Notes: McNeill family tradition holds that "Sailor Hector" and his brother "Shoemaker John" were young boys when their father immigrated to North Carolina in 1740. It has been said also that Hector got his knickname during the Revolution but Sailor Hector is found first using "Sailor" with his name in the 1771 Bladen County tax list, living with his father Neill McNeill and a man named John Hart. "Sailor Hector" settled just south of Sizemore Branch (the stream that bisects the Red Springs School property) in Red Springs on the hill where the J.A. Hodgin home stood near the McNeill cemetery in town. Mary's will was executed 2 Feb 1818 and probated Feb 1819.
