Hello, I thought i would tell you all about a great site that i happened upon. it is Family Workings Genealogy at http://www.familyworkings.com they have tons of wonderful things including lots of links and ancestor queries. they also have a gedcom database that have been submitted by other visitors. -Sir Genie ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Hi! Cousins - The Emerald Guard http://www.webhosters.com/34thtxcav/html/CoI8thAla.html This URL was mentioned on another list and I found it to be very interesting. If you may have had ancestors in the Confederate Army you may want to check it out. I did find a few O'Neall's and Boyds and such listed below. In Company I, 8th Alabama, the Emerald Guard, 104 of the 109 men were Irish-born, and the men wore dark green uniforms; their banner was a Confederate battle flag on one side with a full-length figure of George Washington in the center. The reverse was green, with a harp, shamrocks, and the slogans, "Erin-go-bragh" and "Faugh-a-ballagh." This was the first Alabama command that enlisted "for the war." It was organized by the appointment of its field officers by the war department. The regiment lay at Yorktown, Virginia, the first eleven months of its service, and a detachment of it was engaged in a skirmish near Winn's Mill. Placed in Gen. Pryor's brigade, the regiment fell back with the army till the enemy overtook it at Williamsburg. It won its first laurels on that fiercely-contested field, losing about 100 men. At Seven Pines it was again under the most deadly fire, and its loss was 32 killed, 80 wounded, and 32 missing. Of 1377 men on its roll, the Eighth had 300 killed or mortally wounded, over 170 died of disease, and 236 were discharged or transferred. 9th Alabama Infantry Regiment - The 9th Alabama Infantry Regiment was organized at Richmond, Virginia, the latter part of May 1861, and contained men from Butler, Calhoun, Greene, Jackson, Lauderdale, Limestone, Marshall, Mobile, Morgan, and Sumter counties. It was moved to Winchester several weeks later and was there brigade under Gen'l Kirby Smith of Florida. Field and staff officers: Edward Asbury O'Neal (Lauderdale; transferred); Majors Edward Asbury O'Neal (promoted); and Adjutants D. F. Boyd; O'Neal, Jesse Co. E Private O'Neal, John Co.

The more I think about it, the more confused I get. Webb O'Dell asserts that seven O'Neil brothers came to America; five to North Carolina and two to Virginia. We know from his pension application that Darius was born on 5-18-1764 in Culpepper Co., Virginia; he did not immigrate to America. Is O'Dell speaking of the previous generation (the unknown father of Darius)? If so, would that make the KITCHEN from Connecticut the mother to Darius and g-mother to Darius B.? Seems unlikely that a woman writing about the history of Cocke Co. would know so much about early Virginia history. And where are all the descendants of the five brothers from North Carolina? And, dare I ask, is Darius O'Neil related in some way to Hugh O'Neal? Let me know what you think. Richard O'Neill San Antonio, TX [email protected] [email protected]

I too have heard that Darius might have been married previous to Mary "Polly" Brackney but have seen no evidence; only rumor. I have read and re-read Mary's application for her widow's pension after the death of Darius. From this document and attachments it is clear that Mary was the wife of Darius and she never married after his death. Calvin W. and Darius B. also sign affidavits supporting their mother's claim (which in turn verifies that Darius is their father). Now here's where I get confused. The reference cited above states that "the mother of the last set was a KITCHEN from Connecticut". If Mary (who by the way was born in Connecticut around 1786) is the mother of Calvin W. and Darius B., how does the KITCHEN woman fit in? Is she the first wife (seems unlikely)? Unlike Hugh, William, or John, Darius is a relatively uncommon name. I am working on the premis that all of the "Darius" (Darii?) are related and their common relationship will become apparent in time. Let me know what you think!

It is very hard not to believe that two Darius O'Neil's traipsing around Tennesse at the same time aren't cousins at least. There is a possible Virginia-North Carolina connection referenced below but I have no idea where O'dell's information came from. I suppose its also possible your Darius is the Grandson of the Rev war Darius by first marriage (still family rumor for me) since the rev war fellow's BD of 1764 more than supports the 1791 birth date for your Darius's father Joseph. Marriage to Polly Bracknay (second wife) is 1801 from the pension ap. In “Over the Misty Blue Hills”, her story of Cocke County, Tennessee, Ruth Webb O’dell devotes about a page (p127) to the O’Neils. She talks about seven O’Neil brothers who came to America; five to North Carolina and two to Virginia (no further reference). Then she discusses the Cooke county O’Neils. “The two (brothers) who came to Cooke county before 1816, had large families. Henry, Peggy, Betsy, Mary, Lucindy were the names of one family. The other brother’s children were: Joseph, William, George W., Calvin, Harrison, Darius, Nancy, and Maria. The mother of the last set was a Kitchen from Connecticut. >From these descended the present ones of the name."

Just want to post my O'Neal family as I know them. James R. O'Neal, Shoemaker, b.ca. 1791 NC; m. Martha ___ b. 1792 NC; in later life he married Mary (Clyne) Hickerson - no issue). Children by Martha: 1. Thomas b. 1814 NC - Shoemaker 2. William H. O'Neal b. 1819 Simpson County KY m. Cynthia Ann Harlan. 3. Mary Ann O'Neal b. 1820 m. Martin W. Powell./ 4. Darius W. O'Neal b. 1821 m. Margaret C. Bennet 5. Chriswell K. O'Neal married Martha Ann Bennett 6. Martha F. O'Neal 7. Elizabeth Delila O'Neal m. Joseph C. Waggoner Have tried to find a connection to Darius the Revolutionary War soldier buried Cocke County TN. No success. James R. lived NC, Simpson County KY, Barren County KY, dying in Allen County KY. The Rev.War sol. lived many places in VA but cannot find any reference to NC. Does anyone know the soldier's first family. I've been told that tradition states he was married twice with a family by each wife. Mary Brackney was his second wife and second family.

I think I'm still on -- at least I'm still getting mail! It was someone else who was trying to get unsubscribed and the person kept addressing his mail to the wrong address. I was trying to help!!

I don't know where or Martha's name. They show up in Simpson County KY ca. 1820 and live out their lives in KY, i.e., Barren and Allen counties. Know nothing about James' siblings. I would surely like to find someone in NC who is missing a son James. Any ideas? >>
