Citing the GARDINER books by Thomas Richard Gardiner, op.cit., p . 1:
"Dorothy Neale, born 1638 in Spain; died in Amptill Grange, Lothian ,MD.
She married 1665, in Wallaston Manor, Charles County, Maryland to Roger
Brooke, son of Robert Brooke and Mary Mainwaring. Dorothy Neale, daughter
of Captain James Neale and his Spanish Anna Romera, was born in Spain
where her father was employed by King Charles I of England as a foreign
diplomat. In 1663 her father arranged to have all of his children trans-
ported to the Maryland Colony. They were Mary Ann, Dorothy, Henrietta
Maria, James Jr., and Anthony. Their mother, apparently was decease dfor
a number of years, for in 1664 her father married his second wife, Ann Gill,
daughter of Benjamin Gill. By this second marriage, Captain James Neale
and Ann Gill had two daughters; Monica, who married William, the eldest
son of Major William Boarman, and his first wife, Sarah Sinley, and Jane,
who also married a Boarman. In 1665, Dorothy Neale married Roger Brooke,
son of Robert Brooke and his second wife, Mary Mainwaring.
On 3 December 1670, Captain James Neale deeded 350 acres of land called
"Amptill Grange" to his daughter Dorothy Brooke and his son-in-law Roger
Brooke, which was located on the west side of the northern fork of the
Patuxent River, then in Calvert County but which is now located in Prince
George's County in the vicinity of Lothian. (References concering all the
above are found in the Land Patents Liber 6 Folio 209; Liber 4 Foli o543;
Liber 16 folio 3 & 4 and the will of Captain James Neale, probated 29
March 1684.)"

!COMMENT:
See comment under notes for Captain James Neale with regard to th eaccuracy
of the foregoing information provided by Mr. Gardiner.

.
!NOTES:
For some reason, not substantiated, Thomas Richard Gardiner in hi sbook
DESCENDANTS OF WYLLYAM GARDYNYR, asserts in Vol. 1, pg 80 that Henrietta Neal
was married to Phillip Ford in 1768 in Oakley, St. Mary's County, Maryland, not
John. Our earlier research indicates that Henrietta and John Ford had a son,
Phillip, mentioned in John's will. John refers to his wife, Henrietta, in his
will as well and I am inclined to discount Mr. Gardiner's assertion.
Mr. Gardiner also mentions Henrietta Neale in Vol. II of his boo kwhich
traces the Descendants of James Neal and states on page 10:
"Henrietta Neale, born 1746 in Canoe Neck, Oakley, Maryland. Sh emarried
1768, in Oakley, St. Mary's County, Maryland to Philip Ford of Society Hill,
Leonardtown. They had several children, one of whom was Clara, who married
Dr. Richard Edelen of Lanterman, near Bryantown, Charles County."
However, the book MARRIAGES AND DEATHS, ST. MARY'S COUNTY, MARYLAN D,
1634-1900 does not reflect this marriage. It does show the marriag eof a
Henrietta Neale to John Ford, Sr. about 1746/8, to Basil Brooke by 1760, and
to John Ford by 1766. The last noted marriage records the marriage of
this Henrietta and John Ford and is correctly reflected in our record.

!NOTES:
There is a reference to a Henrietta Maria Neale on page 32 of PIONEERS OF
OLD MONOCACY, 1721-1743, by Grace L. Tracey & John P. Dern. It indicates that
she was married (1) to Richard Bennett (d. 1667) and (2) to Philemo nLloyd
(1646-1685). Her great grand-daughter Ann Mary Chew married Willia mPaca,
governor of Maryland 1782-1785. These marriages are confirmed by Thomas Richard
Gardiner in his book. (See notes under her father).

See THE MARYLAND SEMMES AND KINDRED FAMILIES, by Harry Wright Newman,
The Maryland Historical Society, Baltimore, 1956 (FHL 929.273Se53n ) p288:

"The Neale family of Charles County with the background and positionwhich it held in England and later in the Colonies takes its placeamong the leading aristocratic colonial families of America. Theprogenitor was Captain James Neal, Gent., son of Raphael Neal, ofDrury Lane, London, and Wollaston, Northhamptonshire, who at the ageof 3 in 1618 appeared in the Visitation of Bedfordshire. (The materialin Semmes and Allied Families, published in 1918, stating that theNeales were from a long line of ancient Irish Kings is erroneous. Forthe English background, see the "Visitation of Bedfordshire," HarleanSociety Publications, vol. 19, pp. 33, 43 ; also Christopher Johnson'sarticle on the Neale family in the Maryland Historical Magazine, vol.7, p. 201.) And the family's rights to the use of armorial
bearinags are unquestionable.

