Notes: Cy McNeill said in his history of the McNeills that Godfrey McNeill and his wife came
over from Scotland about 1760. According to local tradition, Godfrey's
home was located at the McLeod Crossing (used to be called Godfrey's Crossing) on the Old Lowry Road just west
of Red Springs, NC. About 1775, a Godfrey McNeill offered to buy the plantation 'Troy,' Dugald McNeill's plantation on the Cape Fear River, on the Cape Fear River from Hector McAlester who had returned to Scotland. Our Godfrey McNeill is probably related to the Godfrey
McNeill who is said to have come over from Scotland in 1773 to visit the
area for prospective Scots settlers.
