Pat, I have not had the opportunity to visit, but I'm told that Darius O'Neil is buried in the Clay Creek Cemetery near the Clay Creek Baptist Church in the Bybee area near Newport, TN. His grave is marked with a DAR marker which lists his dates of birth and death. I don't know if any other O'Neils are buried there. If you (or anyone else) should have the chance to visit, I sure would be curious to know what you find there! Richard O'NEILL San Antonio, TX [email protected] [email protected]

Does anyone have directions or information on the O'Neil cemeteries in Cocke County, Tennessee? J. Pat O'Neil [email protected]

ATTN! Someone just sent a huge text file to the wrong address, see subj above. You should send all list mail only to [email protected] when you put the request word in the address you are sending your mail only to a robot which spits it out and sends it to me only. No one else saw it. And such huge text files are not appropriate for this list, most email readers have a limit of the size of mail that can be read, and this one was way too big. Just send it in 2 separate mailings and it will be fine and kindly send it to the correct address. If someone is inexperienced at using email discussion groups, there are websites on the topic of net etiquette which could be helpful. Thank you very much for your cooperation. Jill O'Neall Ching [email protected]

If someone has a problem unsubscribing kindly direct the question to me, the listowner and avoid posting to the whole list. Thank you, Jill O'Neall Ching [email protected]

Hi I am answering this on the list as others asked for info, I am still recuperating from 2 broken legs so bear with me please. Louisiana Technical Institute is where the O'Neal/Squyers material is housed, loosley in several boxes. It is at the library at the Institute, they do have a website but only took my request after I phoned them and pre-paid for the copies. Kindly search for Louisiana Tech Institute on your favorite browser to locate their ph #, ok? Best of Luck, Jill

In a message dated 98-10-02 16:37:38 EDT, you write: << Aloha William~ I would love to hear about your connection to Shane's Castle O'Neill/O'Neall's~I am one of the listmembers who sincerely claim descendancy thru Hugh O'Neill/O'Neall of same~check out some of the sources and photos about our branch of the tree which are included in my websites at: http://www.maui.net/~mauifun/oneall.htm Hope to hear of your connection soon too. Jill O'Neall Ching >> I cannot trace my family back to the O'Neills of Shane's Castle. As I said earlier, I base my belief that I am descended from the O'Neills of Clannaboy on the fact that my ancestral family members were protestant, at least back to my great grandfather, William O'Neill, who was born about 1815 and the fact that several family members were buried in Skerry Burial Grounds. The earliest public record that I have found is for the marriage of my grandparents, William O'Neill and Sarah Ritchie, in 1861. Their marriage is recorded in the Buckna Presbyterian Church. From that record, I know that my great-grandfather's name was also William O'Neill. He lived in the townland of Longmore when my grandparents were married. My grandparents were born about 1841. They were both listed as 60 years old in the 1901 census. I have a newspaper article written at the time of the death of my great uncle, Rowan "Roger" O'Neill, which states that he was buried in Skerry Burial Ground. The article also states that he was "reputed to be a lineal descendant of the Antrim branch of the O'Neills of Ulster". I have another newspaper article in which a family member is quoted describing the funeral of another great-uncle, James O'Neill. He was also buried in Skerry. My father, Arthur O'Neil, born 1888, was the youngest of the eleven children born to William O'Neill and Sarah Ritchie. He came to America in 1908. An older brother, William James O'Neil, came to Pittsburgh in 1886. To my knowledge, he was the first of our line of O'Neills to immigrate. My grandmother's brother, Archibald Ritchie, had come over about the time of the potato famine. Both my father and his brother changed the spelling of their name when they came to this country. I am still working on the lineage. I was hoping someone could give me a list of those buried in Skerry. If you have any words of advice, I would appreciate them. Bill O'Neil Coraopolis, PA.

I'll bring up another William. I have William Riley O'Neal born in Johnston County North Carolina in 1811. I know that his father is Silas O'Neal. It is possible that Silas may have a brother named Bailey. I am looking for any kin to William Riley and any one with information about Silas or Bailey. Lynn Chamberlin [email protected]

List Members, I have one more Wm. O'Neal that I would like for you to check your files for. This Wm. O'Neal isn't in my line of O'Neals, However he would be in my line of McGraws. The second scenario would be he could be the Wm. O'Neal that is in my file the one that I have already submitted, The One that I had parents and siblings for but didn't have a spouse. The dates would be about right for them and the association with the McGraws would also be most likely due to a cousin to the William O'Neal married a McGraw. I will give as much information as I can Please check your files and let me know if you see a match. James V. McGraw married Harriett White Kidd 15 Jan 1828 in Shelby Co., AL Harriet was born 29 Oct 1809 and died 16 Nov 1876. Both are buried in Harpersville Cemetery, Shelby Co., AL Harriet was the daughter of John White Kidd and Ann Allen.

Cohill Allen Edwin b 14 Oct 1838, d 19 Aug 1910 Shelby Co., AL. He married Lucy T. Fluker b 27 Dec 1847, d 22 Apr 1918.

Hi, You all seem to have this name, and maybe you have this. Died at the residence of Judge O'Neall, Springfield, Newberry District, his father, Hugh O'Neall, on Wednesday, the 18th ultimo at abour 2 P. M. Hugh O'Neal the second son of William O'Neall and his wife. Mary Frost, was born 10th June 1767 in Laurens District, S. C. He there spent the early part of his life. In his boyhood he managed a grist mill for his father.… In 1880 he entered the mercantile business.… In 1820 he became an inmate in the family of his son who had just settled at Springfield. There he spent the balance of his life. (November 10, 1848) This comes from the book: Marriage and Death Notices From the Up-Country of South Carolina as taken from Greenville newspapers 1826 - 1863 compiled by Brent H. Holcomb, C. A. L.

19. In �Over the Misty Blue Hills�, her story of Cocke County, Tennessee, Ruth Webb O�dell (p127) says: �Colonel Joseph O�Neil (son of Darius who has a brother William) was born March 4, 1804 and his wife (a first cousin), Nancy O�Neil, was born the same day. At the age of nineteen years they were wed. They were the parents of ten children. Pleasant, who married Mary Greene of Greene County; Marshall, who married, first Elizabeth Susong, second Malinda Hall; Angelina, who married John Thomason; Joseph who married Mattie Ragan; Elizabeth, who married George Ogden; Margaret who married Robert Henry; Nancy who married her cousin. Dr. Oliver O�Neil; Jesse, who maried Julia Sneed Lane first time, a Susong the second time; William maried Mahulda Mason ... 9 children; James married Orleans U. Mason, (sister to Mahulda) ten children their names were: Oscar, William, Laura, Franklin, Andrew, Nannie, Alice, Margaret, Martha Jane and Ellen.� J. Patrick O'Neil [email protected]

In �Over the Misty Blue Hills�, her story of Cocke County, Tennessee, Ruth Webb O�dell (p127) lists Darius� Sons and daughters as: Joseph, William, George W., Calvin, Harrison, Nancy, and Maria, and Darius Jr. A slightly different list exist so I'm not completely confident of this listing (nancy might be a cousin). I'm descended from the Darius Jr. line and havn't yet followed up on William but it seems he would have been born in the early 1800s. Several of these O'Neils went west to Clinton, Mo. and on to Texas (see rmo notes). Mine moved to Cleveland, Tenn and then to Tacoma, Wash, and then to Pittsburgh, PA. leaving relatives scattered everywhere. Richard (rmo) might know more about this William.
