Preface: In November 2010, David Lear wrote to us
concerning the McNeal family records referenced in the records of Old Zion and
First Generation
1. James1 McNeal was
born in
He married Sarah Webb 7 March 1772 in Douglassville,
A brief account of this family is found on page 61 of A
History of the Wapwallopen Region, undated, published by the Wapwallopen
Historical Society. The account was written by Elma C. Bishop of Berwick. Much
of the information was donated to Miss Bishop by unidentified sources and was
undocumented.
James McNeal is said to have come from Scotland aboard the
ship Catharine, landing in Philadelphia on 20 December 1774, but this is
contradicted by a handwritten note on the bottom of page 61, by an unknown
person, which reads as follows: "Sarah Webb, daughter of John Webb Jr. and his
wife Rachel Willets was born July 1, 1753 and married March 7, 1772 in St.
Gabriel's Episcopal Church, Douglassville, Pa to James McNeal. She was 'disowned'
by Exeter Monthly Meeting in 1772." This is confirmed by Hazel A. Spraker on
page 85 of The Boone Family. "4-29, 1772. Sarah Webb, dtr. of John, for
marrying out and by a priest." He could not have been married in
James
McNeal and Sarah Webb had the following children:
2 i.
Rachel2 McNeal was born 14 October 1772.
ii.
Sarah McNeal.
She married Mr. Hughes.
3 iii.
John McNeal was born 1 March 1780.
iv.

Samuel McNeal was born circa 1788.
vi.
Margaret McNeal was born 13 September 1790.
She married Mr. Shiner.
Margaret died 27 October 1856.

Update:
I am the great, great, great, great grandson of James McNeal. This is the very James McNeal you document in your 2010 genealogy,
which I discovered recently.
I am sending a photo of his gravesite at Old River Road Church in Wapwallopen PA (see head of the page).
My son, adopted brother, grandson and I placed the Revolutionary War Veteran bronze marker there after receiving it from the US
Veterans Administration about 2005 or so.
You may be a aware of this but the half stone to the left of the bronze is that of Sarah Webb McNeal. Next in line is that of
Margaret McNeal, presumably his daughter.
James sold his land to James Santee, excepting for an area (forgot the number of rods and perches) wherein lie the bodies of Sarah
McNeal, Martin Harter and others. How much of it IS still technically James McNeal's land remains to be reestablished when I
re-examine the bill of sale in the Courthouse in Wilkes-Barre. I also recall that I recorded the text of the documents in
my notes. I just need to open the safe and re-examine them.
There is a fascinating story to the rediscovery of his actual grave site which occurred about 1975.
Please respond if you receive my email and I can fill in what I know.
James' son John moved over the mountain to Black Creek Township where my line of McNeals continued. Many of them are buried at
Red Rock Cemetary at St. Paul's Church in Black Creek, PA. I have much history of those McNeals and see that you have
traced many of them.
My name's spelling as "MacNeal". My Grandmother born in Germany convinced the entire family, then in West Hazleton, to change spelling
to reinforce that we were Scottish, not Irish. I'd love to know if you have a Scotland origin other than Barra. Barra would seem
logical as the clan stronghold but there remain questions especially of religion. Barra is majorly Catholic and most McNeals appear to
have been pretty strong Protestants. My whole line has been strongly Protestant.

2. Rachel2 McNeal
