According to my Grandfather John Martin O'Neil, John and Margret Sullivan O'Neil(l) came to Canada on or before 1830. They settled in By-Town, now the city of Ottawa. They later settled on land near North Gower, Carleton County, Ontario - this land was on the Rideau River near Kars. They has seven children there. I am searching for information about their parents, possible siblings and date of marriage in Drinagh (Dreeny). If they followed the Irish naming pattern, John's father was Timothy and his mother Catherine. Margret's father was Michael and her mother Mary Ann. A letter from a sister-in-law Flora Sullivan, dated 11 Sep 1850, informs John and Margret that a daughter left in Ireland died 6 months after they sailed for the USA. Two daughters of John's sister(?), Mary went to the USA - one was Johnana O'Neil(l) who went to Leominister MA. Flora also mentions a brother-in-law, Corneilis (spelling?) Sullivan. I do have information on this family once they came to Canada and would be glad to share. Thank you for any and all help on how to locate information on John and Margret Sullivan O'Neil(l) from Drinagh (Dreeny) County Cork Ireland. The descendants spell O'Neil with one 'l', but I think that it originally had 2. Ann O'Neil Crosby Nicholson jonnick@rconnect.com
