      These Parker are found as living on Mirey Creek, of Halifax Co. Va. Obediah died 1777, in Halifax Co. Va. (so this was done before his death. I would have to double check details of his Will for exact date. 21 Aug 1777 Road Order: Humphrey Hendrick appointed Surveyor for the road from Evans Creek to the New Court House at Borams?. Ordered that the said Humphrey with male laboring tithables belonging to himself, to John Moore, Sr., Abraham Easley, Charles Smith, James Hardage, William Estes, Robert Bennett, Edward Powell, John Childress, the Widow Neal, William Gent, James Gent, William Evans, Ezekiel Slaughter, William Daniel, William Murphy, William Parker, Obediah= Parker, George Wood, Moses Hendrick,William [obliterated], William Bixby, James Brown, John Eppes, Moses Terry, Moore Matlock, William Daniel, John Pruitt, William Kerley, and Robert Durham do go forth and clear Records 1780-1790 from this file you find. http://www.genfiles.com/hendrick/ Thanks so his records. We found the William Parker of Mirey Creek, of Halifax Co, Va. And that this is indeed Drusilla's son, William and married to Ann Hendrick. 16 Mar 1784 Deed of Gift: John Hendrick, Sr., of Halifax County, to grandchildren Mary Anne Smith and William Thornton Smith, children of Charles Smith, for natural love and 5 shillings, give Mary Anne 1 bay mare and 1 feather bed and furniture, give William Thornton 1 young sorrel horse and 1 feather bed and furniture... /s/ John Hendrick. Wit: Anna ?X? Parker, Tabitha Hendrick Smith. (Halifax County, VA, Now for Totty records of Halifax http://www.totty-families.org/records/vahalif.html We find these deeds. Page 17. Sep 23, 1793 from - Partrick ESTIS and John EASTIS of Hawkins County, North Carolina [Tennessee], to Daniel Chumbley of H, for 50 £, about ll9 acres in H on the branches of Mirey Cr, and bounded by Bartlett Crenshaw, James Hardwick, Stephen Tackett, Ann Bennett, Daniel PARKER, Signed - Partrick (X his mark) ESTIS, John (X his mark) ESTES.

Eastis. Wit - William PARKER, George ESTIS, John PARKER. Recorded Sep 23, 1793. Not sure what this Document is but this puts this John B. Parker as living around the William, and Daniel Parker of Mirey Creek! As his witness are Bartlett Crenshaw, and Charles Smith as one of John Hendrick's son-in -law. Not researched the Thorton Smith, it maybe John grandson. Records 1790 12 Dec 1791 Deed: Heirs of John Hendrick, late of Halifax County, decd., to Charles Smith, for£50, 100 acres in Halifax County on Mirey Creek, being the plantation where said John Hendrick, Decd., lived and died, adjoining Daniel Moore, Robert Chappel, Bartlett Crenshaw, and said Charles Smith... /s/ Humphry Hendrick, John H. Hendrick, Absolom Hendrick, Robert Lumkin, William Parker. Wit: None. (Halifax County, VA, Deeds, 15:256) The documents of the Hendrick's researcher shows proof that Charles Smith was John Hendrick's son in law. So we have this Document from the Google Book of Rose/Ayers family. With the witness of these same people. Would like to know what you think. If I have missed something.

      The Children of David Neall and Joannah

      David Neall was born in Ireland, probably in the 1690s, and died 1776 in Amelia Co. Virginia. We know that some of his siblings came to America in 1718 and that his parents came in 1730 but we do not know when David arrived. The best we can say is that he came in either 1718, 1730 or possibly sometime in between. He married Joannah Abt. 1726 in Virginia.

      David's personal property was appraised October 5, 1776 so he most likely died just prior to that date or soon after he wrote his will on June 24, 1775. His will does not name his wife Joannah so she was apparently deceased prior to June 1775.

      In his will, dated 1736, Thomas Neall gave his brother David the upper 200 acres of a 400 acre grant Thomas had received on October 9, 1735. Thomas gave his brother Stephen Jr. the lower 200 acres of the same grant. In 1743 Stephen Neal Jr. and his wife Elizabeth sold this 200 acres to Hugh Chambers for £40. On November 24, 1757, David Neall purchased this same 200 acres from Hugh Chambers for £200.

      On January 25, 1758, David conveyed to three of his sons, all of Amelia Co., 100 acres each, of the above land for £50 each. Roger received 100 acres on the north side of Beaver Pond Beach, Stephen 100 acres on the upper part and on the south side of Beaver Pond Beach, adjoining William Marshall, William 100 acres on the lower part of the south side of Beaver Pond Beach adjoining John Thompson and Stephen Farley.

      On May 23, 1768 David gave, by deed, 8 negroes to his grandchildren Thomas, Jeremiah, William and Joannah Reeves, children of his son-in-law Thomas Reeves. David also gave Samuel Morgan [his son-in-law] 6 slaves but only after the death of David and his wife.

      David Neall's will was dated June 24, 1775 and he names his children as Thomas, Stephen, William, John, Roger, Mary Morgan, and his grandchildren William and Joannah Reeves. He gave his son Roger, "the land and plantation whereon I now live" 2 negro men, furniture, goods and stocks of all kinds.

      As stated above, David owned 400 acres of which he conveyed 300 acres to his sons Roger, Stephen and William. There is no record that he conveyed any land to his sons Thomas and John and it appears from his will that he bequeathed the remaining 100 acres, assuming that would be the "land and plantation whereon I now live", to his son Roger.
