Hi Tracy,
I saw your note on the South Dakota group. I am also researching primarily in Clark and Codington Counties. My ancestors in this area came there primarily in the 1880s and 1890s. I am researching the Philp, Brown, Veeder, Evans, Lenz, and associated families. If you would like to be friends on here and/or share tips/ideas, let me know. :-)
Tracy, would you be willing to share your information about your Cox' s in NC. I have been trying to find out the parents of my GGG Grandfather William Cox I have found him in Sangamon County, Ill and then he moved to Southern MO. The story was that he was from TN. Census shows that he was born in VA or NC. Someone else asked me about the Quaker connection but I had not heard that. Anything little thing that you have that I could check out I would appreciate it. Thanks for your consideration, Debra
I apologize that I am just now seeing your question over a year later.
I still have no idea where in North Carolina these McNeils were
before going down into Georgia, supposedly before Daniel, Sr.'s birth in 1791.
We don't know where that was in Georgia either.
The first he appears is in Amite Co., MS, when he married in early 1814.
His birth date is from his tombstone.
In Amite Co. records their name was usually spelled McNeil but sometimes McNeal.
I have never seen it with 2 "L's," though that might not mean anything either.
So I really don't know whether Daniel and his McNeils were ever
in Mitchell or Yancey Counties in NC or not.
