To all interested list members and in particular those concerned with O'Neals, Neals located in Henry and Shelby Counties, Ky. This is an update to the file of descendants of George O'Neal b. 1755, son of Hugh + Anne Cox and Elizabeth "Betsy" Singleton. I have already sent this to John O'Neall in Genas, France and his file will be correct as soon as he has time to update. I realize that Jill is unable to update and I am hoping that this way some of this information will be of use to others. The largest additions are to: 1. The descendants of Merritt O'Neal married to Elizabeth Arnold 2. Descendants of Lewis O'Neal (changed to Neal) married to Louisa Lowry 3. Descendants of Mary O'Neal married to Merrill Forbes. My sources for the additions are: 1.Julie Yarborough 2. Biography of Merit Drane married to Malvina Todd Neal 3. Marriage records of: Hiter, Walker, Lowery, Craig, Singleton, Neal, Baskett 4. Bibles of Lewis Neal, J.S. Baskett, Isaac Rees 5. Wills of: Daniel Singleton, Mason Singleton, Melvin Lowry, Wm. Baskett, Toliver Craig, John Craig, James Baskett, George and Elizabeth O'Neal, Rees, Land, John Ford and Lewis Neal. A great many of these can be found in "Kentucky Pioneers and Their Descendants" pub. by Genealogical Pub. Co., Inc. 1951. 6. Newspaper article celebrating birthday of Elizabeth O'Neal married to Arnold. I hope that those of you trying so hard to connect in Kentucky will see someone here belonging to you.
