I have some extensive notes on William Neely that I received from David Neely and I am trying to put them in context with my other Neely information. William Neely - 17 Feb 1817 to 27 Oct 1901; m. Sarah Skiles in 1837 Children: Hiram, b. 1838; m. Margaret Scott Harmer, b, 1840; m. Anna Mary Harper Emily, b. 28 Feb 1843; m. Wm. P. McCormick Rebecca, b. 18 Feb 1845 Mary, b. 13 Mar 1847; m.

Julie Hammond This John Neely is listed as a Justice of the Peace and a General of the Militia in Jordan's History of Western Pennsylvania (1915). I am trying to find John Neely's parents or some connection to the other Neely families in Allegheny County at the time. Any assistance would be appreciated. jm -- John Middleton, Leawood, Kansas Middleton, SCT>Liverpool, Eng>Chicago, IL, 1800-1920; Neely, IRL>PA, 1759-1900; Chid(d)ester, WV>OH, 1800-1900; Som(m)erville, Grasmere, Eng, 1700-1850
