Minor Neale's mother, Susan Williams Neale, had married John Osborn. She was once again widowed after only a few years. John Williams was the administrator of Osborn's estate, so a copy of the will of John Osborn will was also sent to Columbia, county seat of Boone County, Missouri.
1821 Tax Records of Boone County, MO show Neale owned 160 acres with one dwelling, two slaves, two horses over 3 years old, 1 cow. He had no carriage and was not married.
