothers fled France some time in the 1600 or 1700 hundreds during the Holy Wars between the Catholics and Protestants to avoid being beheaded. They possibly went through Spain > England > Ireland or Scotland. In the late 1760's Riley Reveal at the age of 14 left Scotland or Ireland on a boat for the United Sates of America.
