Hi,"my" O'Neals were in Arkansas. Henderson O'Neal's first wife was Rebecca Horton. His second wife Henderson O'Neal was born 1811 in NC. Rebecca was born in 1813 also in NC. Their first 5 children were born in NC. Two more were born in Arkansas. On the 1850 Dallas Co. Arkansas census there were Henderson, 38, Rebecca 37, John 17, Sidney 13, Frances 14, Thomas 8, Michael 4 and Caroline 4. Henderson married Nancy Kilner (born about 1830 in TN) on Jan 2 1862. They had two children Martha ( born 1864) and Zack R. (born in 1865) in AR When Zack married my grandmother, he was living in Delark County, AR. I have heard of a Millie in the family and wonder if she might have been Martha ? Any connections ? Emma in NM

My apologizes for being so tardy with a reply. I've been out of town for a few weeks and when I returned my husband was hospilized. I think we're finally back on track. I don't think our John's are the same. My John died sometime around 1885. His wife Millie returned to Tn. Her parents had left Tn when Millie did but they settled in Arkansas. I always wondered why Millie did go to Arkansas. She did have brothers in Tn. She married a Tanner and had two boys after she returned to Tn. I certainly wished we did connect. I would love to find something on my O'Neal.

A few days ago I read a message requesting information about an O'Neal that may have lived in Springdale, Arkansas, and I must have accidentally deleted it before I could reply. My great-grandfather, John O'Neal was from that area, and did live in Springdale at one time. He left that area around the turn of the century. We don't know much about him other than his parent's names, but it might be a connection with others that were in the area. He also lived at one time around Decatur, Texas, where his brother, George O'Neal, settled. He ended up in Hot Spring County, Arkansas in the earlier 1900s, and stayed there until his death.

Submitted by James E. Hargraves PART 4, JOHN FROST; Descendants of John Frost Generation No. 1 1. JOHN1 FROST was born Abt. 1710, and died Bet. 1754 - 1755 in Frederick Co., Virginia. He married MARY TAYLOR Abt. 1733 in Frederick Co., Virginia. She was born Abt. 1710, and died Aft. 1775 in South Carolina. Notes for JOHN FROST: [Hargraves 2.FTW] John Frost only appears twice in the Quaker records, but he does appear several times in the Frederick County, Virginia records. His family must have traveled to South Carolina with William O'Neill and his family in 1765. His wife Mary and son Jonathan are recorded on land deeds for the years 1772 to 1774. There is no record that any of the O'Neills were Quakers except William O'Neill, who may have opted for his wifes' religion (Mary Frost), and so, became a Quaker just prior to his marriage, otherwise the marriage would not have been accepted by The Society of Friends. Only Sarah of the other chilren of John and Mary Frost are included in Quaker records, who are reported to be; Grace, Jonathan and James. If indeed William O'Neill did choose his wifes' religion, then the opposite may be true of Grace Frost, who may have opted for the religion of her husband John O'Neill, who undoubtedly was not Quaker. it appears that Grace (Frost) O'Neill died about 1774 in South Carolina. The last record that we have of John Frost is a land sale which was recorded October 21, 1754 as a Fairfax Grant. Although John Frost is listed as the father of Sarah Frost in the Quaker records of her marriage, June 26, 1755, John does not seem to have attended and only Mary Frost is shown in the list of 27 witnesses. John Frost may have died 1753/1754, since he does not seem to participate in any functions of the Quakers, whereas, Mary and Sarah Frost are active in the Society. Frederick County, Virginia: Records of John and Mary Frost; 1730. John Frost, an original member of Opeckan (Hopewell) Monthly Meeting. (Quakers). 1734. Land survey for John Frost. November 12, 1735.

