John Neel 1762 - May 18, 1778

The epitaph for the granite lawn style marker is as follows: "JOHN NEEL/1762 - 1778/PATRIOT". The epitaph that appears on the soapstone tablet that John Neel shares with Colonel Thomas Neel is: In/Memory of/John Neel/who departed/this life/ May 18th/1778 in the 16th/year of his Age./The scepterd prince the burthend ?ave/The humble and the haughty die./The poor, the rich, the base, the brave,/In dust without distinction lie.

There are three granite lawn-style markers flush with the ground for Thomas Neel, Jr., Andrew Neel, and John Neel. Additionally, there is a soapstone tablet to the south of the three granite markers. In front of this soapstone tablet is a granite lawn-style marker with a bronze plaque attached to it. The bronze plaque has the following inscription: "REVOLUTIONARY WAR SOLDIER/THOMAS NEEL/COLONEL OF SOUTH CAROLINA/BORN 1739, DIED JUNE 20, 1779/MARKER PLACED BY KINGS MOUNTAIN CHAPTER,/NSDAR,/AND DESCENDANTS/JULY 1999.
