In January 1804, William Neatherlin was awarded a land grant by Settlement on the waters of Beaver Creek. He sold 100 acres of land for 20 pounds sterling to Thomas Walker in Richmond County, Georgia.
On July 4, 1807, William received a grant of 160 acres in St. Helena Parish, Louisiana.
From September 4, 1813, William served as church treasurer from until his death in September 1815.
Family story: Legend has it that the family came from Holland but no confirming data has been found. A believable story circulates that the name was originally Leatherlin and he was a bondservant from England. He worked and attended church in MA and when his time was up, he changed his name and moved away. This is a matter of record, what is not yet proven is that he was our ancestor.
Another family legend is that Lewis Soloman and his brother John are not the natural children of William and Rachel but are nephews or friends raised by them.
There is controversy over the correct spelling of the family name. The family Bible of Sarah Elizabeth Neatherlin Vickers spells it as Neatherlin, as does her sister, Mary Jane Neatherlin Vickers. It is also known that their brother, James Mabry Neatherlin, decided on their own to change the name to Netherland.
