John Neal
John Neal was born 1776 in Amelia Co., Virginia. He was the son of Stephen Neal and Ann. John moved with his parents from Amelia Co to Pittsylvania Co., Virginia circa 1793. He married Priscilla Craddock, daughter of John Craddock and Mary Hendricks, on March 8, 1801 in Pittsylvania Co.
In 1819, John and Priscilla moved to Bath Co., Kentucky where Priscilla died in 1832. John then moved to nearby Nicholas Co., where he died in July of 1848.
John married Eliza Ann Fletcher, probably around 1835. Eliza was born circa 1815 in Kentucky.
In Chancery Papers recorded in Pittsylvania Co., Virginia from 1854 to 1869 pertaining to the disposition of the estate of John's brother Samuel Neal is an affidavit by William Powell dated July 5, 1858 in Nicholas Co., Ky. The affidavit names John Neal's 12 children and gives the married names of the five females and indicates that all 12 are living at that time.
In the same Chancery Papers, dated June 15, 1869 the heirs of John Neal are listed and indicates that each of the 12 direct heirs were to receive $1204.08 with interest from December 8, 1856.
Soon after John died in 1848, Eliza moved with her two sons, James and Thomas and two of her stepsons, Wellington and Armistead Neal to Cooper Co., Missouri where they lived during the 1850 census. They later moved to Pettis Co. and then Benton Co. Missouri. Thomas moved to Polk County Missouri.

Son of John Freemont Neal and Eliza Ann Fletcher
Thomas Fletcher Neal was the son of John Fremont Neal and Eliza Ann Fletcher. He was born in either Nicholas or Bath County Kentucky on September 8, 1839. After his father John died in 1848, he moved with his mother Eliza, brother James, and two step brothers Armistead and Wellington Neal to Cooper County Missouri sometime after the 1850 census.
Thomas married Mary Frances Hammond, also spelled Hammons, in Cooper County on October 21, 1858. Mary was born December 19, 1842 possibly in Cooper or Lincoln County Missouri and was the daughter of Edward Hammond and Martha "Patsy" Barlow. Mary died in Polk County Missouri on July 8, 1908 and is buried in Reed Cemetery in Halfway Missouri. Thomas remarried Margaret Catherine ?Howe?, daughter of Mathew Dunbar and Elizabeth Alderson in 1910. She died in Bolivar on March 18, 1916. Thomas died on August 15, 1922 and is buried in Reed Cemetery in Halfway Missouri.
In September of 1862, Thomas enlisted in Co. H, 52nd Regt. of the Enrolled Missouri Militia. He served in that regiment until July of 1863 when he enlisted in Capt. Richard Newman's Co. of the 4th Prov. Regt of the Enrolled Missouri Militia. He was honorably discharged at Otterville in Cooper County in September of 1864. In 1891 and again in 1894, Thomas applied for a Federal pension based on his civil war service outlined above. His applications, however, were rejected on the basis that the Enrolled Missouri Militia was a state organization and not part of the Federal service.
Soon after his discharge from the Enrolled Missouri Militia in 1864, Thomas and Mary moved to Halfway, Polk County, Missouri where they bought a farm, possibly with the money Thomas inherited from his father John, and grew apples from which he made and sold apple cider. According to my father, some of his customers were Jesse and Frank James , the Younger brothers, et al.
When Thomas moved to Polk Co. he seems to have broken all ties with his mother, brother and step-brothers who had moved to nearby Pettis Co. and then to Benton Co. Missouri. According to my father and other family sources, Thomas never discussed his family with anyone so there apparently was some kind of serious disagreement between them that was never reconciled. As a point of irony, Thomas also had a son who walked off the farm after an argument with his father and was never heard from again.
Thomas was primarily a farmer but according to family sources, he may have taught school at some point in his life, as did his step-brothers Stephen, Armistead and Wellington, and was often referred to as the "professor". It seems more likely to me that since he was obviously educated, in a time and place where most were not, he was simply referred to as the "professor" because of his education. Thomas was also known for his penmanship and artistic ability.