"James Neale, a royalist, maintained an enviable position at the courtof Charles I, and it has been stated many times that his wife, AnneGill, was one-time lady-in-waiting to Queen Henrietta Maria. The 17thcentury ring which has come down to posterity is testimony of hisdevotion to the Crown and was worn in that day by the Stuartians indefiance of the Cromwellians. Tradition has it that it was given bythe Queen to Madam Deale, one of her maids of honour. (It is a hingedring of blue enamel set in gold with a jewel in the center. Theminiature in enamel is a full face showing a white collar, darkdoublet and a blue ribbon denoting an order. The size would indicatethat it was made for a small feminine finger. The ring is now in theMaryland Historical Society, having been given by Clara GoldsboroughHollyday, a descendant. Also was given a pendant which had belongedto Henrietta Marie Neale, oldest daughter of Captain James Neale.

"The curator of British and mediaeval antiquities of the BritishMuseum, writing in 1923, stated that the ring would "certainly appearto date from the 17th century, but the ring is English and the pendantis of Spanish origin. Enamelled memorial rings in memory of Charles Iwere made in considerable numbers after his death for adherents of theHouse of Stuarts. I should say that yours belongs to this class, thatis, it is a Stuart ring warn in memory of the beheaded king.")

"On July 25, 1641, Cecilius, Lord Baltimore, requested his brotherGovernor Leonard Calvert to survey for James Neale, Gent., a manor of2,000 acres, with full manorial rights. He named his manor"Wollaston" after his paternal grandfather's lordship inNorthhamptonshire, and it was accordingly laid out on the west bank ofthe Wicomico River on the neck formed as the river meets the Potomac.The 17th century manor house stood there as late as 1900.

"His first attendance at an early Assembly was in August, 1642, but byApril, 1643, he had been appointed to the Privy Council. This officeof state was soon followed by his appointment as one of theCommissioners of the Treasury. In 1644 he was commissioned amagistrate of the local court.

"After September 18, 1644, he returned to England and was absent fromhis Maryland holdings for fully 15 years, but before departing hecommissioned Nathaniel Pope his attorney and presumably made him thesteward of his manor and manager of his other Maryland interests.

"From 1644 to 1659 during the Civil Wars and the Puritan supremancy hewas either in England or in Europe as an ambassador for Charles I atthe Spanish and Portuguese Courts and also agent for "his Royallhighness the Duke of Yorke in Severall Emergent Affaires."

"Upon his return to (from?) England, he married Anne Gill, a gentlewoman, the daughter and heiress of Benjamin Gill, Gent., who had cometo the Province about the same time as he, or about 1641. BenjaminGill was a business partner of John Pile, of Sarum, but somehow hisfamily remained in Europe and none of them joined him in Maryland. Hedied in 1658, whereupon Robert Cole, Gent., who had come fromMiddlesex , declared himself as his nearest of kin in the Province.

Children of James and Anne (Gill) Neale
1. Henrietta Maria Neale married (1) Richard Bennett and (2) Philemon Lloyd.
2. James Neale married (1) Elizabeth Calvert and (2) Elizabeth Lord.
3. Dorothy Neale married Roger Brooke.
4. Anthony Neale married (1) Elizabeth Roswell and (2) ElizabethDigges.
5. Jane Neale married William Boarman.

"On January 9, 1660/61, Lord Baltimore addressed a communication tohis Maryland Governor to the effect that Captain James Neale had beenabsent for some years, but was desirous of returning with his family.Accordingly, he sailed on November 16, 1660, from the Isle of Wight inan English ship with
instructions from His Lordship for the Governor of Maryland to reducethe Dutch on Delaware Bay who were encroaching upon his sovereignty.

"He was immediately appointed to his former seat in the Council, butsome political change occurred ultimately, and he seemed to have losthis seat in the Upper Chamber. In 1666, however, he entered the LowerHouse as a delegate from Charles County.

"In 1666 he petitioned the General Assembly to naturalize his fourchildren by his wife Anne who had been born during his "divers yearesin Spain and Portugall," namely, Henrietta Maria, James, Dorothy, andAnthony.

