I, too, am related to this line. Gideon "Gid" O'Neal was my great grandfather. O'Neal connection scan get very confusing, so I will clear up one fact here. Gideon was the nephew of Van Horne by his wife Sarah O'Neal. However, his father was her brother William, not David Allen Oneal, Sr. Therefore, Gid and David, Jr. were first cousins. With my any name repetitions, it does get a bit confusing at times. I will also be glad to see any new info concerning. Documentation is definitely welcome to help remove some the uncertain info we have now. Jennifer Sherwood Braswell
