second son of William O'Neall, and his wife Mary Frost, was born 10th of June
1767, on Mudlick, [p.69] Laurens District, S. C. When a boy his father removed
near the mill, on Bush River, now the property of Dr. Bobo, and which by the
will of his father was devised to the subject of this sketch. He there spent the
early part of his life. In his boyhood (during the Revolutionary war), he
managed the grist mill for his father, and there stored his mind and memory,
with the rich fund of Revolutionary anecdote, for which he was so remarkable.
From his marriage in '92, to 1800, he managed for himself the mill. In that
year, he began the mercantile business, and continued it with the interval of
perhaps one year to 1810 (June or July), when in the Providence of God, he
became a lunatic and while in that condition, his estate was sacrificed by the
folly of his creditors, and his wife and children (one son and four daughters)
left penniless. In 1813 (July) he was fully restored to reason, and from that
time until within a few years of his death his mind, memory and understanding
were just as vigorous and correct as they ever were… In 1820, he became an
inmate in the family of his son, who had just settled at Springfield, the late
residence of his maternal grandmother, Hannah Kelly (deceased)… He was born,
ralsed, lived and died in the Society of Friends.…

This collection of marriage and death notices from Columbia newspapers is a
continuation of Brent Holcomb's earlier Marriage and Death Notices from
Columbia, SC, Newspapers, 1792-1839. Taken largely from The South-Carolinian,
the notices in this database come from a variety of sources, including the
Palmetto-State Banner and the Columbia Banner. With over 8000 names, it covers
not only the counties of Richland and Lexington, but also contains notices from
Orangeburg, Lancaster and Georgetown. In addition, because it is the state
capital, some notices from around the state, outside these five counties, can be
found in this database.
