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.

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.
