• Notes

  John O'Neill and his wife and son and their Infant grandson, Wm. H. Edwards (their daughter, Mrs. Edwards, and husband having died), all moved to Bryan County, Georgia, in 1799, where he acquired lands and had a large plantation on which he raised cotton, rice and indigo with slave labor. The son, Daniel H. O'Neill, lived with his parents until he was 23 years old. The story has been handed down in the family that one day he got on his horse and rode away, dressed with silver buckles on his knee pants and slippers; he was never heard from afterwards. His father left his estate to his grandson, Wm. H. Edwards, the only surviving child of his daughter, Mrs. Edwards. John O'Neill was buried by his wife in Lott's Creek Cemetery.
