The more I think about it, the more confused I get. Webb O'Dell asserts that seven O'Neil brothers came to America; five to North Carolina and two to Virginia. We know from his pension application that Darius was born on 5-18-1764 in Culpepper Co., Virginia; he did not immigrate to America. Is O'Dell speaking of the previous generation (the unknown father of Darius)? If so, would that make the KITCHEN from Connecticut the mother to Darius and g-mother to Darius B.? Seems unlikely that a woman writing about the history of Cocke Co. would know so much about early Virginia history. And where are all the descendants of the five brothers from North Carolina? And, dare I ask, is Darius O'Neil related in some way to Hugh O'Neal? Let me know what you think. Richard O'Neill San Antonio, TX [email protected] [email protected]
