I have no information on Richard or his father, Melza. On the O'DONNELL/O'DONEL family, there are no listings for that surname but in Clinton County, I have one listing and that is for James O'DONELL. I do not know if he is your person. He is found on page 351. He is shown on the list of men from Peru, NY who served in the Civil War. "James O'DONNELL 5th Cav." Hope this has been of some help.
