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.

John T. McNeely, 81, Leemon Community Leader, Passes Away.

John T. McNeely, 81 years old, a farmer and community leader of
the Leemon community for many years, died at his home at 6 o'clock
Thursday night of progressive paralysis of long standing. He was
in poor health for more than a year, but was bedfast only since
Monday.

Mr. McNeely was born in the Leemon community Nov. 3, 1859, and
spent nearly all his life in that vicinity, being a successful
farmer. After reaching advanced age, he and Mrs. McNeely resided
two years in Cape Girardeau, then moved back to Leemon.

Always taking a keen interest in religious and public affairs,
he was active in social and political affairs. At one time he was
a member of the Farm Grange, was active in the Modern Woodsmen of
America Lodge, and was an active member of the Fairview Methodist
Church for 51 years.

On McKendree Board

He was a member of the board of trustees for the preservation
of Old McKendree Methodist Church, and still was at the time of his
death. He was always keenly interested in the old church's
history, and preservation of the building and grounds. He was
especially energetic as a member of the Cape County Historical
Society.

Mr. McNeely was somewhat of a philosopher, and his home,
attractively situated on a knoll overlooking Indian Creek, was a
storehouse of interesting literature in which he spent many of his
spare hours. All his neighbors were his friends, who respected
him.

On Dec. 12, 1889, he was married to Miss Jennie Stevenson of
Shawneetown. She survives, as do three daughters, Mrs. C. A. Poe of
St. Louis, Mrs. Ed Tuschhoff of Old Appleton, and Mrs. Ted
Regenhardt of Cape Girardeau; four grandchildren, one sister, Mrs.
Price Morton of near Fruitland, and two half-sisters, Mrs. Ed Lang
of Fullerton, Cal., and Mrs. W. H. Cunningham of Campbell.

Funeral services will be conducted Saturday afternoon at 2:30
o'clock, at Old Appleton Presbyterian Church. The body was to be
taken from the Cracraft-Miller Funeral Home at Jackson to the
family home at Leemon this afternoon to remain there until time for
the funeral.

From The Cash-Book Journal:

John T. McNeely, 81, of Leemon Dies

John T. McNeely, one of the most respected and esteemed citizens of
this county, died at his home at Leemon last Wednesday night of
paralysis from which he had suffered for several years. He
attended church the previous Sunday and was taken seriously ill
soon thereafter.

Mr. McNeely was born Nov. 3, 1859 in the same community in
which he died. He was the son of George W. McNeely, his
grandfather being John R. McNeely, a native of North Carolina who
moved to this county in 1830. On Dec. 12, 1889 he united in
marriage with Miss Jennie Stevenson of Shawneetown, who survives.
He followed farming all of his active life.

He was a devout Methodist, being a member of the Fairview
church for 51 years, and one of the principal supports of the
church, which he attended regularly so long as his health
permitted, He was very positive in his views yet most charitable
with those who honestly differed with him. His love for his
country and his patriotism was outstanding throughout his life.
Always a great reader he could converse intelligently upon any
subject of the day. The editor of the Cash-Book considered him one
of his warm, personal friends. Although we did not agree upon many
subjects our friendly arguments were greatly enjoyed.

In addition to his widow he leaves three daughters, Mrs. C. A.
Poe of St. Louis, Mrs. Ed Tuschoff of near Old Appleton and Mrs.
Ted Regenhardt of Cape Girardeau, a sister, Mrs. Price Morton of
Fruitland and two half-sisters, Mrs. Ed Lange of Fullerton, Calif.,

Funeral services were held at the Old Applecreek Presbyterian
