There appears to be a wealth of information about the Steeves & Lutz family. Does anyone have information about William O'Neal who married Catherine Steeves?? I believe they married 12/11/1836 in Hillsborough,Albert Co.N.B. Catherine was born 1810 and died 10/30/1876. She was the daughter of William Steeves and Esther Beatty. William Steeves is the Jacob to Heinrich Stief line. William O'Neal appears on the 1881 Canadian census as a widowed, Irish, Weslyan Methodist,Farmer,etc......I am interested in any info about him and his parents,etc...I am his descendant by way of his son George Rufus O'Neal who immigrated to Provincetown,Mass.USA. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

Surnames: O'Neal
1851 census - Hillsborough, Albert Co., NB

William O'Neal, 41, b. NB, Irish, Farmer
Catherine, 41, b. NB
Nancy Amanda, 11, b. NB
George Rhufus, 9, b. NB
Mary Elizabeth, 3, b. NB

The only other O'Neal in that parish is John J. O'Neal, age 29, a shoemaker born in Ireland who came over to NB in 1835, living with his wife and kids, so if William's parents were living in the parish of Hillsorough, they must've already died by 1851.

Hello Carol,
I came across your post while looking for info on William O'Neal also. I am a descendant by way of his daughter Nancy. Nancy married a James O'Shaughnessy/Shaughnessy. Their daughter Catherine/Kate married Harry D. Steeves. His father was William, grandfather was Allan, great-grandfather was Matthias Steeves. Harry, Catherine and their children immigrated to Bridgeport, CT. Their daughter Margaret Mae Steeves Whaley is my grand mother. This makes William my great-great-great grandfather!!!!
When researching William in Canada you will find his last name spelled O'Neill or O'Neil
This is all I have so far. Hope it helps.

Wow!!! This thread may have found something really interesting for me on the O'Neills which I hadn't thought of before. I descend from the Shaughnessy's via William and Sarah Shaughnessy's daughter Sarah. I also have a Patrick O'Neill who married Rebecca Holland in Halifax in 1831. He was born between 1806 and 1810 and was from County Carlow, Ireland. Since William was born about 1810, it is very possible the two are brothers. If so, William's parents would be Patrick O'Neill and Eleanor Byrne, probably from County Carlow, Ireland.
