I am descended from Richard Perry Veal (b 31 Mar 1804 NJ d 1866 MN). I believe he may have been John Veal's brother or other close relative, since in 1849 they bought land right next to each other in Miami County, Indiana (according to US General Land Office records on Ancestry.com).
I have been unable to definitively find who Richard's parents were, however. Do you know if John Veal's parents had a will or any other documentation that listed all of their kids?
