I know that I'm somehow connected to the Whitley County area, genealogically speaking. I would love to visit the area and find names that I've only read and written doing my family history. My grandfather, William Henry Neal, was born in the Marsh Creek area. He married Amelia Worley in Winfield, TN, which I understand is not far from the Pine Knot vicinity. Amelia Worley Neal was the daughter of Willis Worley and Jemima Shepherd. My great grandfather was John O. Neal and his wife was Nancy Ryan of the area. John O. Neal's daddy was Daniel Neal or he may have spelled it Neil--I'm not sure. Anyone reading this have any connection to the above names please e-mail me at Bogry@EverestKC.net OK?
Thank you Willis Neal--Kansas City area.
