Hi Lynn. My O'Neal info is pretty sketchy. I only found my g grandfather this past year thru a descendant of my grandfather's half brother. Here is a rundown on what I have: 1840 Census of Wake County NC : Henderson O'Neal (age 27) 1WM under age 5 (Sydney age 3) 1WM age 5-10 (John age 7) 1WF under 5 (Frances age 4) 1 WF age 20-30 (Rebecah age 27 1st wife) Slaves 1BF under age 10 1850 Census, Manchester Township, Dallas County AR Henderson age 38, blacksmith, born NC 1812 Rebecca age 37 born NC 1813 John W. age 17 Laborer born NC 1833 Sidney age 13 Born NC 1837 Frances age 14 age 8 born NC 1836 Thomas Henderson age 8 born NC 1842 Michel (Michael Cadger) age 4 born NC 1846 Caroline age 2 born AR 1848 Add Samuel born about 1852 in AR Henderson and Rebecca were married Jan 2 1830 in Wake County NC. We think Henderson died between 1870 and 1880 in AR. Date and place of burial unknown. Rebecca died about 1861 in Dallas County AR. Exact date and place of burial unknown. I have a copy of the handwritten marriage certificate of Henders and Nancy Kilner O'Neal January 2 1862 in Dallas County AR. This is my connection. Henderson was about 52 at that time, Nancy was 32. She was born about 1830 in Tennessee. She may have been married previously, so Kilner may have been her maiden or previously married name. CHILDREN OF HENDERSON AND NANCY: Martha (could be "Millie") born abt 1864 In AR Zacheriah (Zacherius) Zack R. born Sept 29, 1865 in AR (my grandfather) All for this time, more on another post.
