Genealogy Research For Parents Of William O`dell Born 24 April 1825 Monroe County New York Died 18 March 1895 Flint, Genesee County Michigan

William O`Dell, NY, OHIO, MICHIGAN.....Researching my uncle`s g grandfather, William O`Dell, who has been a brick wall ,for way to many years. William O`Dell was born 24 Apr 1825 in Monroe County, New York. He married Margaret Hardy, 22 Jan 1846 in Ashtabula County, Ohio. We have all of their info from when they got married to their deaths in Flint, Genesee County, Michigan. William died 18 Mar 1895, Flint, Genesee County, Michigan. Death info says that he was the son of Jonas O`Dell and Betsey ?. My uncle`s family say`s that Jonas was 3rd generation of Jonas O`Dell`s. I have found only one family with 3 generations of Jonas O`Dell, New York, an my uncle`s g grandfather William O`Dell, does not fit into that family. I did go to Flint in the Fall of 2009 to visit friends an family. While there I went to the Flint Public Library and found William`s obituary. In it, it said: He also leaves a sister, Mrs. Miriba Smith of Davison, a sister living in Pennsylvania and two in Ohio. I do believe that I have found Miriba, who was Maribah O`Dell Allen Smith, born abt 1813/1816, New YorK. She died 21 Sept 1902, Davison, Genesee County, Michigan. Her death info only say`s that a J. O`Dell was her father. The name George keeps showing up since William. I informed my aunt that the name George means something. The name George has been over used since William. I believe that the name George is from Betsey`s side of the family. I decided to research the name George O`Dell, Ohio. I found a George O`Dell who died in 1887, Brunswick, Medina County, Ohio. His parents were Jonas O`Dell and Betsey Rich. They all show up on a 1850 census for Parma, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, under head of household, Jonas Odle. On that census with them is Lucy, born1834 New York, Pamelia, born 1829 Canada, and a John, born 1763 Ohio. I found that Pamelia was George`s wife. I found Lucy`s death info, which has her as Lucy O`Dell Beakam ( I think it`s to be Beaham ) Toerl, born 25 Jul 1831 New York, died 30 Mar 1915, Brunswick Twp, Medina County, Ohio. Parents, Jonas O`Dell and Betsey Rich. I have now found another daughter for Jonas and Betsey. Sara C, O`Dell Tomb. Her death info, born abt. 1836 Rochester, New York, died 10 Apr 1922, Brunswick Twp, Medina County, Ohio, burial Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Parents Jonas Dodell and Betsey Rich.

Joseph Haslam b abt.1805 Ireland d July 1877 in Greenbush, Sheboygan County Wisconsin

I have looked in alot of data bases an nothing shows up on my family in Ireland. Joseph Haslam b. abt. 1805 in Ireland, d July 1877 in Greenbush, Wisconsin. He married Mary Hennessey, b abt. 1804 in Ireland. d 5 Sept 1888 in Greenbush, Wisconsin. They show up in the 1860 Census in Greenbush with their 2 daughters, Julia b. 6 June 1846 in Queens County, Ireland and Bridget b, 29 Sept 1849 in Queens County, Ireland. I know that Queens County is now Laios County. Joseph an Mary may have had other daughters. A tree for my Desonia``s was emailed to me a few weeks ago. This tree was compiled in 1966. In it was a hand written page with Joseph and Mary Haslem and their children, Julia, Bridget with their birthdates and Ann Haslam Davoy, Lizzie Haslam Taylor, Mira Haslam O`Brion and Alice Haslam Skelton. I did find Ann as Anna at family search, her death info, which has her birthdate as Feb 18 1834 in Ireland. I did find Mary Hennessey Haslam at Find A Grave. Her headstone reads Native of Marysborough, Queens County, Ireland.
