It appears David O’Sheal (b. 1690) married into the Conner family of Ireland who settled in the Colony of Virginia.

My conclusion is based on several factors:

(1) Lewis Conner, Sr. (d. 1698),was a wealthy ship builder and merchant who was responsible for the transportation of goods between the colonies and the British Isles as well as islands in the Caribbean and the Virgin Islands.  Lewis Conner also engaged in slave trading.

David O’Sheal’s was an attorney and merchant who no doubt engaged in business ventures that involved shipping goods to England and more than likely he utilized ships owned by the Conner family.

David O’Sheal’s father, John O’Sheal, who lived in London, was a merchant tailor who manufactured and sold clothing and military uniforms made from wool.  More than likely, David O’Sheal owned  sheep on his numerous acres in Virginia and North Carolina. The wool sheared from the sheep was sent back to England.

Of further interest to the historian…After a period of time, England did not want wool sent from the colonies.  It became a crime to accept the wool during the mid 18th century.  England’s rejection of the wool and the Stamp Act were but two reasons which led to the American Revolution.

(2)  Lewis Conner, Jr. was granted 90 Acres in 1704 on Loosing Swamp (Nansemond County) which later became part of North Carolina.  This same 90 acres was transferred in 1720 to John O’Sheal, the oldest son of David O’Sheal.

(3) It is possible Lewis Conner, Jr. was the father-in-law of David O’Sheal because the same 90 Acres granted to Lewis Conner may have been purchased by him in 1704 as a gift for his daughter, who may have been born that same year. Therefore, the wife of David O’Sheal was around the age of sixteen or seventeen when she gave birth to her oldest son, John O’Sheal.

(4) There is also a possibility David O’Sheal’s wife was the daughter of Lewis Conner, Sr.  In 1698, Lewis Conner Sr. left a will which does not contain the names of all his children. His will was torn in places and is not easy to read.  Lewis Conner, Sr. did name a daughter, Maria Theresa/Teresa.

David O’Sheal and his wife, named a daughter, Teresa/Theresa/Maria Theresa O’Sheal, who married Rev. John Agnew.

FURTHER ANALYSIS SHOWS THE FOLLOWING:

One researcher stated David O’Sheal, Sr.  married one Elizabeth Maria Pugh.  No documents found to date can substantiate this myth.  There is no proof that David O’Sheal’s, the immigrant, wife was named Elizabeth.

26 January 1756,  Daniel O’Sheal of Granville County, NC, sold three slaves–a Negro man Shockoe and girls Diana and Moll–and one saddle to Thomas Fisher of Suffolk County, Virginia. Witnesses:  ELIZABETH O’SHEAL, APSLEY COUPLAND, AND REV. JOHN AGNEW.  (Apsley O’Sheal Coupland (daughter of David O’Sheal, Sr.);  Rev. John Agnew, the husband of Teresa O’Sheal and daughter of David O’Sheal, Sr.; Elizabeth O’Sheal, the widow of David O’Sheal, Jr.)

This transaction is the only legal transaction found which shows the name ELIZABETH O’Sheal in connection with the O’SHEAL family between 1714–1756.

Last year I located the 1756, inventory of the estate of David O’Sheal, Jr.

David O’Sheal, Jr., died either late in 1755 or early in 1756.   ELIZABETH O’SHEAL who witnessed the legal transaction cited above, was the widow of David O’Sheal, Jr.   It appears Daniel O’Sheal participated in the selling of his brother’s slaves and personal property on behalf of David O’Sheal’s widow, ELIZABETH O’SHEAL.

2 March 1756, Daniel O’Sheal granted land and livestock to Elizabeth Walker, his daughter.  This land appears to have been land Daniel O’Sheal acquired from the estate of his brother, David O’Sheal, Jr. and his wife, ELIZABETH O’SHEAL.  It is unknown whether Daniel O’Sheal purchased this land from his brother’s estate or attained it by way of some other means.  However, whatever the method, it seems quite clear Daniel O’Sheal intended to protect this property by granting it to his young daughter.

