John Odeneal Jr married Martha YoungPatrick, daughter
of William & Mary Patrick, June 5 1802, Rockingham Co., NC. All known
records of John are in Rockingham Co., North Carolina where he had large
land holdings.
Two daughters, Sarah and Mary married Fewell brothers
while still living in NC and then move to MO about 1833. An article in
the Aug. 29 1839 Western Emigrant, a Cooper Co., MO paper, reads; Married
30 July of last month at the house of Col. Calvin Waldo, by the Rev. David
Weir Mr Joseph W. Cox of Osceola to Miss Jane H. Odenal all of Rives Co.,
MO. The marriage was in Rives (now Henry) Co., MO. In 1860 Jane O. Cox
age 18, born in MO is living with Milton Odeneal in MS. I believe this
is a daughter of Jane and Joesph. Also; I here by certify that Mr. Henry
Bryant of St. Louis, MO and Miss Matilda O'Neill of Cooper Co. MO were
joined together in Holy matramony by me on the 6th of Oct, 1847. S. Tompkins
J. C. Src, Cooper Co. Marriages & Western Emigrant Newspaper. I believe
both Jane and Matilda are the daughters of John Odeneal Jr. and if so all
four daughters moved to MO and the three sons to MS.
He died in 1833 in NC and in his will he lists
seven children.