"With the encroachment of the Dutch on Delaware Bay and settlementsmade up the river prior to Penn's expedition, Lord Baltimore wasanxious to cement his claims, thereupon on July 20, 1669, he madeNeale the commander of that area. "I Pray cause that portion ofDelaware Bay on which the Dutch are Seated and a convenient quantityof Land to it to be Erected into a County and appoint the said CaptainNeale Commander of it." The Maryland settlement in that area wasknown as Whorekill, but an actual county with Captain Neale asCommander apparently did not materialize.

"On December 24, 1681, he deeded to his son and heir, James, one halfof Wollaston Manor with the understanding that he would enjoy fullmanorial rights. In August, 1682, a pre-nuptial agreement was madebetween him and William Roswell, of St. Mary's County, Gent., wherebyhe made a deed of gift
of the remaining portion of the manor to his second son, Anthony, inconsideration of his bethrothal to Elizabeth, the daughter of WilliamRoswell.

"Captain Neale died testate in 1683. His will, dated November 27,1683, was probated in Charles county on March 29, 1684.

To sons James and Anthony confirmation of gifts already made.
To grandson Raphael Neal 100 acres which had been purchased from Arthur
Turner.
To grandchildren Roger, James and Dorothy Brooke livestock but theywere
to be retained by his son, Anthony, and his son-in-law, William Boar-
man, until grandchildren came of age.
To granddaughter Jane, daughter of William and Jane Boarman,personalty.
To grandson James Lloyd, 5,000 lbs. of tobacco.
To the poor of St. Giles' Parish near London, L5 to be distributed by
Father Henry Warren.
His sons were to pay their mother 10,000 lbs. tobacco annually duringher
life.
To wife Anne, son Anthony, and daughters Henrietta Maria Lloyd andJane
Boarman residuary estate.

"The Original will of Captain Neale is on file at the Hall of Records. It shows his signature in a very intelligent hand besides which is anin distinct impression of a seal in red wax. Under a magnifying glassone of the charges could be a helmet above an armorial shield. Theimpression being so faint,
no definite conclusion can be made.

"Madam Neale died in 1698. Her will dated June 28, 1697, was admittedto probate in Charles County on June 3, 1698. Personalty wasbequeathed to her sons, James and Anthony, and their wives, also toher granddaughter, Mary Neale, and to her grandchildren, the childrenof William Boarman.

See GARDINER GENERATIONS AND RELATIONS by Thomas Richard Gardiner ,Vol.
II, Gardiner Relations, Descendants of James Neale, pg 1, for thefollowing:

"Captain James Neal, son of Hugh O'Neill and of (Mother unknown) born1607 in Ulster, Ireland; died 25 Mar 1684 in Wollaston Manor, CobbNeck, Charles County, Maryland. He married (1) 1632, in Spain to AnnaRomera; and married (2) 1643, in St. Mary's County, Maryland to AnnGill. Captain James Neale first entered Maryland as early as 1642 andwas a member of the Provincial Council to 1644. (Maryland Archives,Vol 3, pp 78, 118, 120, and 131-139.) On 1 September 1642 he arrivedat Boston with two pinnaces, commissioned by Governor Leonard Calvert,to buy mares and sheep. While there he lost a pinnace to sea wormsand it had to be abandoned. When the Civil War in England began, hereturned and fought for the King, Charles I. In 1660 he returned toMaryland and began petitioning the assembly for the naturalization ofAnna, his Spanish wife, and his five children. His first wife, AnnaRomera, apparently died before his five children were transported tothe Maryland Colony in 1663. In 1664 he married his second wife , AnnGill, daughter of Benjamin Gill. In 1642 he applied for and wasgranted "all that neck of land lying between the Potomac River and theWicomico River and all that land on St. Raphael's Creek and St. JamesCreek and a small island", patent dated 24 April 1661. The smallisland mentioned must have been Cobb Island, as it is known today.His will dated 27 November , 1683, was probated in Charles County on29 March, 1684, and names sons James and Anthony, grandson RaphaelNeale, grandchildren Roger Brooke, Jane Boarman and Henrietta Lloyd,and wife Ann Neale."

JJS COMMENTS:
The above two accounts vary in significant matters. The Semmesarticle does not mention a Mary Ann Neale; it does not mention amarriage to Anna Romera and attributes Henrietta Maria, James,Dorothy, Anthony and Jane Neale to Anne (Gill) Neale; it does notmention Monica Neale; it states that James was born in London,England, not Ulster, Ireland, and specifically states that claims thatJames descended from the O'Neill clan are erroneous.

