    1. [WVJackson] Huffman/Neal Plantation
    2. My gggg & ggg grandfathers Thomas Huffman & John Stuart Huffman purchased 500 acres of Jackson County, VA/WV property on 6 December 1842, referred to as the "Neal Plantation." This information comes from Jackson County Deed Book 9 pages 454-455 in a deed transaction dated 11 May 1853, where Thomas Huffman's "heirs-at-law" (children) sold the property to their mother Margaret Huffman. Also on 11 May 1853, Margaret Huffman, Thomas' widow, sold 400 of the 500 acres to a Benjamin Boggess. This is from Jackson County Deed Book 9 page 456. I am not privy to & have not viewed the original deed of sale, in which the "Neal Plantation" was sold to Thomas Huffman & John Stuart Huffman. (I would definitely like to see it.) Also, Jackson County land records, mention a deed of "bargain & sale" re: said property on 14 April 1847 where a Henry Middleton is mentioned. Does anyone have any information on the 500 acre parcel of property once called the "Neal Plantation?" Do you know where it might have been located? I believe that the location is somewhere in the vicinity where Jackson County borders the Poca District of Kanawha County. It may have been somewhere between Goldtown, Jackson County & Sissonville, Kanawha County. Does anyone know the history of the Neal family? Thank you in advance for any information or guidance. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Mike Peters npeters102@aol.com
