the Knox County, Indiana 8 February 1812 Hawkins Township Voters
roll. He and his wife first purchased land in 1812.
(Note: There was also a Samuel Neal in the Indiana Militia and it has been speculated that
he and James were brothers and the orphans as recorded below;
from http://www.riverduck.com/genealogy/gwin/D1.htm<BR>
"OCTOBER 21, 1778. (363) Samuel Neal, orphan of James Neal, to be bound
to Lanty Graham; James Neal to Robert Gwinn. [Chalkley vol 1, p.202]
"Oct 1778: Package marked "Papers--1780 to 1790."--This is to certify that I,
Robert Gewn (signed Gwinn) and William Forknor, executors, and uncles to
James Neal's orphans, are desirous that there should be an order to bind
Samuel Neal to Lanty Graham, and James to Robert Gewn. October, 1778.
(Signed) Robert Gwinn, William Forknor. [Chalkley vol 1, p.533]"
This connection is unproven to date, However there is information that definitely seems to
suport this connection, see Appendix E ! Two yDNA samples taken show that no other of
surname Neal/Neel/Neil/Neale that has taken the test are closely related to James. See
Appendix F. )

ALFRED NEAL, farmer, of Vigo Township, was born in the "Hoosier State" April 3, 1848,
son of Emri and Elizabeth (Weaver) Neal, and is one of eight children. The father is of
Irish descent, born in Indiana in 1806. He was a successful farmer and owned at one
time 680 acres of land. He was one of the first settlers of Knox County, Ind., and died
April 4, 1876. The mother was born in Indiana in 1813, and after the death of her
husband she lived on the old home place with her son Noah. She died November 29,
1879. Our subject attended the district schools and resided on the home farm until
twenty-three years of age. February 13, 1871, he married Mary Catharine Wampler,
whose parents were Daniel and Susanah (Slinkard) Wampler. Mrs. Neal was born
in Knox County November 26, 1851, and bore her husband two children: Flora May,
born in 1873, and Elizabeth Susanah, born in 1876. After his marriage Mr. Neal located
on a 100-acre tract in Virgo Township, which was given him by his father. By industry
and close attention to business he now owns 150 acres of land and a fine frame
dwelling-house and has added many other improvements. He has an excellent
reputation, is politically a Democrat and cast his first vote for Horace Greeley.
