The Neel family located in York County, Pennsylvania, prior to the Revolution, and many of the descendants later resided in Mifflin township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.

He, with five brothers, served in the Revolutionary War, some of his brothers being killed at the battle of Germantown. Two of his brothers were later killed by Indians near Turtle Creek, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. Thomas Neel attained the rank of lieutenant, and at the battle of Germantown carried Captain Marshal, either dead or alive, on his back for a distance of about a mile. He was a member of the Fifth Company of Colonel Watson's battalion.

He was the father of twelve children, Dorcas, being the sixth or seventh in order of birth. The members of the Neel family were Democrats in politics.
