Was Janie Neely the unnamed fifth child of Joe and Sharlotte Neely, or was she really Ruthie Neely, miscalled Janie to census takers?

If real, Jane "Janie" Neely was born in 1899 in Horry County, South Carolina. She was one of five children of Joseph E. Neely and Sharlotte Ada Sarvis Neely. With their parents dead, in 1910 Bowden and his sisters Ada, Janie, and probably Ruth were boarders at the home of their first cousin Lizzie Rebone Sarvis Cannon and her husband Isaac Lewis Cannon in Manning, Dillon County. Her siblings (and maybe she at age 11) worked in the nearby cotton mill. Janie may have died young, and is probably buried in an unmarked grave at Pleasant Meadow Baptist Church Cemetery near the parents. She was of French Huguenot and English descent. Through the Sarvis surname she has ties to coastal Carolina Native Americans.

This information comes mostly from the 1910 Dillon County, South Carolina census in which she is listed as Janie Neilly. Any errors here, however, are mine alone. Please go to the "edit" link on this site with any corrections or additions. I hope someday to locate a photo of her.
