General Notes: Husband - John Neely


In 1821 John Neely came from Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, to Clarion County and bought the property of a man named Raines [Another source states sellers name was Peters]. Soon after this John Neely wounded himself with an ax. The cut was so severe that he had to return to Westmoreland to receive treatment from a doctor, under whose care he was kept for a year. He then came back to his land that he had bought of Raines. His wound had somewhat disabled him for hard work, so he bought his father's stills and erected the first still-house built in Beaver township. It stood below the spring, where E. J. Neely's barn would later stand. [HCC 1887, 445]

A farmer and stock-raiser by occupation, he be-came the owner of a valuable tract of 212 acres, which he placed under a high state of cultivation and well improved. He was a Jacksonian Demo-crat in politics, took an active interest in public affairs, and creditably filled some township of-fices. For many years he served as elder or deacon in the Reformed Church, of which he was one of the most active and zealous members, and he was one of the most liberal supporters of the old stone Church in Beaver township.

Another source states that he and his wife had sixteen children. It could be that Polly Ann and Mary Ann are actually the same person, although listed separately in CBRCP.


General Notes: Wife - Mary Ann Berlin


She died at the age of forty-four.
