We could have a great block party on Meeting St.! I have many ancestors there. Could the O'Neil's, Neil's, and Nell's be somehow related? The Neil's, Miller's, Wightman's, and Brown's often live in very close proximity. In 1852, there is a Thomas O'Neill, and a James O'Neill living at 98 Meeting, and J.T. Wightman living at 96 Meeting. I have a will connecting the Nell's and Wightman's. Would love to hear from someone connecting these families. Bill Nell SUMR897@aol.com wrote: > Julie i have Directories for Charleston.

Rosalieanne, Thank you for looking up these O'Neill's for me. You see, I believe I am related to Rev. Patrick O'Neill, who pastored St. Patrick's from 1838 - 1865, when he died. Of course, I would not be _directly_ related to him, since he was a Catholic priest. :) However, I believe it is through his brother, Thomas, whom I have not been able to document in Charleston, though other siblings are found there. Sisters of theirs, Elizabeth and Anastasia, are found with Patrick in 1850 and 1860 censuses. Brother Walter is found in them St. Lawrence Cemetery. Oral history says that Thomas died about 1855 and is possibly buried beneath the present St. Patrick's. So, I'm trying to find him through city directories. Another possible brother, John, lived on Morris Street. I have a downtown city map, but I'm not sure where the locations are in relation to each other. Any and all O'Neil's, of any spelling, I would appreciate having for whatever years. Can I repay you for your time?
