Hello everyone,

I have an ancestor James Peery NEEL/NEAL  who I have found in Tazewell Co.
VA and based on the
census records and other records I have determined the following about my
GGG Grandfather.

James Peery NEAL was b. 11 Apr 1810 in VA and d. 6 Aug 1880 Tazewell Co.VA.
He married
Delilah KIRK the daughter of William and Margaret (Brooks) KIRK.  According
to death records for
Tazewell Co. VA my James Peery NEAL was the son of Calvan NEAL and Nancy
(??) Neal.

The children of James Peery NEAL and Delilah included (per 1850 census)
Peggy (Margaret), Nancy,
William, Frances, John (Jonathan), Louisa, and Samuel.  In the 1880 census I
found James P NEEL
and Delilah NEEL living with their son Jonathan A. NEEL.

Does anyone know if there is a connection with the PEERY family of Tazewell
Co. VA and the NEAL
family?  Does anyone have a reference for a Calvan NEEL/NEAL who would have
been born probably
before 1790 as James was born in 1810 in VA.  I found a Nancy PEERY in VA
records.  Might she
have married Calvan NEAL and thus be a parent of James Peery NEAL?
