Surnames: Neal, McCague (McCabe), Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/GlTBAEB/1972 Message Board Post: I have searched for over 30 years for the parents of Mary Vance b. ca 1810 possibly in PA according to the Census. In 1850 she lived in Allegheny Co., PA but was not necessarilary born there. She married a Mr. Neal (Neel, Neil, Neille, etc.) and had a Neal child John b. ca 1839 and another one William H. b. 1847. She could have been a widow or single when she married him. Her father could have been either John or William. I do not know what the H. stands for as William's middle name. It could be Mary's mother's maiden name. I have checked every record that I can find but cannot locate this Mary. The cemetery does not have the name of her parents not does the funeral director. There is no death record or obit. I started searching for her prior to computers and I have posted many times but never receive a response. PLEASE - does anyone know anything about this Mary Vance. She died in 1874 in Allegheny Co., PA. In 1870 she and her son William H. lived in Dixmont, Ohio Twp., Allegheny Co., PA. Their neighbor was John M. Crawford and family and Henry Hohmann and family. I thank you for any suggestions that you might send to me. Clare
