According to what I have found, John "Shane" O'Neal (my 5th Great Grandfather), b. abt 1728 and d. 1790 in South Carolina, came to America from County Tyrone. Another researcher claims "the O’Neal’s were the chief family of the Cinel Eoghan tribal grouping in Tyrone, most of Derry, and part of Donegal, that make up the western half of the province of Ulster". I am trying to find any documentation to verify this. His son, Arthur "Barney" O'Neal b. 1765 in Dungannon, move to Mississippi and built Tara Plantation, where he died in 1820.
