O'Neil family of Northern Ireland

Roger,

The litttle information that I do have for Constantine O'Neal is he was born 1718 county Tyrone. Looks like he may have camw to America around 1750's-1760. He died age of 47 in Fairfax, Virginia, United States. Wife listed is possibly a Jane Brooks born 1715, Ireland. The John Jackie O'Neal on my ancestry acct. shows dob 11/11/1744, Ireland, by age 14 (1758) he was already married to a Mary Kitchen (1745-1845) in Virginia. I know based off of John's son Darius O'Neil that John was born in Ireland, from census records I found. Also, based on my ancestry acct. It a Conn Laird Samuel O'Neill as Constantine's father. I'm not 100% sure this is correct but I'm going with it until I find out otherwise. I read somewhere that "Laird" means title of "Lord", is that true? Hope you are able to find something out with the info I provided. For your help. I know there were/are alot of O'Neil/O'Neill/O'Neal's from Northern Ireland, I am just trying to find out which line my ancestors are from!

Thanks,
Mindi

I found some interesting information yesterday which leaves me more confused than the info in my previous post. I have come to the conclusion that the John "Jackie" O'Neal in my previous post is not the John I am hunting. That John did not have a child names Darius which would have been his oldest, instead his oldest was Spencer O'Neal. This family moved from Virginia to Ky where they homesteaded. My Darius B O'Neil (1764-1844) lists his father as John O'Neill, being born in Ireland, but the info I have doesn't say where exactly. It did say he arrived in Baltimore, Maryland, but no year. Based on Darius' dob maybe John came to America in the early 1700's. Do you have any resources I could check for John O'Neill in?

 

Thanks,

Mindi

Roger,

Well, I have done the DNA testing through ancestry. The matches that other people have added for my ancestors isn't right! The John they all have I have learned is not right! I will keep looking until I find something! Thanks for your help.

Mindi hope this finds you well. We seem to be on the same family line. I’m also a direct descendant with what seems to be your line.  Oils you possibly email me let’s see if we can compare notes and see if we are able to help each other 

I also descend from a John who was a direct descendant of the O'Neal's. He changed his name to Payne at some point and I've been able to pinpoint his haplogroup in the O'Neill Family Tree DNA Project but that doesn't give me an exact answer so I still have to research. Someone tried to cover up the fact that he was an O'Neill somehow with Payne information and they did it so well that no one would have noticed if it wasn't for DNA. I'd also like to see if we match DNA or your all's research if possible ☺️☺️

 

Do you have an email address, so we can communicate back and forth? What kind of DNA test have you taken? Ancestry, 23&Me? I would be glad to try and help you with family information.

Thanks-Mindi
