George W. McNeely was born in Cape Girardeau County on February 7, 1836. He is the son of John R. McNeely, a native of North Carolina. The latter was reared in his native State, and was married there to Mary Shuford, who was also a native of North Carolina, born in 1807. After their marriage they immigrated to Missouri, and settled in Cape Girardeau County in 1833. There they entered land and improved a farm, upon which Mrs. McNeely still resides. Although Mr. McNeely was a cooper by trade he managed his farm during his life, and died thereabout 1843. They were the parents of six children, four of whom are living. One son, Archibald, resides in California. The two other sons and the daughter live in Cape Girardeau County. George W. grew to manhood on his father's farm, and in 1858 was united in marriage with Marillus Hale, daughter of Thomas Hale. After his marriage Mr. McNeely rented land for a few years, but located upon the farm where he now resides in 1868, having purchased it two years previously

NOTE by Rob: Archibald is a brother of George W McNeely, NOT his son.

I called Pioneer Cemetery 20 Jan 2021 and talked to Suzy to confirm death date of Mary L McNeely Mann. Suzy confirmed cemetery records had 1855-1877.

Notes:

Based on Archibald's will his brother John had son James. If this is Archibald's brother then son James. Anne Chase believes this James is son of David McNeely of Rowan County. David has a James. John does not mention James in will, however that does not eliminate the possibility of James being his son. John's will does not list daughter Elinor and possibly another daughter as well. SEE NOTES ON JAMES FOR ADDITIONAL SUPPORT.

1778 tax list of Rowan does not include James hence was not 18 years old. 1787 tax list does include James age 26 would be born 1761.


The late Betty Mills (Cape Girardeau County Genealogical Society) thinks James married 2 times, Elizabeth 2 wife, probably correct if age is correct tax list of I787 includes male 3 and female 26)

James married Elizabeth Kilpatrick on 25 Feb 1793 in , Rowan County, North Carolina, USA. Elizabeth (daughter of John C Kilpatrick and Margaret Elizabeth McKnight) was born in 1771 in , , North Carolina, USA; died on 08 Dec 1845 in Rutherford County, Rutherford County, North Carolina, USA.
