Thomas married Martha Ellen Prescott, whose family was from Bountiful, and they settled in the Kamas valley in Utah where I was born and raised. Thanks for the posting about grandpa McNeil. I would love to go to the Showlow reunion some year and meet the Arizona cousins.Earl McNeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06233407110762197876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780824883768425920.post-35848187086957303982018-08-11T05:47:27.171-06:002018-08-11T05:47:27.171-06:00Thank you for posting this.

In fact, I'm pretty sure that in the picture of the 5 sons at May Ann's funeral, my 2nd great grandfather Ben is in the middle (in glasses). I will have my Mom show that picture to my grandma and see if she recognizes him as her Grandpa Ben. Anyway, thanks for the family story. treesyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078525466262213928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780824883768425920.post-26487700568942283502017-06-08T08:15:08.216-06:002017-06-08T08:15:08.216-06:00Jo, thanks for making contact.

The one I posted was told to us quite a few years ago and I just went back and got an updated picture in 2014, because I could not find the one we had taken originally. There is a plaque on the side of the house that says it was John McNeil's, so now I am totally confused. I would really like to figure this out and I would love to see your house.<br /><br />My email is DreamingofKentucky@gmail.com<br /><br />Thanks, VickieVickie Beard Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09188093993517504733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780824883768425920.post-40312201739504373642017-06-08T08:10:09.942-06:002017-06-08T08:10:09.942-06:00John, Sorry I did not answer sooner I did not see...John, Sorry I did not answer sooner I did not see this post till just now.
