Actually, I'm kinda surprised no mention was ever made on the O'Neal/var. Website of Capt. Hugh O'Neal/var. (even if no one is his descendant), as Hugh O'Neal "Indian-fighter" and his nut-job wife the widow Vanderdonck (who practiced as a Surgeon in MD/VA, by virtue of the fact that she had formerly been married to one in Nieuw Amsterdam), and his even nuttier father-in-law Rev. Francis Doughtie, witch-hunter-extraordinaire, who all figure so prominently in the early histories of MA, RI, NY, MD and VA (Mr. Doughtie having the dubious honor of having been systematically expelled from ALL of those colonies, in that order, and usually with great fanfare!) We know this, thanks to their having been embroiled in endless legal actions in the various colonies mentioned, typically with the ruling authorities both ecclesiastic and civil, which records still exist to this day detailing their absolute insanity.
