  • Notes 

    • Mary Helen Haines notes:

      In Lake Parson's book: Col. James McFarlane of Virginia, p. 119, she says that Thomas Neel was an attorney and they married in 1774 and then moved to the Grapefield section of what is Bland Co. today. He practiced law in Tazewell Co., was a Methodist Class leader and a farmer.

      Eleanor, in 1825, was living on the property of her father that was in the hands of her brother James, who mentioned her in his will of 1825.
      In 1830 she is in the census of Tazewell Co. as Eleanor Neel, bet. 70 and 80 years old with a total of 7 members living there.
      In 1840, she is not present.

      Bland County History, prod. by Bland County Centenial, p. 84. "Thomas Neel and Ellen McFarlane Neel moved from Augusta County to Wolf Creek (Grapefield, Bland Co.) in about the year 1757. {this date is incorrect,Thomas Neel is not present on the 1782 Montgomery Co. tax list} To this union were born six sons Robert, Alexander, William, Duncan, Zachariah, James, and four daughters Kate, Jennie, Tillie, and Betsy. One son was killed in the War of 1812."