SOURCE: Publication: M804; Pension number–S 18144–Jethro O’Shields or O’Sheal

Calhoun, Georgia, October 12, 1855,

L. P. Waldo, Esq.

“Sir, I desire some information in relation to what time Jethro O’Sheal of Spartanburg District, South Carolina drew his last pension or in other words at what time he made his last draw from the pension office.  The SAID Jethro O’Sheal was a Revolutionary soldier and died in the year 1846, about the last of end of that year. There was some time before he died that he did not draw at all, therefore there is coming to his HEIRS you will please give me some information concerning the amount that there is coming to SAID O’Sheal from the time he made his last draw up to December 1846, you will much oblige.    Yours very truly, John A. O’Sheal”

The line of descent from Jethro OSheal to John A. O’Sheal:

JETHRO OSHEAL had a daughter, ELIZABETH.

ELIZABETH OSHEAL married TYREE HARRISON in Spartanburg, SC.

ELIZABETH OSHEAL and TYREE HARRISON had a daughter, Charlotte.

CHARLOTTE HARRISON married JOHN O’SHEAL and had a son, John A.  (Charlotte Harrison and John O’Sheal were cousins.)

Their son, JOHN A. O’SHEAL was the same person who mailed the letter to L.P. Waldo 12 October 1855.

JOHN A. OSHEAL was the great-grandson of JETHRO OSHEAL through JETHRO OSHEAL’S daughter, ELIZABETH OSHEAL who married
TYREE HARRISON.

One researcher reported the name, Sarah or Sara was written into the letter by John A. O’Sheal.  My research shows this is not true.  I have quoted the entire letter from John A. O’Sheal, and the name–Sara–does not appear.  The researcher who reported the name Sara was incorrect with his conclusion.  The researcher substituted the word–SAID–for the name, SARA.

David O’Sheal owned properties and lived in Norfolk, Virginia.  He married Catherine Veale, daughter of George Veale, in 1773.

The last Royal Governor of Virginia, Lord Dunmore, burned the town of Norfolk, Virginia, 1 January 1776.

According to newly uncovered documents I discovered while on a trip to Virginia, the properties of David O’Sheal, grandson of David O’Sheal, the emigrant, were burned during the fire started by Lord Dunmore.  David O’Sheal owned three houses, valued at 397 Pounds.

Living next door to David O’Sheal was James Holt, his step-father, and his mother, Ann Bousch O’Sheal Holt.  James Holt was also an attorney and owned two houses which were valued at 1,842 Pounds.

The street name(s) of David O’Sheal’s and James Holt’s properties are also known to me, but I cannot give this information on the internet because my research is constantly being taken and used on message boards and kept by individuals who intend to publish my findings without giving me credit for my work and for making claims I use stolen research.  It is truly a shame I cannot give the documentation or reference for fear my work will be used for another’s financial gain and/or used to satisfy narcissistic urges.

Sometime in 1766, Daniel O’Sheal, his wife, and five children removed from Granville County, North Carolina to St. George Parish, in the colony of Georgia.
After hours of research in the Georgia Archives, along with a veteran archivist of twenty-five years experience, we found that Daniel O’Sheal was never granted land in Georgia.  Daniel requested two land grants (300 acres and 200 acres); however, he did not take possession of the land but did live on the property.
The O’Sheal family was living in what is now Jenkins County, Georgia, not far from the town of Millen, on the Ogeechee River at Buckhead Creek, near the site of the Old Buckhead Church and the stage coach stop at “The Jones House,” which was built in 1762.

Daniel O’Sheal and his family lived about 50 miles from Augusta, Georgia, and 79 miles from Savannah, Georgia. It is highly probable the O’Sheal family reached St. George Parish by way of ship that sailed into the Port of Savannah. From Savannah, the O’Sheal family would travel the black water Ogeechee River to their destination.

Daniel O’Sheal was named in the Inventory and Appraisal papers in the Estate of  James Anderson, 20 February 1769, St. George Parish, Colony of Georgia.

(James Anderson was a cabinetmaker and carpenter, who originally settled in Christ Church Parish, Savannah, Colony of Georgia.)

Many in the family of Alexander Marchant and Susan Forrest Marchant are buried in Christ Church Cemetery.  It is located in Mathews County on Route 614. The following quote is taken from the book:
Tombstones of Mathews County, Virginia, 1711-1986

There may have been a church at Kingston Parish as early as 1652. Vestry book records show a chapel on the North River in 1679. In colonial times the parish church would be established before a chapel, and the old name for the church on this location was Kingston. It was noted in the old vestry book that a meeting was held the 29th September, 1715, at “the Eastermost River Church.”

