I found this information in a book, and thought that I might share it with other Odell researchers. I would appreciate any additions or corrections, especially on my line which came to the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia (later to Tennessee).
My line:
William Odell-d.1676 CT Immig.1639 to MA
WIFE?
William Odell II-MA, CT, to NY
married Sarah Vowells
Samuel Odell d1780 and Elizabeth d1790
MAIDEN NAME? MARRIAGE DATE?
James Odell 1738-1806 & Elizabeth (Plumley?)
Jeremiah Odell b1782 and Mary "Polly" Menefee
Died? Where? (probably east TN)
...also Jeremiah's brother John who married Nancy Yates in Culpeper Co.,VA)
"The O'DELLS of the United States trace back to a common ancestor, William O'Dell of Concord, Massachusetts Bay Colony, their Puritan father who settled there in 1639. He came from the family seat in ____fordshire, England, with a group of Puritan friends under the leadership of Reverend Peter Bukeley and Reverend John Jones. Theirs was the first inland settlement in Massachusetts. They purchased their land from the Indians, dealing with the ruler, Squaw Sachem.
In 1644, William O'Dell, with his sons, William II and John and his son-in-law Samuel Morehouse, removed to Fairfield, Connecticut where he died in 1676. (Will on record)
The sons of John were Samuel and John Jr., who married Temperance Dickinson, Daughter of the first President of Princeton University. They became the parents of Reverend Jonathan O'Dell. The family originally belonged to the Church of England , but later they joined other churches.
William II established his family on Long Island Sound, in what is now Westchester County, New York. He was known as one of the proprietors of Tye, a company organized to purchase lands from Indians, to live on the lands and to dispose of them as a group. So successful was the venture that the company was increased from twelve to eighteen proprietors and two other purchases made, "Lame Will" and "White Plains." The final distribution of ths project was not made to the O'Dell heirs until 1720. William married Sarah, daughter of Richard Vowels (1635-1697). Their children were: John, Samuel, Jonathan, Isaac, Stephen, Sarah, who married John Archer , and Mary who married Matthew Valentine, from whom it is thought the Cocke County Valentines descend.
His eldest son, John O'Dell, received one-half of his father's property and his sons and grandsons settled along the Hudson River in Philipse Manor. They rendered valuable aid to General George Washington in his New York Campaign during the Revolutionary War, and from his son John descends Governor Benjamin O'Dell of New York.
The other half of William O'Dell's property was deeded to the younger sons. The southern O'Dells are related to Samuel, Isaac, and Stephen O'Dell. The Maine family descends from Reginald O'Dell; the Maryland Family, From Thomas.
In 1730, the third generation of the New York O'Dells became attracted to the Shenandoah Valley by land grants. Samuel O'Dell settled South Branch, Shenandoah River, in 1744, and died in 1780; Caleb O'Dell settled Passage Creek and Powell's Fort in 1765, and died in 1798; John O'Dell settled North Branch, Shenandoah River in 1776.
Samuel O'Dell and his wife Elizabeth appear on the records in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia as having settled on the Lord Fairfax tract of land on Passage Creek near Powell's Fort, the old Dunmore County in 1753, but previously Augusta County, and later Frederick County and during the Revolution changed to Shenandoah. Samuel was one of the first justices of Frederick County, when it was taken off Augusta County in 1719, and Captain of Militia in the French and Indian War under Lieutenant Colonel Lord Fairfax and Major John Hite, son of Joist Hite. He lived below Riverton among the McKays, Jobs, Whitsons on the south bank of the Shenandoah River, and died in Shenandoah County in 1780, leaving his property to his wife and three sons; James, Samuel, and Jonathan. Their children were: Jeremiah, who married Leah Taylor, daughter of William Taylor and Leah McKay Taylor; Jonathan, who married Rachel McKay (or Whitson) and removed to Blount County, Tennessee; Benjamin, who married Mary Weaver, daughter of John George Weaver; Samuel, who married Elizabeth Job; James, who married Elizabeth Plumley, who died in Shenandoah County, 1807, leaving a will - their children were James, Abraham, Samuel, Jeremiah, John, Isaac, Jemima and Elizabeth; Rachel, who married Abraham McKay and moved to Cocke County, Tennessee; a daughter who married Alexander Mathes; Elizabeth, who married William David, son of John Davis."
I hope that this information will help someone. And I would greatly appreciate any additions or corrections.
