Notes

: From Doliante:

: p. 461:: "None of the births of the children of Thomas and Margaret have everbeen located in any of the extant old Maryland Parish Records – which is very odd indeed, and prevents us from being absolutely certain that we have identified all of their children – and from knowing the precise order if their births."

: p. 465:: "(I.) James Odell, prob. b. C1726, Pr. Geo’s Co.,… d. bef. Aug, 12, 1763, Fred. Co., Md. ... He m. C1747, in Md., Martha Prather, dau. of John Smith & Elizabeth (Nuthall) Prather. She was b. Apr. 20, 1730, Pr. Geo’s Co. ; d. aft. 1790, prob. in North or South Carolina..."

: p. 468:: "The children of James and Martha (Prather) Odell, as named in the Aug. 11, 1779 account record… were (not necessarily in order of theirbirths… )::: "i. Mary Odell, b. Jan. 16, 1748, prob. Fred. Co., Md.; d. bef. Jul. 18, 1822… , Newberry Dist., S. C., m. C1766, prob. Fred. Co., Thomas Duckett, son of Jacob and Sarah (Odell) Duckett, and her first cousin. He was b. Nov. 24, 1744, Pr. Geo’s Co., Md.; d. Sept. 1824, Newberry Dist., S. C…:: "ii. Rev. Thomas Odell, b. May 15, 1752, Fred. Co., Md.; d. Aug. 25, 1827, Decatur, O.; m. (1) C1771, Fred. Co., _____ (Garrett), dau. ofJohn Garrett of that county,… d. bef. Nov. 1, 1775, the date of herfather’s will… He married (2), 1778, in Md., Grace “Gracey” Austin, who was b. Sept. 22, 1756, in Wales; d. July 6, 1835, in Odell, Ind."

: p. 546:
: "Con’t issue of James and Martha (Prather) Odell::: "iii. John Prather Odell, b. C1750/55, Frederick Co., Md.; d. aft Feb. 1836, prob. S. C.; m. Mary Bourland, dau. of William Bourland…"

: p. 558:
: "Con’t issue of James and Martha (Prather) Odell::: "iv. Margaret Odell, mentioned in the Distribution of Estate papersof her deceased father as “Margaret Rogers” – therefore, by 1779, she had m. one _____ Rogers. It appears her husband was Gassaway Rogers…:: "v. Elizabeth Odell,… was mentioned as an heir to her father… as, “Elizabeth Garrett”; therefore, by 1779, she had m. one _____ Garrett,… [believed] to be Nathan Garrett, son of John Garrett of Frederick Co., Md.…"

: p. 559::: "vi. Eleanor Odell, mentioned in the Distrn. of Estate papers… 1779, was called, “Eleanor Robertson”. [husband believed to be John]:: "vii. Rachel Odell, b. Frederick Co., Md.; d. aft. 1806, Iredell Co., N. C.; m. by 1779, prob. in Montg. Co., Md., David Beall, who died testate, 1806, Iredell Co.…"

: p. 560::: "viii. Martha Odell, mentioned in the Distribution of Estate papersof her deceased father, in 1779, as “Martha Jeans”. Her husband was Joseph “Joe” Jeans. (This surname sometimes given as Janes/Jones, but Jeans or Jeanes was apparently the correct spelling.) He d. testate bet. dates of July 21, 1826, & Sept. 7, 1826…"

: p. 561::: "ix. Sarah Odell, m. her cousin, Jacob Duckett, Jr. …her issue listed in the Duckett chapter, under her husband’s entry.:: "x. Reginald Odell, possibly b. 1760/66, Frederick Co., Md.; d. 1805, Newberry Co., S. C.; m. his first cousin, Mary (Duckett) Williams, widow of Baruch Williams, and dau. of Jacob & Sarah (Odell) Duckett. She was prob. first m. C1772, and therefore must have been b. at leastby C1757, if not before, and in Fred. Co., Md. She also d. 1805, in Newberry Co., S. C., but sometime after Reginald’s death.": Doliante also notes that his name is frequently misspelled as Rignalor Regnal, and explains why James and Martha Odell have been identified as his parents, and not John and Eleanor Odell, as had been given in some earlier genealogies.

: p. 584:
: "Last issue of James and Martha (Prather) Odell::: "xi. Charlotte Odell was unm. In 1779… and was undoubtedly still a minor. We know nothing further of her with any certainty…"
