Neale.
In colonial days, this was a very. nu-
mcrous family in the Northern Neck
of Virginia. and given names so repeated
in each branch, 1t seems almost impos-
stble to Strengthen out the various lines.
They intcrmarried with the Prcsleys,
rhorn,ons, Shaplcighs, Mathews. Spcn-
! GERS, aud many other families. Surely
some of these descendants arc still living
in Westmorcland Northumberland. and
| other near by counties. who can render
