Robert Neely (1802-1881)
Robert Neely, born about 1802 in Chester County, North Carolina, was the son of Matthew Neely and Margaret Stinson.
On April 28, 1822 Robert Neely and Joseph Stinson, a relative of his mother, made bond in Rutherford County, North Carolina, for Robert to apply for a marriage license in anticipation of his wedding to Sarah Elizabeth Russell, daughter of George Russell and Rhoda Reavis. After their marriage, Robert and Sarah Neely remained in North Carolina until at least 1826, when their first daughter, Mary E. Neely, was born. However, before 1832 the family had migrated to Boone County, Missouri, where their remaining five surviving children were born between 1832 and 1841. They migrated again after 1841, this time settling for good in Camden County, Missouri before 1850.
In Camden County, the Neelys settled near the Garrison, Parrish, and Brown families on a Wet Glaize creek bottom farm and as the girls grew up, they began marrying the neighbors' sons. Daughters Mary and Rhoda Malissa married Brown boys. Martha married a Parrish, and Margaret married a Garrison.
Sometime between 1850 and 1860, Sarah (Russell) Neely died, and her burial site is unmarked and not known; it is likely she was buried in the old Garrison Cemetery where they lived in 1850. By 1860 the Browns and Neelys had left that area, leaving behind the moist, mosquito-breeding area which proved to be unhealthy and settled on what is now State Road BB near High Point.
In 1860 Robert Neely was farming and living with a Parrack family; in 1870 he was living with his son, William Burton Neely and his family, and in 1880 he was with John Henry & Mary E. (Neely) Brown. He died soon after, but we do not know when. Presumably his grave was marked at the time of his burial; however, in later years the marker may have been broken by livestock and the grave had only a field stone to mark it until 2010 when a great-great-great granddaughter descended from Lewis S. & Rhoda Malissa (Neely) Brown placed a new granite marker.
