Virgil, I am a direct descendent of Francis D. Veal, brother of Nathan and William, through his son Lewis David Veal and wife Nancy L. Anderson. I have researched this line thoroughly and have lots of information on it. Are you a descendent of this line or another one. Let me know and I will start looking at my documents.'
Francis died in Hancock County which is now part of Baldwin County and his son Lewis died in September or October 1837 at his home inDeKalb County, GA. At least that is what the documents regarding his pension for the War of 1812 states. I am trying to find out exactly where his home was located and cannot find his grave either. Nancy and the children moved to Russell County, AL after 1840 and she died in 1850/1851 and I have copies of all of the "original" documents contained at the courthouse in Phenix City, AL. The seal on the folder containing the documents was not broken until sometime in the 1980's by another cousin doing research. Let me know if any of this is in your line.
