  [S107] Family Histories, http://nealmanor.com/Neal/BPNeal.htm#6.%20David%20Neall. 2. Thomas Neall was born in Ireland, probably in the 1690s, and came to America sometime between 1718 and 1730. His brothers Roger and Stephen and his sister Ann are on record as arriving in 1718 but his parents Steaven Sr. and Margaret did not arrive until 1730. The earliest record for Thomas in Virginia is when he received two land grants in 1735. One was for 800 acres on May 20, 1735 and one was for 400 acres on September 10, 1735. Both grants were for land on the South Fork of Beaver Pond, which was in Prince George Co., at this time. The grant process involved several steps, including a survey, and sometimes could take awhile before the grant is actually finalized. The records indicate that Thomas was already in possession of the land prior to the date of the grant so Thomas may have arrived in America in 1730 with his parents. Thomas Neall's will was written on January 7, 1730, perhaps after just arriving in America, in what was then Prince George Co., and recorded December 10, 1736 in Amelia Co., Virginia. His will does not mention a wife or children so it is assumed that he never married. To summarize Thomas' will, 1. He gave the lower half of his 800 acres to his father and brother Roger and the upper half to his brother Stephen. 2. He gave the lower half of his 400 acres to his brother Stephen and the upper half to his brother David. 3. He gave William Marshall, his brother-in-law, the residual [residue] of my estate both real and personal".
