In Calnek and Savery's History of Annapolis County, pages 251/2 Daniel Odell is mentioned in a list of tax-paying residents in 1791, He is not mentioned in the 1784 list of first grantees whose families still resided in the county in 1890. Odell is not in the Biographical and Genealogical Sketches. Have you found him in NS Immigrants to `867 by Smith and Smith? Have you looked for Daniel Odell in the 1790 US Census? Have you searched for the sons on familysearch? bob gillis > > Daniel Odell, yeoman, is listed as a United Empire Loyalist and he > owned some 250 acres in Clements Township when he executed his will > on 16 Nov. 1813 (will said to be proved on 15 Jan 1817; I know he > passed between 26 Nov. 1816, the 2nd dating of his will, and 15 Aug. > 1818, when his widow petitions the court). > > Daniel married Elizabeth, maiden name currently unknown to me, and, > assuming Elizabeth is the mother of all of Daniel's children, they > had, order uncertain: > > Urial Odell, perhaps the eldest son and child; Phebe Odell - Phebe > married Mr. Preston; Mary Odell - Mary married Marcus Brundage; > Daniel Odell [Junior]; > > Abijah Odell; Artemus Odell; Jacob Odell; David Odell (will proved 25 > Mar. 1828); Enoch Towner Odell; Rachel Odell; Elizabeth Odell; and > Maria Odell.
