Jill, Do you have any information, family tradition, suspicions, or even rumors about John O'Neall (son of Hugh) having any other children aside from the two daughters that you list? Do you have any information about these two daughters? The reason I ask is that I have a wildly improbable theory. I am descended from both Hugh O'Neall and Darius O'Neill and have always thought that these were two different families. However, no one can find any information about the parents of Darius. Speculation includes that the father may have been named John and the mother may have been a KITCHEN from Connecticut. What if John O'Neall was the father? Darius was born in Culpepper Co, VA on 5-18-1764. This is well within an appropriate age for John to have fathered him. It seems unlikely that he fathered only two children (as compared to his prolific siblings). Do you know if John traveled to VA during his lifetime? Where did he die? I believe that John's youngest sibling was born in VA? I know this idea is outlandish, but I'm trying to be creative in my research. Tell me what you think. Take care.
