I don't know if I've posted this all before or not, but just saw Mary's post of a John O'Neal and a Giles Henderson O'Neal. They are in the wrong part of the country for me (WV) but I was struck my Giles' middle name of Henderson as I think it is a bit unusual. My great grandfather was a HENDERSON O'NEAL, (born abt 1811 in NC) who in 1830 married one REBECAH HORTON (b abt 1813). They had 7 children to the best of my knowledge: JOHN O'NEAL 1833 NC FRANCES ' b 1836 ? SIDNEY ' b1837 NC THOMAS b 1842 NC MICHAEL CADGER DEE HAWKINS O'NEAL b Nov 19 1846 NC CAROLlNE b 1848 AR SAMUEL b 1852 AR After Rebecah died, HENDERSON married NANCY KILNER (born in TN) (mother of my grandfather) in 1862. She was 32, he was 57. Their children were" MARTHA O'Neal born about 1864 in AR ZACHARIAH O'Neal born 1865 in AR (known to us as ZACK R.) There was listed also a SUSAN O'NEAL born in 1858 in TN, who may/may not have been Nancy's daughter from a previous marriage. I don't know if Nancy's maiden name was Kilner or not. All of the above is correct to the best of my ability. Corrections, additions or questions are welcome. Emma