Based on other experiences of inaccuracies in the Gardiner books , Iam
inclined to go with the Semmes account as the more accurate.

NOTES:
See THOMAS JENKINS OF MARYLAND 1670, by Edward Felix Jenkins, pg 3 11:

"JAMES NEALE, immigrant, born about 1615, came to Maryland probably in1636. (Father Jenkins quotes:)

"19 June 1641, James Neale, Gentleman, demands 1000 acres of land fortransporting himself and 5 servants into the Province since th e year1635." He was granted a warrant for 1000 acres but also a specialwarrant from Lord Baltimore dated London, 25 July, 1641, by the termsof which he received a patent dated 31 October 1642, for a manor of2,000 acres to be called "Wollaston Manor", with Court Leet and CourtBaron. This meant he was Lord of the Manor with the right to try andrender judgment in certain matters concerining the tenants . ThisManor, situated in what was later to be Charles County, was long theprincipal residence of the Neale family.

"The Neales were prominent in Provincial government until 1689 whenthe
Maryland Legislature passed a law making it impossible for anyone tohold
office in the Province unless he took an oath (the test oath) that hewas
not a Roman Catholic. This the Neals refused to do, even with mentalreser-
vations as some did, and they retired from public affairs for nearly100
years.

"James Neale was a member of the Council of Maryland, 1643-4, and in1661-2; he was a Burgess for Charles County 1665-6; Captain to raisetroops against the Dutch, 1661; and Commissioner of the Treasury ,1643. In 1644 he returned to England and spent the next 15 yearseither there or on the continent as a representative of his RoyalHighness, The Duke of York, afterwards, James II, in the courts ofSpain and Portugal. It was during this period that he married MissAnna Gill, who was Lady in Waiting to Queen Henrietta Maria ofEngland, the wife of King Charles I. It is said that the Queen was theGod-mother of their first child, Henrietta Maria Neale. Anna Gill,wife of James Neale, was the daughter of Benjamin Gill of Maryland.Her father had been a business partner of John Pile of Sarum andalthough he migrated to Maryland in 1642, somehow the other members ofJames Neale's children were born in Europe. He returned to Marylandwith his family in 1660.
"In 1669 he was made Commander of Whorekill on the Eastern Shore , asa
buffer settlement against the encroachment of the Dutch on DelewareBay. He
was styled Captain in all offical records.
"Captain James Neale died testate in Charles County, Maryland, in1683.
His widow, Anna died testate in 1698.

"James Neale, son of Raphael and Jane Neale was, according to theVisitation pedigree (Visitations of Bedfordshire, Harl. soc., xix ,43, 125, 185) "3 yere old 1618," and was therefore born in 1615. Hecame to Maryland about 1636 or 1637. On 19 June 1641, James Neale ,Gent., demands 1000 acres of land due him for transporting himself andfive servants into the Province "since the year 1635" (Land Office,Lib ABH, fol. 95; Md. HIst. Mag., vi, 200), and he appears upon recordas living in Maryland in 1638 (Md. Archives, iii, 78), so th at hemust have arrived in the Province between 1635 and 1648. Inaccordance with his entry of rights, mentioned above, he received awarrant for 1000 acres which he assigned to Thomas Hebden. But he hadreceived a special warrant from Lord Baltimore, dated at London 25July, 1641, and by the terms of this warrant he received a patent,dated 31 October 1642, for a manor of 2000 acres "to be calledWolleston Manor, with Court Leet and Court Baron" etc. (Md.Hist.Mag.vi, 201- 202). This manor, situated in what was later Charles Countywas long the principal residence of the Neale Family. The fact thatJames Neale called his Maryland manor "Wollaston," is a strongindication of his descent from the Northamptonshire family, and it maybe prett y safely assumed that he was the son of Raphael Neale ofDrury Lane, London, and of Wallaston, Co. Northampton, mentioned inthe Visitation pedigree.

"In 1684, James Neale leaves by will "to the poor of St. Giles Parish,near London, 5 pounds -- to be sent to Mr. Henry Varrin." Thisundoubtedly refers to the Parish of St. Giles in the Fields, then andfor some time thereafter on the outskirts of London, and it wasevidently James Neale's former residence. Drury Lane passes didrectlythrough this parish.

