    1. [ONEALL-L] Which George!
    2. Anne O'Neal
    3. Dear Cousins, My apologies. I don't blame you for wondering which George. The George in question is the youngest son of Hugh O.(see Jill's list of children) married to Elizabeth Singleton and supposedly born in 1755. This would cause him to have been born 4 years after the death of his father as shown in the death date that John has for his inventory assuming that this was George's father. I found a record listed by Sandy K. Gorin of Revolutionary War Pension Lists for Jessamine County, Ky. It reads,"O'Neal, George, Pvt. VA Militia, 3 Sept 1832, $80, age 79". I have gone back and checked the records that I inherited and which are supposed to be DAR records and I show the following: "His widow Elizabeth Singleton O'Neal allowed a pension on his application executed April 25, 1831, while residing in Jessamine County, Ky. Died there October 30, 1836. On Ms. Gorin's explanation ," These lists are all the pensioners under the act of March 18, 1818 and the act of June7, 1832. The first date is when the individual was placed on the pension rolls: the second when the pension began. Age, if shown, would be age at time of application for the act of 1818." She only shows one date for George and I am not sure if the 1832 is supposed to be date of application or what or in error. My records show application date as 1831. If he was 79 on the 1831 application date, then he had just turned 79. He would then have been born in 1752. His April birthdate allows for time for his mother to have been pregnant and his father to have died in 1751 which would fit the time slot that John has. This is just my theory and I apologize for the long explanation but don't know how to shorten it. This computer is on fiberoptic cable and I could get on the net on it and not the one on telephone lines which accounts for my changing address. Anne
