Mary Nealey

Notes:

Several records show Mary to be born in Pittsylvania County Virginia. However, Pittsylvania county did not exist until 1767 and the earliest settlement of the area did not occur until 1738, so it is unlikely that Mary was born in the Pittsylvania County area.

It is possible that William Nealey (Mary's father) is the same William Neely in the 1757 tax list for Martic township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Along with Hugh Reynolds and William Divin.

Mary Neely (found spelled several ways) was the daughter of William Neely of Tomahawk Creek, VA (Callands). Hugh Reynolds bought his land adjacent to William Neely's and Married his daughter Mary. Their son's Joseph and William. Joseph married Margaret Devin and Nancy Ford.

Her father's will (Wm. Neely) will was proved in 1788; both she and Hugh Reynolds were alive at that time.

Mary married Hugh Reynolds on 30 Dec 1756 in Muddy Run, Martic, Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania. Hugh was born about 1740 in Prob. Pennsylvania; died about 1810 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. [Group Sheet]
