Hello everyone, I have an ancestor James Peery NEEL/NEAL who I have found in Tazewell Co. VA and based on the census records and other records I have determined the following about my GGG Grandfather. James Peery NEAL was b. 11 Apr 1810 in VA and d. 6 Aug 1880 Tazewell Co.VA. He married Delilah KIRK the daughter of William and Margaret (Brooks) KIRK. According to death records for Tazewell Co. VA my James Peery NEAL was the son of Calvan NEAL and Nancy (??) Neal. The children of James Peery NEAL and Delilah included (per 1850 census) Peggy (Margaret), Nancy, William, Frances, John (Jonathan), Louisa, and Samuel. In the 1880 census I found James P NEEL and Delilah NEEL living with their son Jonathan A. NEEL. Does anyone know if there is a connection with the PEERY family of Tazewell Co. VA and the NEAL family? Does anyone have a reference for a Calvan NEEL/NEAL who would have been born probably before 1790 as James was born in 1810 in VA. I found a Nancy PEERY in VA records. Might she have married Calvan NEAL and thus be a parent of James Peery NEAL?
