Hi Rebecca.

Your family certainly moved a lot!

I did a census search and found your family in the 1850 - 1900 censuses:

Dwelling 139/Family 142

You might check with the Catahoula Parish courthouse to see if there is a probate file for John Neal, as he did own property. You might also check with Orangeburg County, SC to see if they have a marriage record for John and Martha.

Happy Hunting!
Karen
