About Elijah O'Dell

notes

from Some known descendants of Jeremiah and Rachel Walters Odell

Samuel Oldale/Odale (ca. 1640-ca. 1705) emigrated from England in 1677 and settled in the Yorkshire Tenth, which was Quaker country in the Delaware River area, a few miles north of Burlington, New Jersey. Sometime before the turn of the century, Samuel and his son, Lemuel Oldale, migrated to Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Samuel died there. His descendant of the 5th generation, Jeremiah Odell (1761-1842), a Revolutionary War soldier, was born in Powell's Fort, Frederick County, Virginia, the son of Elijah Odell. He married Rachel Walters (1763-1846) in 1782 in Shenandoah County, Virginia. They had at least ten children, ca. 1783-1810. The family migrated to Greenbrier County, [West] Virginia, ca. 1798. Jeremiah and Rachel Odell are buried at Mt. Nebo, Nicholas County, [West] Virginia. Known descendants lived in West Virginia, Ohio and elsewhere. Many descendants add an apostrophe to the surname "O'Dell".



Elijah married Ann O’Dell c. 1760
