Burials at McNeil Cemetery,
Griffith Creek Rd, Floyd County, VA.
From Daniel’s Run Rd, turn onto Lick Ridge Rd and then right onto Griffith
Creek Rd.
This is James McNeill’s list; he
was our 3rd cousin. James
cleaned up this overgrown cemetery in 2008; he put a nice fence around it and
put up a durable sign. James visited
Uncle Johnny often in the last few years of Uncle Johnny’s life—and took him to
visit the cleaned-up cemetery. Sadly, James was killed in a horrific car wreck
at the foot of Bent Mountain on Mar 22, 2011; his daughter Dreama is receptionist
at Dr. Kuiken’s office in Floyd. NOTE: Dreama McNeill
Eanes died in 2022.

in the 1890 Census of Floyd County, age 90 (compiled by Marjorie Fluor
Moore). [NOTE: I cannot understand why
James Ireson McNeil, our great-grandfather, did not erect stones for his
parents. From all accounts, he was a smart and prosperous man, for the times.]

Smith McNeil, #5 above). One of his children was well-known Floyd County

his daughters was Elfreeda McNeil who married Paul
Duncan, owner/founder of all the Duncan Auto businesses in New River Valley,
Roanoke Valley, and Franklin County.]
