| Notes |
- James Kelsey son of James remained in Rowan/Iredell County, North Carolina and has descendants in that area. Article 398 by Aime M. Chase from The Heritage of Iredell Coumty 1980 published by the Genealogical Society of Iredell County, Statesville, North Carolina. Excerpt:
"Tradition holds that Robert McNeely from County Tyrone, Ireland came to Bucks County, PA in 1720. He served as an elder in the Presbyterian Church built in Deep Run, Bedminister Township, Pennsylvania in 1732 and is buried there with his wife, Rebecca. Two sons, John and Robert, went to North Carolina bout 1750.
The McNeely family has made research more difficult by using the same ftrst names again and again and Ihave not been able to make connection with these two sons.
I believe that the David McNeely whose will was probated in 1805 in Rowan County was a direct ancestor. His sons were listed as Adam, James, John and Timothy and his daughters were Margaret, Agnes and Jean. This James is probably the James who married Elizabeth Kilpatrick Feb. 25, 1793, and whose estate was divided between John R, Ruel, and
James Kelsey McNeely in Rowan County January 4, 1827. Mary McNeely, the daughter of Cam McNeely and granddaughter of James Kelsey McNeely, believes that James was an uncle and that the father of James Kelsey was Cooper John McNeely. "Miss Mary" taught school in Mooresville for many years and is still aresident. Her research indicates that Cooper John went to Missouri and an article in the "Mooresville Tribune" of 1937 states that my grandfather, John Thomas McNeely, visited relatives in Missouri near Jackson and Giradean."
Note from Maurice: Elizabeth is in household of Ruel on the 1850 Rowan County Census. Rowan County Marriage records list Elizabeth Kilpatrick wedding James McNeely, hence Anne M. Chase is probably correct
