Pa Biographies Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Pa/VenangoBios/319 Surname: Halyday, Horth, Carle, Hunter, Davidson, Bannon, Phipps, Coe ------------------------- History of Venango County Pennsylvania, Its Past and Present , Chicago, IL; Brown, Runk & Co., Publishers; 1890; pp. 850 -851 Francis Halyday, a pioneer of the Oil Creek valley, settled on the Allegheny at the mouth of Oil creek early in the present century (1800s) on a tract of land which he purchased from the state in 1803, part of it now occupied by Oil City. Holidaysburg was his native place, but his ancestors were Irish. The few brief years allotted to him in his new home were still sufficient to earn the character of an honorable, trustworthy citizen among the pioneers. He died in 1811. His wife, Sarah Horth, daughter of Hiram Horth, of New York, was a woman of singular energy and attainments for the period in which she lived. Of Scotch parentage she brought to her husband a dowry of tack and management more valuable than gold in their wilderness home. With early widowhood there came the responsibility and support and education of eight children, the youngest, a son but two years old, and the eldest, her only manly help, to be speedily summoned to the defense of his country. Her nearest neighbors were Indians, and doubtless her best friend was their chief, Cornplanter, who was ever a welcome guest in her home and ever ready to exchange the wild game of the forest for her savory domestic meats and pastries. As these wild sons of the forest helped to lighten her burdens not less did she and her daughters contibute to the comfort and care of squaw and papoose when sickness and death invaded their tents, and not infrequently were the tears of Indians and pale faces mingled at the open grave. The bold bluff on the north side of the creek overlooking both creek and river was the burial ground of the Senecas at that time, and a similar spot on the opposite hill (known at that time as Clarks Summit) was made sacred to their white friends, as one after another their loved ones were consigned to their last repose. To Francis and Sarah Halyday there were born the following children: Columbus, who went with his comrades to the defense of Erie, was brought home sick of fever, and died in 1813; Uretta, who married Alexander Carle in 1812, and died in 1829 leaving five children, viz: Lovina, Columbus, Mary, James and Sarah; Margaret who married Samuel Hunter, and died in 1817, leaving two children since deceased; Sarah married Moses Davidson in 1816, and died in 1817, leaving one child; Francis; Cassandra, married to James Bannon, died in 1846; Lovina died in 1813, aged twelve years; Amelia, born December 10, 1805, married Captain Samuel Phipps in 1823, and died September 28, 1870; and James, born January 13, 1809, married Almira Coe, October 16, 1828, and died in Oil City November 9, 1884. The following, taken from a late (1880s) sketch of Oil City, is appropriate here: In his youth James Halydays playmates were the Indian boys of Cornplanters tribe, and little he dreamed of the city, founded as if by the magicians wand on his old home. His life was passed within half a mile of the place of his birth and he watched the changing scenes of the discovery of oil, the building up of the busy marts of trade, the floods and fires and the gradual development of this section, culminating in making this city the oil metropolis of the world, all passing before his eyes like the dissolving views of the stereopticon. Peculiarly kind and benevolent to all who needed either sympathy or more material aid, the memory of James and Almira Halyday will be cherished for many years by those whom destiny has brought to occupy their native place.

Pa Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Pa/Venango/2321 Surname: ------------------------- Hi Helen, I sat down last evening and went through my files, as I just knew there was a reason Abraham O'Neil was not the father of John K. O'Neil. I found my copy of John K. O'Neil's Death Certificate, and it mentions his parents as being John O'Neil and Anna Maitland. Therefore, that is the proof. I have been away from my researching for a while and had forgotten I had the Death Certificate. I also read in my notes Abraham O'Neil resided in Rockland Twp. Interesting the two families had children close in age and named the same. Will talk to you again, Janet

Pa Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Pa/Venango/2316 Surname: ------------------------- Hi Helen, I had two people look up the 1850 Census for me, and one listed the name as O'Nail, with John and Anna being the parents and the children listed as John, Andrew, Margaret S., Nancy Ann and A==. Another person who knows a lot of history in Venango Co. gave me the names the same, but with the youngest child listed as James, and he spelled the name as O'Neil. How interesting there were two families with children so closely named. I do feel our John was married to Anna Maitland--they were Richland/Rockland Twp. folks, but I haven't any proof and can't seem to find any. I also have Nancy Ann O'Neil as being married to Andrew J. Weaver, born in 1845, died 1930, buried in Valley Cemetery, Richland Twp. Did not have info on a first husband. Wonder where in PA this Abraham resided? He and his wife Ann are different ages than John and Anna, who were both born in 1811. Perhaps there are some more O'Neil (O'Nail) out there that can help us out!! This makes for an interesting situation! Please keep in touch. Janet

He had brothers Andrew, Hugh, Martin H.(born in OH Dec. 1832 rather than Venango Co. Pa), and possibly a brother Jasper (Jap), and two sisters. I have an obituary for Martin. The generation for Hugh and Martin appears to be wrong but the family had a pattern of passing names from generation to generation so I suspect a connection.

Pa Obituaries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Pa/VenangoObits/502 Surname: Bonnett, Beighner, Flynn, Coleman ------------------------- Venango Daily Herald June 13, 1910 Death of Richard S. Bon(n)ett, a Man Who Had An Interesting and Unusually Varied Career. Richard S. Bonnett, a resident of this city and vicinity since the early 60s, died Saturday night at the family home, 5 1/2 Pearl Avenue, following a short illness from a complication of diseases. The deceased was born 67 years ago in England. His parents came to America when he was six months of age, locating in New York. When a young man he went to Michigan, engaging in the fishing business for a number of years. He moved to this section when the oil excitement broke out, locating at Reno, where he was married later to Miss Catherine Beighner, whose death occurred four years ago. For over 25 years Mr. Bonnett had been employed by the National Transit company as one of its field men. He moved from Reno to this city 15 years ago and for a number of terms represented the Third Ward in council, taking an active interest in municipal affairs. He was a man who enjoyed a wide acquaintance throughout this entire section of the oil country. He was a member of the Trinity M. E. Church for many years. The following sons and daughters survive: Mrs. C. E. Flynn, H. L., C. H., Guy T., Fred S. and Miss Mary Bonnett of Oil City; Mrs. D. Coleman of Franklin; J. W. Bonnett of Polk. The funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon, at 2:30 o'clock, at the family home, the Rev. J. H. Clemens officiating. The interment was in Grove Hill cemetery.
