There was a John Neal associated with the Polk family in Damn (Dames) Quarter in first half of 18th century and in the upper Nanticoke area (NW Fork), then in Dorchester, now Sussex, after they moved there in 1740's. I don't know if he was connected to the other John Neals cited in foregoing messages but thought I should mention for those who may have interest. John Neal (Neall, Oneall, Neial) is found in tax list for Monie Hundred from 1730-1739 in the household of Joseph Polk who lived at Polks Folly in Damn Quarter. Joseph moved to Dorchester about 1740 and neither he nor Neal are in the Monie tax lists after that. I presume Neal also moved to Dorchester since he appears as one of the witnesses to Joseph Polk/Pollock's will written in Dorchester in 1751. He is also listed as a security for Joseph's wife Lydia who was executrix of Joseph's estate. John White of Dames Quarter identified his daughter Margaret as the wife of John Neal in his will written 1761. There don't seem to be any probate records for John Neal in the Maryland Prerogative Court records. There is also a John Neal who was fingered as the begetter of Johanna Bryan's illegitimate child in her trial for fornication in Somerset Court, 20 March 1715/16.
