Do you know of McNeal ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about McNeal. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with McNeal.<1>

Our sources for McNeal (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of McNeal other than they indicate that McNeal would be found somewhere in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1882 and closed  in 1921.
