There is a town in Hood River Co (Oregon.. which is where I live.. grew up.. was born etc) called Odell. It was founded by the O'dell Family which was one of the first settlers into Hood River Co. They are buried at the same Cemetery as my Great Grandparents (Henson/Fincher from Laclede Co and Wright Co MO) Wonder if these families are one in the same?? Part of a branch that came West??
