Excursus Neel
Thomas Neel, born 9 January 1794, at Yorkville, York District, South Carolina, was the son of Thomas, and Margaret Neel. His parents died when he was quite young. From an old paper recording a lease of land by William McMurray, and Thomas Neel it is learned that Robert Leslie was the guardian of Thomas Neel II, then seven years old.

There are in the possession of family several original papers regarding a tract of land in York District, South Carolina which was inherited by Thomas Neel from his father, and mother. In a paper drawn in Hancock County, Georgia, 9 October, 1819, where the subject of this sketch was living at the time, power of attorney is given to James Campbell, Sr., to look after the said land in South Carolina. Mention is made in the document that this land was formerly in the possession of Thomas Neel, Sr., deceased.

The oldest paper referring to this land is one on which is drawn a plat of the said 365 acres of land underneath which it is written:

"I have surveyed for Margaret Neel a tract of land containing Three hundred, and sixty-five acres in the Indian Claim in the Catawba Nation in York County, and the State of South Carolina, and hath such shape, form, and marks as the above plat represents.

Surveyed the 3rd day of April, 1794. Will Boyd."

Note: Thomas Neel was one of the original trustees of Mount Zion Baptist Church, organized in 1831 in Hancock County, Georgia. His headstone in the church's cemetery reads that he "died in his 64" (presumably 64th year--the stone is broken off after "64")