"Taken in connection with other points, this bit of evidence wouldseem to leave little doubt of the identity of James Neale of Marylandwith James Neale "3 yere old 1618," the son of Raphael Neale of DruryLane, London and Wallaston, Co. Northampton.

"It should be noted that James Neale of Maryland had a grandsonRaphael Neale, and that the name occurs in later generations. In1642, James Neale was sent to Boston with two pinnaces (sailingvessels) , commissioned by Gov. Calvert to buy mares and sheep. Hearrived in Boston September 1st, but failed in his object, having hismoney in drafts on Lord Baltimore, not then negotiable on account ofthe war in England. One of the pinnaces was so rotten and worm-eatentha t it had to be abandoned (Neill's TERRA MARIAE, pp. 73-74).

"James Neale was commissioned, 15 April 1643, a member of the Councilof Maryland (Md. Archives, iii, 131). In January 1643/4, he wasindicted for aiding in the escape of Richard Ingle and his ship, theReformation (Md. Archives, iv, 232) and, 11 February following, he wassuspended from the Council for not filing an answer to the indictment(ibid. 250). He filed his answer, however, four days later (15February), and the suspension was vacated and all proceedings againsthim stopped on the 12th of March (Md. Archives, iv, 252, 258). 18November 1643, he was appointed one of the Commissioners of theTreasury for the Province of Maryland (Md. Archives, iii, 140) and 18September 1644, he was again commissioned Councillor (ibid. 159).

"Between this last date and the year 1647 he returned to Europe,leaving his father-in-law, Benjamin Gill, as his attorney andrepresentative (Md. Archives, iv. 332, 265, 500). During his absencefrom the Province he resided in Spain and Portugal, where he wasengaged in commerce, and was also employed in various affairs by theKing and the Duke of York (Md. Archives, ii, 90)

"In 1660 he was the agent of Lord Baltimore at Amsterdam to protectagainst the settlement of the Dutch upon the Delaware (Md. Archives ,v, 414-415). 9 January 1659/60, Lord Baltimore issued a specialorder, reciting that whereas Capt. James Neale, formerly an inhabitantof Maryland, has been absent from the province for some years, and nowdesires to return with his family, there to reside and inhabit, he isto have full liberty so to do, and also to possess such lands as hehas a right to, and to enter and trade freely in any port in Maryland(Md. Archives, iii, 386).

"He returned to Maryland in 1660 and, 20 July of the same year, wasappointed commander in chief of an expedition to expel the Dutch fromDelaware Bay, but the expedition was not considered advisable by theCouncil, and was therefore deferred until further orders from LordBaltimore (Md. Archives, iii, 427-428). James Neale qualified as amember of the Council 12 October 1661 (Md. Archives iii, 434), and satduring the ensuing year, the last Council meeting he attended being 9April 1662 (ibid. 448). He is not included in the writ issue d 20July 1663 (Md. Archives, i, 460). He represented Charles County inthe Assembly 1665-1666 (Md. Archives, ii, 8, 10).

"In 1683, he was appointed one of the Commissioners for laying outtowns and ports in Charles County (Md. Archives, vii, 611). In 166 6,he petitioned for and obtained the naturalization of his childrenHenrietta Maria, James, Dorothy, and Anthony Neale, born of Anne hiswife during the time of his abode in foreign parts (Md. Archives, i i,90). His wife Anne was the daughter of Benjamin Gill of CharlesCounty.

"Captain James Neale of Charles County died in 1684 leaving a willdated 27 November 1683, proved 29 march 1684 (Annapolis, Lib. 4, fo l.40). In it he leaves "to my sons James and Anthony Neale, all thosetracts of land, negroes, Etc. which I have formerly given them. To mygrandson Raphael Neale, all that 100 acres of land I bought of A rthurTurner in Charles County. To my grandchildren, Roger, James, andDorothy Brooke, personal estate, and I appoint my son-in-law WilliamBoarman to oversee it.

To mydaughter Henrietta Maria Lloyd, personal estate, Etc."

"The will of Anne Neale of Charles County, widow of James, is dated 28June 1697, and was proved 3 June 1698 (Charles Co., Lib. A. no . 2,fol. 175). Bequests to grandson Henry Neale; grand-daughter MaryNeale; grand-daughter Elizabeth Neale; sons Anthony and James Neale ;my grand-children, the children of Mr. William Boarman."
