JAMES
O'NEALL, farmer; P. O. Oregon; born in Wayne Township Dec. 7, 1816;
is a son of William and Martha O'Neall,
whose history is given in sketch of Abijah
P. and George
T. O'Neall in this work. The subject of this sketch was raised and
grew to manhood on the old home farm, and remained with his father till
27 years of age. On March 24, 1844, was united in marriage with Martha
S., daughter of Joseph A. and Judith
(Hampton) Salee, he a native of Virginia, and she of Kentucky.
Issue, eight children, six now living -- Joseph
W., Mary J., Willis H.,
Martha J., Anna B. and Lennis
E. His wife died Jan. 25, 1859; on July 3, 1861, he was married
to Isabel, daughter of George
and Elizabeth Longstreth; he is a native of New Jersey, and she of
Warren County; by her he had one son, Abijah T. His second
wife died Sept. 24, 1863; and Sept. 7, 1865, he married for his |

third wife Mrs. Olive Daniels, a daughter of John and Rebecca Hazzard; he a native of Dutchess Co., N. Y., and she of Connecticut. Mr. Hazzard became a resident of Ohio about 1814, and Rebecca about 1816, and were married in Clinton County; they were parents of seven children, four now survive -- James, Thomas, Olive and Anna. Olive was born in Clinton County, July 18, 1827. Mr. O'Neall, after his marriage, resided four years on the old home place with his father. In May, 1848, he located where he now lives and has since resided. This farm consists of 192 acres, of which 150 acres are now in cultivation; when he came upon the place, there were about thirty acres cleared; thus is shown the vast work that has been accomplished by Mr. O'Neall, in bringing the wilderness into fine cultivated fields; he has also erected all the buildings on the place, and brought everything into its present state of improvement. This sketch is another link of the pioneer history of the O'Neall family, who have performed so extensive a part in the early settlement of this township, in reducing those primeval forest, and making these fine fields and farms. Mr. O'Neall is now in his 65th year of age, and his entire life has been spent in Wayne Township; being perhaps the longest life spent from birth, without living any part of it elsewhere, of any resident in the township. |
