Neel and Melvina? To be very truthful I am more interested in Melvina. I am not sure of her maiden name but it is believed to be Dugan. She was born about 1840 in Arkansas and moved to Texas with her first husband Thomas StClair in about 1860. They were listed on the 1860 Johnson Co., TX census. They had one child Winnie Marinda (Minnie) StClair born about 1858/59. Melvina then married Anderson S. Neel sometime before 1870. They were listed on the 1870 Milam Co census. This couple had three sons John Marion, (died in Tarrant Co but is buried in Palo Pinto Co,) James A. (James is believed to be buried in Wise co) and Albert Lee (Albert is buried in Wise Co). I have not found a trace of the family on the 1880 census but Melvina married E. N. Baker 1-27-1880 in Parker and then married Stephen Langly 3-22-1883 in Parker county.
