He married Jeannette Scott in 1880. She is buried with their son Fred, wife Safronia & a baby (in one grave) in Mt Rest Cemetary Butler, Nj. 3 of his sons are Samuel W b 1854, Morris b 1857 & john b 1866. I have Morris lived in White plains, Ny around 1920. so he must have some descendants. Is there anyone who can actually look in Fairview cemetary to find information? I live in Fl.

Albert Odell's daughter, Charity Alice Odell (Hudson), was my paternal grandmother. Risdon and Albert had 9 other siblings. Their parents were Isaac Jr. and Rebecca Moore Odell who were both b. in NC and who married in Guilford Co. NC on 20 Mar 1830. Isaac and Rebecca's 3 oldest sons were born in NC. During the mid-1830s many in the extended Odell and Moore families moved to Hendricks Co. IN settling in the area that became Guilford Twp. where the next 6 children (incl. Risdon & Albert) were born. About 1849 the family moved to Adams Co. IL where the two youngest children were born. Four of the brothers served in the Civil War--Thomas G. Odell, Wm. H. Odell, Alson Odell and Risdon M. Odell. The 3rd born son, James Smith Odell, died before the Civil War began. Although Risdon and Matilda had no children of their own, they adopted a 3 y/o Tlingit native Indian orphan named Gertrude (who promptly ! reminded others that "our Odell is spelled with a little d"). Papers containing my research on this family can be found in the genealogy room at the Quincy Public Library as well as at the Sheldon Museum in Haines AK (which has an exhibit on R. M. Odell and his role in the development of the town). Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

O'Dell (1844 - 1926) Is buried in Sitka National Cemetery in Alaska along with his wife Matilda (Crum) O'Dell (1851 - 1938). Pvt O'Dell joined CO G., 78TH ILL INF along with his brother Thomas G. in Adams Co. enlisted in 1862 and mustered out in 1865. Risdon's father (James) and his mother (Ann) were from North Carolina and had moved to Indiana where Risdon was born. It shows that Risdon and Matilda lived in Forrest, Livingston Co., Ill in the 1880 census. In the 1910 Census, it shows they lived in Skagway Alaska. If there are any living descendents to Risdon M O'Dell or if anyone knows of any information about Risdon and Matilda, please contact me. Thank you.
