Notes from a descendant:
Younger Neal (1778- 1843)
born in N.,C. and buried in Hickman
County Tenn.
Married Susanna Harrington About
1816l If I am correct these are their children:
William J. Neal (Jan 8, 1817) Chatham
County died in 1895 in Crawford County Ark Palmer Neal (about
1820 N C) died in 1885 in Crawford County next is
Elizabeth Neal (my great grand mother married to Thomas Patrick Poe) was born 1825 in Chatham and died
in Crawford County 1874. the other siblings are
Francis Neal and Joseph Neal
William
J Neal married Margaret Mounce
Robinson I think Palmer Neal may have married someone named
Elmina Neal There was a family in Duncan
Ok. that is from this line. The older of that group
was referred to as Buck Neal

There also is a James Poe, age 35, born in Tennessee.
His family resided in Richland Township which is far away from Cedar Creek
Township where Thomas
Patrick Poe lived.

Crawford County, AR 1870 Census detail
Thomas Poe is listed as 47 (but he is 45). Also, we do not see Elizabeth. A Samantha is
probably housekeeper and not a new wife.
Again we see Palmer Neal nearby

Chatham County, North
Carolina records show a close relationship between
Younger Neal and the Simon Poe Sr family. Thomas
Patrick Poe is almost surely a descendant of Simon Poe SR.

the Same lay of the Same Road.
This
researcher shows that Susanna Harrington is of the Zachariah Harmon family and
we see that Petty connection. This associates this group closely with the
Guilford County, NC Poe group. But Harmon and Petty are associated with several
other Simon Poe SR children.

Goodspeed's History of Crawford
County, Arkansas
Berkeley
Neal, attorney at law of Fort
Smith, was born in Crawford
County, Ark., January
23, 1851, and is a son of William J. and Mouncy (Robinson) Neal. The father was born January 9, 1817, in Chatham County, N. C., and was a son of Younger and Susanna (Harrington) Neal,
natives of the same county, born in 1778 and 1790, respectively.
They moved to Hickman County, Tenn.,
in 1826, where he died in 1843 and she in 1867.
(Note this is Younger Neal, JR
who married Susanna Harrington)
Younger
Neal served some time as sheriff of Chatham
County. William J.
was the third child, and when the Creek Indians came west in 1836 he was
employed as cook for the officers, and went with them to Fort Gibson, Ind.
After roughing it for some time he came to Van Buren,
Ark., and in 1838 married Miss Mouncy Robinson, in Dickson
County, Tenn., who
was born in 1817. The following year he returned to Arkansas,
and has since passed the remainder of his life in Crawford County.
He has been a successful man, at one time
owning a large tract of land, and still has in his possession 440 acres. He has
seven children, all of whom are living
and grown: Jonathan, probate and real estate agent; Francis M., justice of the
peace; Elizabeth, Young, James, Berkeley
and Willis H., attorney at law. Berkeley
lived upon the farm until eighteen, and then clerked in a general store in Van Buren until 1872. He then began
to study law under Benton J. Brown, and was admitted to the bar in 1873,
subsequently practicing two years in
partnership with his former preceptor. Mr. Neal soon became one of the leading
members of the bar in the county, and about 1882 began to practice in the
Federal court at Fort Smith, where he met with such success that January 2,
1888, he moved his office to Fort Smith,
although he still retains an office in Van Buren, and spends two days a
week in that place. In politics Mr. Neal is a Democrat, and although he has
never sought office he was superintendent of the school board of Crawford County for two years. December 14, 1882,
he married Miss Mary Edwards, daughter of Jesse Edwards, and a native of Crawford County. To Mr. and Mrs. Neal one child,
Ollie May, has been born.
Lee
Neal was born August 30, 1847, in Van Buren
County, Ark., and is a son of Joseph and Rosana (Robinson) Neal. The father was born in Chatham
County, N. C., spent his youth in Tennessee, was married in Crawford County, Ark.,
and shortly afterward removed to Van Buren County, Ark. In 1859 he went to Texas; in 1861 he joined
the Eleventh Texas Volunteer Cavalry, and served until discharged. He then
re-entered the Confederate service, remaining until the close of the war, and
participating in thirty-six different engagements, among which were Poison
Spring, Helena, Jenkins' Ferry and others. Since the war he has lived in Crawford County, and is now sixty years old, and
engaged in farming. The mother is a native of Tennessee,
is sixty-two years of age, and is the mother of the following children: Lee,
Melinda (wife of W. S. Lester), Seldon R., Dillis Neal,
America, Laurana (wife of Marcus Lamb), Sarah J. and William E. The
paternal grandfather of our subject spent his entire life in North Carolina.
His
parents were French, (doubtful
by my research) and left their native land on account of the religious
intolerance there. Laurana (Arrington) Neal (This is Laurana Susanna Harrington. See above), subject's
grandmother, was also born in North Carolina,
and after her husband's death immigrated to Tennessee. She died in Crawford
County, Ark. James R. Robinson,
Lee's maternal grandfather, was born in Tennessee,
when sixteen [p.1179] enlisted in the War of 1812, and about 1840 came to Arkansas. He died in Texas. His wife was born
of German parentage, and was reared in Pennsylvania.
Lee Neal accompanied his parents to Texas when
ten years of age, received a good education there, and when seventeen served on
post duty in the McGinnis regiment of Texas
reserved corps. He afterward completed his education in Crawford County, Ark.,
and has since served the county six years as examiner of common free schools.
For the past eight years he has been an ordained minister in the Methodist Protestant Church,
and has charge of two churches. February 6, 1868, he married Serena T. Lester,
daughter of William and Margaret Lester, and a native of this county. Her
parents were both born in Hempstead County, Ky., and came to Arkansas
in an early day. The father died here, but the mother is now a resident of California. Mr. and Mrs.
Neal have three children: Edward J., born March 29, 1868; William A., born
March 2, 1873, and Rosana Maud, born January 14,
1888. After his marriage Mr. Neal farmed and taught school until 1876, and has
since that time been in the mercantile business in Cedarville, in connection
with his farming. Mr. Neal is a public-spirited man, and has represented his
county in the Lower House of the Legislature at Little Rock. He belongs to the Masonic
fraternity and the Patrons of Husbandry. He is a large land owner in the
township, and one of its best citizens. Mrs. Neal belongs to the Methodist Protestant Church.