(Quaker records) Will Book A, Union County, South Carolina; January court 1797, 2nd day. Will of Mary Frost proved by James Benson Senr. (widow of Jonathon Frost); Will of Mary Frost of Union County.....all my goods and chattels be sold by my executors, except one gourd to my daughter Rebecca Frost; the money arising from the sale to be divided amongst my children as followeth; to my son John Frost, 1 shilling; to my daughter Sarah Williams, 1 shilling; to my daughter Mary Frost, 1 shilling; remainder divided equally between my four youngest children; Barnet, Elizabeth, Rachel and William to be paid to them when they come of full age; my brother James Benson and Jesse Young and James Townsend, Executors....25 December 1796. Mary Frost (seal), Witness: Eleander Brown (X), James Benson Senr. (+), Elizabeth Benson (X). The will of James Benson, 20 April 1799, Union County, South Carolina includes .....my four grandchildren John Frost, Sarah Williams and their two sisters Mary and Rebeckah, 5 shillings each. Frost is a rare surname and yet the Frost and O'Neill families are connected in records of Frederick County, Virginia as well as Newberry County and Union County, South Carolina. The land of James Benson, father of Mary (Benson) Frost is near that of the Harris and O'Neill families in northwest Union County, South Carolina. Land deeds are recorded for James Benson by Joseph McJunkin J.P., a known neighbor of the Harris and O'Neill families. July 2 and 3, 1773, Grace Frost is witness to a land deed by John and Sarah Pearson to Samuel Campbell in Union County, South Carolina. This land deed was recorded April 2, 1798 by Hugh Means J.P., known to be a neighbor of the Harris and O'Neill families. The land deed was for 100 acres on Dry Branch of the Tygar River in Berkley County, South Carolina, an original land grant to John Pearson on October 17, 1772. Thomas O'Neill, brother of John O'Neill, was married to a Miss Pearson. Thomas O'Neill also migrated to South Carolina and died in Parkins, South Carolina in 1779. John Pearson was witness to the will of James Benson, father of Mary (Benson) Frost. This Grace Frost is not identified as yet. It is unclear whether Grace Frost witnessed the original sale in 1773 or the recorded deed of 1798. More About JOHN FROST: Fact: 1730, Opeckan (Hopewell) Monthly Meeting, Va.

Hi Greg! I apologize for the lateness of this message.....so much is happening here, I have not been on the computer much lately. NOW, the Shaw family I believe shows up on my father's side of the family, namely O'Neil.....We have a great many Surnames in Venango Co., therefore, would have to go through the whole family tree , which is considerable....... However, I can definitely tell you that Shaw is on my mothers side of the family...as well. One of her relations married a Shaw........Mother was born on the OH side of the state line road between OH and PA.....So, very close to PA and just south of Ven.Co. I was born and raised in Lawrence Co., where my father and grandfather worked; however all their ancestors came out of Ven.Co and my Grandmother O'Neil's as well, namely the Hughes!! I now live in Austintown, Mah.Co.,OH, which is only 45 min. from Ven.Co...I am hoping to go back and visit family I have not seen in 40 plus years (what is left!) and also visit lots of cemeteries and the library...and NO, not in one day!! What can you tell me about the Shaw family??? Tell me HOW you are connected , please. This being a very busy week and next, I will be on and off the computer..Hopefully, then , after that, I can get on for a longer period of time!! Thanks for your time in listening and responding....Sincerely, Louise O'Neil Cook

Hi Sharon, I have just recently started on this mission of finding out about my family. The little that I can tell you is that my father's name is Gordon William O'Neill and he was born on September 12, 1941 in Toronto, Ontario - he has 9 brothers and sisters. His parents(my grandparents) are Gordon Sydney O'Neill and Elaine is his wife. Now anything after that I am unsure but I will have to talk to my aunt to see how much more she can tell me. I don't know if this has been any help to you. Quite possibly my greatgrandparents came from county Down(e)? ( I don't know if I got that right, so please excuse me!) If anyone could help me in my search that would be great!

Could you please advise who Charles' wife and children were? My ggrandfather (John Henry O'Neill) and family lived in Canada, but I only know that in 1901 he was in Brockville, Ontario with his wife and daughter (my grandmother). My grandmother spent some time in (near) Montreal as a nanny/children's helper...but I don't know if they were family or friends. I am willing to follow any lead! Thanks, Sharon >Thanks Penny, > >I am also looking for a Charles O'Neil. Mine was in Sorel,Quebec in >approximately 1837 and at least until 1868.
