There are lists for the Oglethorpe settlers (1733 list of colonists). There are no Neels on that list. Does not mean that your family was not there via overland travel, and it does not mean that they were not there soon thereafter. As an aside, how old is the bible? (i.e. is it published in 1700s, or written at some later time ). > George along with his brothers were supposed to have served > in the Rev war but other researchers have not been able to find anything. There are many Rev War sites on the net; a net search for Georgia + Revolution should turn up quite a few. There is another person researching your George Neel: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~neals/GeorgeNeel.htm
