July 18, 2002:

Al, 
Thank you for your email.  I am sorry to take so long to reply - my family has 
been here for an extended visit. 

I was very interested in your site and I have attached the information I have 
on the O'Neil (l) / Sullivan line.  Please feel free to edit and post. 

Most of the information came from my Grandfather John Martin O'Neil.  I have a photo 
of  him standing in front of the school in Canada and also one of  John and 
Margret Sullivan O'Neil. 

I would like to be able to take their line back to Bytown and Ireland.  I do not 
know the name of the ship they were on on their trip from Ireland. 

more later, 
Ann 


(1) 1 John O'NEIL
----------------------------------------
Birth:	May 1807, Drinagh, Ireland
Death:	Possible - Illinois

Extracts from a letter to John O'Neil from his sister-in-law Flora Sullivan dated 
Sept 11th 1850, Dreeny, Ireland (now Drinagh, County Cork).
In this letter she advises them the daughter they left in Ireland when they sailed 
for Canada passed away six months later.
She also informs them that the two daughters of John's sister Mary had gone to the 
USA.  The name of one was Johannah O'Neil and her address was Leominister, Mass.
She also mentioned a brother-in-law Cornelius Sullivan.
"John O'Neil with his wife Margret came to Canada from Ireland on or before 1830, 
his wife's name before marriage was Margret Sullivan. 
They settled for a time in what was then known as By-town, now the City of Ottawa, 
Ontario.  My father Timothy Sullivan O'Neil was born at Van Click Hill in or near 
Ottawa. (Note: Vankleek Hill is a village about 70 miles east of Ottawa ... Al)
Later the family moved and settled in the then forest on the Rideau River near 
Wellington or Kars P.O.  They were pioneer's. (Note: Kars was originally called
Wellington ... Al)
Here the family cleared the land and built their homes.  My father married a neighbor's 
daughter, Laney Jane Schwerdfeger. I was born on this farm, also my sister Mary Ann and 
my brother George."
