I have been trying for a long time to find the documentation that proves George Clayton Neill(Nancy Ellison) was son of James and Hannah Clayton Neill. It isn't that I don't believe it; I DO. But I have been searching for that proof via documentation. Lately I have been going through James' land deeds in Bedford County and found that he gave to all of his sons, parts of a 392 acre grant except to George Clayton and to James' daughter, Margaret who married Wm. D. Orr. I do have extracts of land deeds of Wm. D. Orr and several of George Clayton Neill.. I can find no land deed that James gives anything to George Clayton. Of course, James did have a will and that is mentioned in a land deed but the will apparently is not extant -- possibly destroyed when the Bedford Co. Courthouse burned. Can anyone give me any clue to hang on to; to pursue finding the proof that I want?
