Notes

Biography of William Neal sights his birthdate as 13 Apr 1815. The Neal Family Tree lists it as 4/3/1819. The tree appears to conflict with the presumed birthdate for Daniel, making the biography date more likely. However, note that this date preceeds the marriage of Lewis Neal and Millie Cox. ---- William Neal and family moved from Bartholomeu County Indiana to Joliet, Illinois in 1842; in 1844 they moved back to Indiana, and from there to Kentucky, then to Andrew County, Missouri, in 1845; after which they came to Oregon in 1850. ----------------------------------------------------------------- !Census (1860) of Marion Co., Oregon: Neal, W., 39, M, b.
