Person:Thomas Neely (8)

Information on Thomas Neely

Thomas NEELY - b. No. Ireland; d. after 1750, PA. A Jun. 22, 1765 deed of York Co., PA secures to Thomas NEELY, Jr. from his siblings land that was granted to Thomas NEELY, Sr. in 1741. This deed does not name son Matthew. Note: There is a difficulty with some dates, since if daughter Mary was about the same age as her husband John McGAUGHEY, and if her husband was born between 1711 and 1715, Thomas NEELY, Sr. was probably born before 1695, some 35 or more years before his supposed brother Richard NEELY. A careful review of available information does not resolve the problem and suggests that Thomas was probably not a brother of Victor NEELY and Richard NEELY.

Children of Thomas NEELY, Sr.:

Jackson - Married Ann and moved to York Co., SC.

Thomas - Married Hannah STAR and moved to Mecklenburg Co., NC.

Mary - A 1765 document suggests that Mary was first married to a Mr. MARSHALL. Married John McGAUGHEY (b. 1711-1715, probably in Northern Ireland; d. 1777, York Co., PA), son of William McGAUGHEY and Margaret. Refer to the McGAUGHEY family for additional details. Children of Mary and John: Thomas married Margaret MARSHALL (daughter of William MARSHALL); Alexander; Jann (daughter); Jean married; Mary; and Martha.

John - Married Susannah.

Samuel - Married Jane and resided in PA.

Matthew - Reported, but unconfirmed son of Thomas NEELY, Sr. Moved to Craven Co., SC.
