Looks like I haven't been to this site in a long time....Nice to meet you Cuz! My
grandfather was your grandmother's brother. My dad was named after my grandfather so
he is John Homer O'Neal, Jr. and then my brother is the 3rd (III) and then my brother
named one of his sons the IV (4th) and I think that's where the dynasty ends! My
brother also used "John" as a middle name for his youngest son.
So.....I remember Mary. I went to a few reunions with my Dad (Jr.) and even once after my
dad died. No..they're not having reunions any longer. I wish they were. I like to
dabble in family history from time to time.
Do you have any information at all on William Ebenezer O'Neal? I have no idea who his
ancestors are. I have question marks for his mom and dad....perhaps Isom O'Neal and
Elizabeth (Liz) Vinson, but no clue as to where they came from.
I believe it was your grandmother who told me a story about William being "bound
out" to another family and if my memory serves, the family was Mallard - I know there
is a Mallard buried in with the O'Neals in the local cemetery.
I'm hoping you respond a lot quicker than I did!
Cuz Gail
