could this be Nancy Neal?

Ben W. Brumfield

Could the location beginning with M on the first line be "Mulberry"? There is a very old Baptist church approximately 10 miles from JWG's plantation Aspen Grove called Mulberry Baptist Church.

Ben W. Brumfield

It doesn't seem likely, since the Nancy Neal mentioned in wikitree is in South Carolina and is an O'Neal.
