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.

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. His son Henry Evans O'Neal, who was my grandfather, was born in Monett, Missouri. I would like to correspond with the O'Neal who posted the message. >Shari Williams > >
