Notes

The Neal Family tree records her birthdate as 6/4/1817. Another source had 19 May 1813, but this appeared to be in conflict with sibling Daniel K.'s birthdate, making the first more credible. The Neal family history claims that she was the First white child born in the state of Indiana. While she was certainly one of the earliest born in that part of Indiana, it appears that her first cousin, John Ruddick, son of William and Elizabeth (Wilson) Ruddick, was born in Browntown Twp., Jackson Co., Indiana in 1812, the year prior to her birth. There may be others as well, but this one instance does seem to refute the claim.. Her husband, William Neal, was the second white child born in the state of Indiana. (of course, see above refutation) !Census (1880) Grant Co., Oregon: Mahaly Neal, F, 65, wife of William Neal, b. Indiana, Father b. Kentucky, Mother b. Kentucky. !Census (1900): Neal, Mahaly, wife, F, b. 1816, age 83, Mar. 60 years, b. Indiana, Father born Kentucky, Mother born Kentucky.
