    Hello. I'm a Neely as well, I was informed my great grandfather was the son of a slave, my family is also from Tennessee. Is there anyway I could contact you? I've been trying to trace my roots for a while now and happened to stumble across this site, anymore info you may have could be a huge help. Thank you for this posting.
    Kind regards
