    3. I view with interest the Orange Co., NC O'Neals. I am trying to prove the ancestry of David O'Neal, b. 1808 in NC, likely Orange Co., NC, since his son is born in 1835 and lists Orange Co., NC as his place of birth. We find David O'Neal to have married Susannah Miller. Any one out there on this O'Neal line? Thanks! J.

    2. Bruce Daniels
    3. Hi DeWayne, Here is a passage from the book (mentioned below) by John Perry Alderman, "A James Oneal acquired 200 acres on Pauls Creek, near the Goodspur, and lived on it for a time. He was still in the county in 1810 when that territory, which had been a part of Patrick, was added to Grayson (Virginia). The 1810 Grayson tax list shows James Oneal, John Oneal, Jonathan Oneal, and Samuel Oneal amongst the tithables." In another passage, there is mention of James (1815) conveying 200 acres of Grayson County land to his son John and the deed states that James was from Guilford County, NC and John was from Orange County, NC. Since Jonathan was John's brother, it appears that the family came from NC. Have not found much on Jonathan, cannot even prove he ever married. Your date of him being born abt 1755 is a little early. The Guilford County 1800 census shows James and three males greater than 10 years old and less than 16 years old.

    1. [ONEALL-L] A Regulator? in the family?
    2. Carl E. Porter
    3. Dear List, I ran across this account at: http://davenation.com/gene/jnationd.html , and was surprised to learn that an Oneal was involved in what I suspect was the "Regulators." For those who don't know, the Regulators episode, like Bacon's Rebellion, in Virginia, is generally regarded as a precursor of the Revolutionary War. Descendants of Regulators are entitled to no small measure of pride in such ancestry. The punishment was severe enough that most of the former Regulators remained loyal to the crown during the Revolution. An exception, was my children's ancestor, Marmaduke Vickery, who's wife, Elizabeth (Nation) Vickery, was the sister of the Christopher Nation spoken of below. I apologize for the length, however, I felt that the migration of the Nation family from the banks of Opechan Creek, near Winchester, VA and the association of the family with Quakers, was a part of the picture that should be presented. My question is: Has anyone identified this John Oneal? Or, can anyone claim him? :o) Oh, yes, Happy New Year! Carl Christopher Nation, the third son of John, Sr., was quite a problem to the Governor of the Province of North Carolina, as he was engaged in riotous acts against the crown. He was in North Carolina as early as 1761 for it is noted he witnessed a marriage of Samuel Osborn to Elizabeth Lamb at the New Garden Meeting, in Guilford County on 7 June, 1761. He also witnessed the marriage of Benjamin Beeson to Bertha Lamb at the same place on 9 July, 1761. His brother John, Jr. also witnessed this marriage. Attention should be called to the fact Benjamin Beeson (Sr.?), with his wife and children, was received into the Quaker church at New Garden Monthly Meeting, Guilford County, NC., on 7 March, 1752, on certificate from Hopewell, Virginia. The monthly meeting in Virginia was dated the 6th of March, 1751. Two Beeson men witnessed the will of John Nation, Sr., and it is possible they traveled from Virginia to North Carolina along with John Nation and his family. This would put the Nation's family in North Carolina about 1751. Christopher Nation was listed in the tax rolls of Rowan County in 1759, and was elected to the House of Representatives from Rowan County in 1769 (Col. Records of NC., vol. 6, page 799) In 1768, he, along with 21 other Regulars, assembled at Hillsboro, North Carolina, petitioned the Governor, his Excellence, W. Tryon. as follows: "Whereas through the exactions and extortions of several officers of Orange, we have involved ourselves in many difficulties and by means of reports, false, spread the condition has arose to a great extremity and being desirous to submit ourselves to the clemency of your excellence, and to lay aside all method of redress of our grievances, but by a due course of law, and beg that your excel.lence will forgive all our past offenses by your gracious proclamation, that peace and tranquility may be restored again, to all the inhabitants of this province, and confiding in your assistance and favor to execute the laws against said exactions and extortions and conclude." (Ibid. vol. 7, page 813). On October 1, 1768, at a council held at Hillsboro, NC., it was decided to issue such proclamation. The document, signed by Governor Tryon October 3, 1768 read in part: "I do, therefore, out of a compassion for the misguided multitude, being much more inclined to prevent than punish crimes of so high a nature by and with the unanimous advice and consent of his Majesty's Council issue this proclamation granting unto them His Majesty's most gracious pardon for the several outrageous acts by them committed at any time before the day of the date hereof, except James Hunter, Ninion Hamilton, Peter Craven, Isaac Jackson, Harmon Husband, Matthew Moffit, Christopher Nation, Solomon Cross and John Oneal, of which all officers of Justice and others concerned therein are to take notice. (Ibid. Vol. 7, page 850 and 851). After this, Christopher Nation and Harman Husbands were elected to the House of Representatives, which met at New Bern, NC., on the 5th day of December 1769. (Ibid, Vol. 8, page 105). He was paid for 18 days in attendance, and for 16 (days coming from his home and returning. He received atotal of twelve pounds, eighteen shillings arid four pence, including the traveling ex-pense. (Ibid, Vol. 8 page 147). In a letter dated 30 march, 1770 at London, England, Henry Eustace McCulloh wrote to Colonel John Harvey in North Carolina, and stated, among other things: "I thank you for the journal of your political proceedings:-the madness of the people must be great indeed, to trust such wretches as Harmon Husbands and Christopher Nation, as their representatives;--but it is a comfort, that violent mad fits seldom last long." (Ibid, Vol. 3, page 183). Christopher Nation was listed in the Stokes County, NC. Federal census for 1790. He had one son under 16 years of age at that time. He was in the Greenville District of south Carolina in 1800, and had two sons under ten, and was under 45 years of age. He had one daughter under ten, one 16 but under 26, or his wife was under 26. He bought 100 acres of land from James Barton in the GreenVille District in 1795, and the instrument was recorded in 1803 in book G, page 9. The land was a part of an original grant to James Barton, and it may be that Christopher married Barton's daughter, as it is known the Nations intermarried with the Bartons, the Robins, the Trammells and the Vickerys. The name of Christopher Nation does riot appear in the South Carolina census records for 1810 or afterward. Nor have I been able to (determine whether he died here, or, moved away to some other state.
