James Neeley
James Neeley was born around 1717. He married Margaret Jane Grimes on 17 May 1740 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (Christ Church). The family moved to Augusta County, Virginia by 8 February 1749 when James purchased land from Ephtraim Gaussen. This purcahse was recorded in Augusta County, Virginia DB2/598-599. He bought and sold several parcels of land over his life time. in 1769 the area he was living in became a new county. Botetourt county was formed at that time. Two pieces of land were deeded, in March of 1776, one to his son William and the other to his daughter Jane who had married Philip Love. These deeds are recorded in Botetourt County, Virginia DB2/208-209, and 210. He died in Guilford County, North Carolina and was buried in the Alamace Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Greensboro.

Neely Genetic Groups
All YDNA projects appear to be comprised of several different genetic groups. We recognize a total of six Neely "branches" from the different genetic groupings that have evolved from participant's YDNA STR results. In order for a grouping to qualify as a branch, we have decided it must contain at least three Neely surnames (or spelling variant) of 37-marker haplotypes, with each having a FTDNA TiP calculation of 50% or more probability for a MRCA from the group average (modal haplotype) in the last 12 generations. This should be useful for looking at Neely history back to about 1500 or slightly earlier. The remaining participant groupings may or may not grow into a Neely branch in the future, depending on results of future participants. A brief summary for each of the six Neely branches is shown below.
1. Listed as the PA group, the 24 participant's results show a tightly related genetic group. The origin of this group appears to be from Scotland or perhaps England based on current information. The MRCA of several participants in this group, including Jim and Stephen, has been traced to Thomas Neely, who came from County Tyrone to PA about 1730 with his young family. At least two of his sons moved to the Carolinas about 1760. At this time, we have been unable to tie participants from this group to records of their family in Ulster, Ireland.
2. Listed as the VA group, the 18 participant's results show a slightly looser related genetic group that is related to the PA group. Comparison of the averages of this group and the first group above are exactly the same except for DYS570 and CDYa & b (markers 33, 34 and 35). One group must have mutated from the other sometime in the fairly distant past. Several of the participants of this group are descended from James Neely in Botetourt Co, VA in the 1700's whose brother, Dr. John, lived there and first married sisters in the Philadelphia area about 1740. Initially it was thought James and John were from NY (hence the original group name), but we have been unable to find evidence of this. Like the first group, they also appear to have originally come from Scotland or perhaps England. Also, several MRCA have been identified in the early 1700's as coming from Ulster from paper trail genealogy, but no connection to the records in Ireland have been established thus far.
On page 6 of ?Neely Narrative?, Grace Renshaw says ?There is evidence that Jane Grimes Neelly died in 1776. At this time James (1) gave most of his land to Jane and Philip Love and a 49 acre portion of the home place to William. I have been told of a letter of emotional character written by James at that time to daughter Jane (the letter said to be extant), the inference being that James' wife had died and in his sorrow he had divested himself of most of their property.?
