Hi, Judy!
I wanted to say "Thank You" for the information you found! I do have to make one minor correction... The first Sam Neil for 1880 is actually a cousin to my Samuel Neil. The rest of the information is correct for my Sam Neil. /smile
It took alot of looking, and sorting these two out. Sam Neil from the first one in 1880 was a son of Nelson Neil, who was a son of Jesse Neil... Spencer Neil's uncle. This Sam also married an Amanda and raised children in Missouri. If I remember correctly, Nelson also had a son name Fidelo. This Sam Neil is also a few years older than Spencer's son. I want to say he was born in the early 1840ish, where mine is born in the 1850.
It has driven me nuts how this family dubulicate name, but if you were to go and look at what I am sure is Nancy Hill's grandmother, Nancy Royalty Hill; you will find that she may had a possiblities of 3 or 4 granddaughters name Nancy Hill.
I have also track down one of Nancy Royalty Hill's son living on another Indian Reservation in Nevada, Reuben Mason Hill. This family has been rumored and we have pictures that show they were very dark and have very distincted feature for a Native Indian; I am left to wonder about the two different Indian Reservations... Even today you will find some of those feature have been passed down to my own grandmother and uncles and cousins...
Thank you again for the information! I really do appreciate what you have found!!!
