Is this the John Neale who petitioned Humphrey Warren for freedom from servitude in 1691? If so, then the birth year is probably closer to 1670 instead of 1687.

John Neale to John Ebernathy - M, 2, 261
John Neale to Thomas Lucus - M, 2 ,269

There has been speculation that John Neale may somehow be related to the Capt. James Neale family, also of Charles Co., MD. Here are a few facts gathered on the early Neales:
1) 31 Dec 1619. Raphael Neale was brought in by the Marshal of Middlesex, England (London is in Middlesex) and kept to go to Virginia. This Raphael had been involved in a duel with swords with William Rowe, gentleman. Ordered to appear 13 Apr 1618. This Raphael is the father of Capt. James Neale born in 1615 and emigrated to Maryland in 1635.
2) 4 Jul 1635. Mr. Edward Walker, by certificate from the Minister of Gravesend transported Jonathan Neale, aged 12 from London to Virginia.
3) 26 Apr 1637. Joseph Clifton, ex. of Daniel Hopkinson (merchant). Turned over to John Neale - Francis Seymour, Mr. Wallis' servant at London.
4) 18 Jun 1638. Deposition re: accounts for tobacco rec'd by Francis Smith in Virginia from John Brush, Alexander Gardiner and John Haynee, planter; and John Neale and Capt. Henry Browne.
5) 7 Oct 1641. James Neale of Virginia, Gentleman, appointed as attorney to recover debt for John Pennell, citizen and draper of London due from Bartholomew Hoskins.
6) 17 Jun 1660. John Neale of Exeter, Devonshire, yeoman and Robert Rodes, yeoman, bound to Austin Wakely, mariner to serve 5 years; by "Delight" for Virginia.
7) Aug 1675. Administration of Thomas Neale of Maryland.
