I would say that there could be a very strong possibility, but I have no proof. All I can prove is back to David allen, SR. I think his father is Theophilus (living next door in Monroe Co., in 1850 census. Theophilus was married to Martha (Patsy) Culpepper in Laurens Co. There was a Theophilus in Wilkes Co. in late 1700's with a daughter named Tabitha and a son named Nathan and a baby on the way. My David A.,Sr. had Wm. Theophilus as his oldest son (thus named after Wm Horn b 1795 in Nc, and I assume the paternal grandpa Oneil). He also had a Tabitha and a Nathan Vanburen Oniel. The Vanbure is a Horn/e name, but the Nathan might have been Oneil. Thus, I assume a connection. I wish I could help more. Keep me in mind.
