Hi! Been seeing your messages go back and forth about William O'Neal, b. 1782, Johnston, NC. I have a William O'Neal born 15, April, 1782, Johnston, NC, married to Serena or Rene Hinton, b. 22, Dec., 1780, or Johnston, NC. I have William as the son of Micajah O'Neal, b. 1754, Johnston, NC. I have Micajah O'Neal's father as John O'Neal, b. 1724, of Johnston, NC. Children of John O'Neal: William O'Neal, b. 1750 John O'Neal Jr., b. 1752 Micajah O'Neal, b. 1754 Zacherious O'Neal, b. 1756 Isom or Isham O'Neal, b. 1758 Edwond O'Neal, b. 1760 I received this information about two weeks ago from LDS History Center. I am in the process of researching this data. I am particularly interested in James O'Neal's descendants. James is listed as the son of William O'Neal, b. 1750, and the grandson of John O'Neal. Now that I have confused everyone, does anyone have this same data. I can find no Moses in LDS data. Looking forward to replies.
