His father, Spence Neale died soon after Minor was born. Daniel Neale , brother of Spence, was appointed guardian by the courts of Scott County, Kentucky. His mother, Susan Williams Neale married John Osborn a few months after this.

The records of Scott County were destroyed by fire in 1876. However, in 1818 certain Neale family records were sent to the Probate Court of Boone County, Missouri as Neale's uncle, John Williams had taken land there and relocated. 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.

When he was 27, Minor Neale witnessed the will of his uncle, John Williams, which was made in Boone County. He later purchased the farm of William Stone in Lebanon Township, Cooper County, Missouri. Records of the First Baptist Church of Columbia indicate that the week John Williams died Mary Neale died. Doubtless, she was a relative; but her identity hasn't been determined.
