From the Jackson County Message Board:
I found an old book that my great aunt wrote in the 80s about the family. He is what she wrote:
"Nellie's father, Daniel Forney McNear was a native of Tennessee and her mother , Charity Rhodes McNear was born in Roane Co WV. She had four brothers, James "Jim" the oldest married Mary Morgan and they moved to Texas where they lived the rest of their lives. William, "Bill" married Kate Knightep, and they lived mostly in WV. He died at the home of a daughter Ruth Daniels at Glasgow, WV. The third, Harry, married a girl by the name of Grace. They lived in Huntington, WV where he met with a tragic death, having been mistaken for someone else he was killed on his way home from work. The youngest Jessee fell on a knife and killed himself while just a child.
Nellie had 3 sisters, Mary who married Jim Morgan, Hannah Eveline maried to Fred McCullough and Martha, "Mattie" married to Arnold Harper of huntington.