Obituary in Mathews Journal May 1924

CAPTAIN S. A. MARCHANT

Captain Seth A. Marchant, a native of Mathews but for many years a resident of Baltimore, Md., died at his home in the latter city on Monday of this week at the ripe old age of 86 years.  Captain Marchant had been confined to his home for the past few years and his death was not unexpected. It was due to the ravages of time rather than to any positive disease. The funeral serices are being conducted today at his home in Baltimore and Interment will be made in Loudoun Park Cemetery there.  Captain Marchant was widely known and as widely respecteded and loved throughout this section. For the past thirty years he had been associated with the J.S. Hoskins Lumber Co., of Baltimore and in his capacity as its representative had come frequently in contact with the people of Mathews in business as well as in a social way. Born in Mathews, Captain Marchant served his state in the army of the Southern Confederacy and after the close of the war became a contractor on a large scale with headquarters in Baltimore, later becoming associated with the Hoskins Lumber Company. In his business, as in all other relations of life, he measured fully up to all the highest ideals of citizenship and possessed the friendship and confidence of all with whom he came in contact. One daugher, Mrs. Fred Powell, and one sister, Mrs. Bettie Alergh (sic), of Baltimore, survive him.  Mr. and Mr. J.W. Marchant, of Retz, the former a nephew of Captain Marchant are attending the funeral and burial services.

Stephen Carleton and Susannah Childs

Generation No. 1

1.  Stephen4 Carleton  (Henry3, Thomas2, Thomas1 Carleton) was born
Bet. 1775 – 1780 in King and Queen County, Virginia1.  Stephen was the son of
Henry Carleton and Lucy Carleton.  (Henry and Lucy were first cousins. Henry’s father was Thomas Carleton, and Lucy’s parents were Robert Carleton and Rebecca Wofford.  Henry and Robert were the sons of Thomas Carleton.)
Stephen married Susannah Childs 03 May 1810 in Jones County, Georgia, daughter of John Childs  and Susannah Satterwhite.  Susannah was born Abt. 1795 probably in Elbert County, Georgia2, and died Bef. 12 August 1857 in Hart County, Georgia
(previously Elbert County, Georgia).
Stephen died Bef. 06 September 1841 in Elbert County, Georgia.

[Source:  Georgia Archives, Elbert County]

The Will of Stephen Carleton was written 10 March 1841.
Probated 6 September 1841 and recorded 9 September 1841.
He appointed his son, John M. Carleton Executor of his Estate.
Stephen signed his name and applied his Seal.  When he did so, he signed his surname Carleton, not Carlton.

Stephen Carleton’s Will reads in part:

…I give and bequeath to my loving wife Susannah Carleton during her natural life or widowhood all my lands and household and kitchen furniture to freely disperse as follows that is to say as the children marries to give them in proportion with them that have married if it can be done without material injury to the maintenance of the balance with the exception of Isom Carleton my son who have had his portion with those that have married and at the general division of my estate those of my children that have not had any portion of my estate that is my children they are first to have as much as those that are married has had before any division takes place and my wish and will is for my daughters as they come of age till they marry to remain on my lands with their mother till they marry if they agree and sons likewise till they marry if they can agree all while single to work to the advantage of the family in working the land and if they after the youngest child Sarah Carleton comes of age believe that it will be more to the advantage of the Legatees and with the consent of my wife Susannah Carleton they may sell the land and equally divide my estate for every child of mine to share and share alike and if no division till after my wife’s death all my children to share and share alike…

Notes for Susannah Childs:
Based on the provisions in Stephen Carleton’s Will, Susannah could live
on the family’s property if she chose to do so, and at her death, a division of the property was to be made for all “children to share and share alike.”

Susannah’s death occurred before 12 August 1857 in Hart County, Georgia.
This is proven by the settlement of Stephen Carleton‘s Estate, 12 August 1857.

