11. Catherine b. 1791. The youngest of these children were born in Burke Co, NC where James, John and Robert sojourned with their families for several years while making the transition from Botetourt Co, VA to TN and AL. A James and John and their families are listed in the Burke Co, NC 1790 census; James with 5 males with 1 over 16 and 6 females. John listed with 2 males, 1 over 16 and one female. Robert in Halifax Co 1785 tax list. His marriage to Margaret Chissum (2nd wife?) 30 Sep 1790 Halifax Co (signed her own consent).
(JRN notes) #2 ? The Andrew Neelly buried in Maury Co, TN is the ancestor of John W. Neelly and was born in 1763 based on his tombstone inscription, not 1773 which is 7 years before James and Catherine were married. I will make the case later that Andrew was not the son of James and Catherine, but the son of Robert Sr., son of ?old John Neelly?.
