Dear List:   As usual, this list has provided me with much valuable family information, sources and leads for future research.  Thank you.   For those who may be following along to supplement their trees, it appears I found Daniel Odell (also Odel, O'Dell, and now Odle) in Dover, then Dutchess County, New York, settled within what is/was known as the Beekman Patent: "Daniel Odell was born ca. 1733 and was taxed in Beekman from Feb. 1757 through 1778 and joined the Dover Baptist Church in 1762.  He was another Loyalist from Dover.  Local records on him are scarce but he went to Annapolis, Nova Scotia after the war and claimed the loss of a 160 acre farm and house in Dutchess County, 90 miles from NYC.  He also claimed losses for a cider mill, carpenter's tools, blacksmith's toos, cattle etc., with a total value of [pound symbol] 1,810.  His claim was rejected but he took part in the Botsford Grant.  He died at Smith's Cove, Digby, Nova Scotia, 6 Dec. 1816."   The Settlers of the Beekman Patent , Vol.1, p. 591.   None of the replies to my posting have mentioned this so the material above is new for the list.   I also see where Daniel was no longer in his NY home on 19 Aug. 1779.   The Settlers of the Beekman Patent , Vol.1, p. 151 (... they could take their rent wheat to John Keatings, 'formerly Daniel Odle's.').    And then there's: Augustine Odell, whom I find mentioned at/in the Beekman Patent as early as 16 Aug. 1749 ( The Settlers of the Beekman Patent , Vol.1, p. 734), when Daniel Odell the Loyalist would be about 16 years old.  So, Daniel the Loyalist may be the son of Augustine Odell from parts unknown/yet to be determined. As to Elizabeth Odell, Daniel's widow, they were apparently married in 1789 (William Inglis Moore, Grave Stones of Acadia p. 51 - Thanks Dot).  Therefore, given Daniel's age (about 56) at the time of this marriage; the fact he had several married daughters named in his will; and the language in his will identifying his "youngest sons" and his "youngest daughters," I suspect Elizabeth was at least Daniel's second wife. Thanks again! Ben Moseley
