George McNeely was one of the Early Settlers of Augusta County, Virginia
__________________________
Parentage of George McNeely
 - Note: the parentage of George McNeely that married Sarah Rutledge is disputed. Some researchers believe he was a son of Robert McNeely (1700-1757), but his son George is NOT named in Robert's will in 1757, making it likely that his son George had died prior to that date.
