  [S40] Will, David Neal, names son, William. David Neal was born in Ireland. His will is dated 24 Jun 1775 and recorded in Amelia Co., VA, WB 2, p. 176. His personal property was appraised 10 May 1776 (Amelia Co., VA, WB 2, p. 194). David's will names his children: Thomas, Stephen, William, John, Roger, and Mary Morgan. He also names grandchildren William and Joannah Reeves. Son Roger was named his executor. His wife was not named. Other sources record that David's daughter Mary married Samuel Morgan and daughter Eleanor married Thomas Reeves. David's son Roger married Ann Hatchett, daughter of William Hatchett and Margaret Remay. Some of their descendants lived in Caswell Co., NC (see listing under Roger Neal and Anne Hatchett). Roger's will, dated 16 Mar 1785 is recorded in Amelia Co., VA, WB 3, p. 331. He died prior to 22 Sep 1785, the date his executors sold his plantation. He named 6 children: David, Thomas, John, Archer, Abraham, and Tabitha. It was his will that all his land be sold and the money be equally divided between his 2 youngest sons, Archibald and Abraham; that the remainder of his estate be sold and the money applied to the schooling of his sons John, Archibald and Abraham. He appointed as executors his sons Thomas and John Neal and Robert Marshall. [S84] Rootsweb, http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=caswellcounty&id=I27017. [S107] Family Histories, http://nealmanor.com/Neal/BPNeal.htm. 6. 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.