The actual settlement of the Estate is ten pages long.  An excerpt follows:

Calhoun Times April 9, 1925

On Monday night, March 22, 1925, the death angel visited the home of Mrs. Will Baker and carried away the spirit of her loving mother, Mrs. Brown, at the age of 76.   She was a consistent member of the Baptist Church.  She suffered much, but prayed to God to give her strength to bear her sufferings.  She leaves to mourn her loss, a husband, five sons and two daughters, and several grandchildren.  Over yonder in the City, where the streets are paved with gold, free from sorrow, death and sickness, safely in the Shepherd’s fold.  Yes, we’ll miss you, mother, for we loved you, tongues can’t tell, but Jesus loved you better, and called you home to dwell.  You shall never be forgotten, never from our memory fade; loving hearts will linger around the grave where you are laid.
By a friend, Esther McCollum

A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:
Some members of the Brown family who descend through Joseph Sephes Brown’s second wife, Lecta Barrett Brown have stated Annie Mae Barrett and Lecta Barrett were first cousins.  This information is incorrect. They were not related at all.  I have researched this off and on for some twenty years and have confirmed it with many Barrett researchers.  There is absolutely no evidence to support the claim that Annie Mae Barrett was Lecta Barrett’s first cousin or cousin of any sort.  Annie Mae Barrett was a descendant of John Barrett and Rebecca Stanton, who settled in Hall County, Georgia, having come from Greenville, South Carolina.
John Barrett was the son of Revolutionary War soldier, Reuben Barrett and his wife, Hannah Doty.

Copyright 2006

During the winter, spring, and summer of 2003, my cousin, J.V. Michael Motes, and I researched, compiled, and published the Colonial history of the O’Sheal family.  J.V. Michael Motes compiled the law cases of David O’Sheal, who was an attorney in Virginia and North Carolina.   One of those cases from the O’Sheal book:

“in the said Court was brought by Sir Richd. Everard against Mr. David O’Sheal on a Bond Entered into at Edenton as security for the Faithfull Discharge of a Naval Office…And the said David was fined 50 pounds, and immediately by the Judges order drag’d away to the common Goal in a very rough manner which was broke open on the occasion and with the Judges assistance the said David was thrust into it and another Lock ut on, and he lockt up and kept ’till weary of so Noisome a place the Gentleman was compelled to pay the money to be discharged compelled to pay the money to be discharged which the judge also received himself” (p. 24, O’Sheal and Chumley, 2003; This case was copied from the Colonial Records of North Carolina.)

After publishing the 2003 book, I continued my research into the O’Sheal family.  In 2006, while researching in the Emory University Library, Atlanta, Georgia, I uncovered O’Sheal family news (previously unknown to anyone in our family) concerning Benjamin O’Sheal and David O’Sheal.  A short, fantastic book, Whaling on the North Carolina Coast, 1990, written and published by Marcus B. Simpson, Jr. and Sallie W. Simpson, revealed what was long forgotten by the descendants of David O’Sheal and partially described in one record from the Colonial Records of North Carolina which my cousin quoted and included in the O’Sheal book of 2003, on page 24.

According to (Simpson and Simpson), in 1723, Governor Richard Everard of the Provence of North Carolina, was granted by the proprietors “the power and Liberty of Fishing and takeing (sic) all sorts of Whales” on the Northern coast of what is now the state of North Carolina. (p.12)

Simpson and Simpson (1990) gave a full account of serious theft committed by David O’Sheal’s brother, Benjamin O’sheal:

“Everard requested that the Court of Vice-Admiralty issue a warrant for the arrest of David O’Sheal, originally from Virginia but then practicing law in the North Carolina courts.  David O’Sheal had induced Everard to appoint his brother Ben O’Sheal as naval officer in charge of Port Beaufort in November, 1728, in which capacity he was empowered to “receive the Tenths of Whale Oyl  & Bone Catched  on the Sea Coast of the Said Port.”  During his appointment, Ben O’Sheal had reportedly collected eighty barrels of oil and half a ton of bone, a total value of 500 pound sterling; but after converting the duty to his own use, he fled to Gambia.  David O’Sheal was arrested and ordered to pay the amount owed by his brother, for whom he had earlier posted a bond.”  (Simpson and Simpson cited Vice-Admiralty Papers, CCR 191,  Court Order for David O’Sheal, 3 August 1730.)
