General Notes: Husband - Alexander Neal, Sr.


He was a soldier in the War of 1812. At an early age he settled in the woods of Pulaski Township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, and there became a large landowner. He was an important figure in the business and social life of the community.

He was born in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, and was one of the early settlers in Pulaski township, Lawrence County, where he took up his residence in 1806. He bought 400 acres of wild land, and worked at clearing and improving it, by his industry providing himself with a comfortable living, and giving his family many advantages usually denied to pioneer settlers. He served in the War of 1812 as a private and a fifer in the fife and drum corps. Politically, he affiliated with the Whigs, and later joined the Republican ranks.
