Cathy,
Thanks for your response.I am the 4th great granddaughter of Joanna Neale and Jeremiah Foster.I think that makes us sixth first cousins.
I have Benjamin and five daughters as the children of Joseph and Mary Neale.However,I do not have a Catey.I have Judith who married George B. Maddox January 1793.I believe Catey is the offspring of another Joseph Neale who also had a son Joseph, Jr.
I base this on a Fleming County, Kentucky deed, dated 4 August 1803, in which Jeremiah and Joanna Neale Foster and George and Judith Neale Maddox transferred their interest in 1000 acres of patented land in Bullett County, Ky to their brother Benjamin.The deed refers to their being legatees of the late Joseph Neale, Dec'd of Fauquier County, Va.It refers specifically to the five daughters and names them.Benjamin is described as being "of Hampshire Co., VA (now West Virginia.)I do not have a copy of the original deed but have a copy of an abstract.
I also recommend that you check out "Abstracts of Rev. War Pension Files," pg. 2472, if you haven't done so already.Benjamin's appplication is well laid out.If you have any trouble finding this reference, let me know your e-mail address and I'll send the passage.
I have a few other items, I'll be glad to share and would love to have whatever additional info you can send.
Following the Neale's in Virginia is confusing but I'm sure we will get it all unravelled eventually.
