I too would like to My Sarah Elizabeth Horne married David Allen O'Neal/Oneil. She was born in 1825 and he in 1826. He was the son of Theophilus and Martha Culpepper O'Neal and they were married somewhere in Laurens Co. In 1850 David and Sarah were living next door to Theophilus and Martha. William and Elizabeth ? Horne were nearby. William Horn was b in NC in 1795. We believe it was Johnson Co. I have always wondered if there were an Allen connection as this was the middle name. D.A. had a son D.A. (Crocket) Jr. O'neal, who remained in Crawford and MOnroe Co. on the line. A lot of O'Neals are in Roberta, and a few are left in Forsythe. They are the same. Do you have a record of any Horne ever marrying an Oneal because David had a brother named Gideon O'NEal. The coincidence seems really too much not to have some connection. My D. A. and Sarah Horne O'Neal moved on to AR where her brother Alford already was. Wm. came with them in the l870's. In 1860 he was in Crawford Co. with Susan Chancelor and Cloughy chancelor who both married the same Wm. Chancelor when the first sister died. Gideon O'Neal and David Allen O'neal Jr. are both mentioned in a will of Vanburen Horne's (whose wife was an O'Neal). They were listed as nephews in Crawford co. I would really be interested to know if this connects to anyone as Twiggs is not too far from this area. Beth Thurman terrilee@ipa.net

Terri, Interesting although I'm not sure what to make of the information you've shared. My GrGrGrGrGrandfather was Gideon Allen. Both names show up in your O'Neal family. Perhaps a connection or strong ties. I have no marriage records of an Allen or Horn marrying into the O'Neal family, although I don't rule it out due to incomplete spousal information. I show a Sarah Horn as a sister to my Gideon Allen's wife, Mary. However this Sarah Horn was both in 1816 not 1825. Mary also had a brother William, but he was born in 1798. Also, I have verified that this family came from Edgecombe County NC independently of Bess Vaughn Clark's reference. No Horns present in Johnson County that I've been able to see. -Cary Allen allensofmarietta@earthlink.net ----- Original Message ----- From: "Terri Lee Wolfe" <terrilee@ipa.net> To: <GATWIGGS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2002 4:03 PM Subject: Re: [GATWIGGS] Horn/O'Neal > At 12:17 AM 4/23/02 -0400, you wrote: > >Betty, > > > >I have little additional information on the Horne family directly.
