2. SARAH2 YOUNG (WILLIAM1) was born Abt. 1732, and died Abt. 1806. She married WILLIAM O'NEALE, JR. Abt. 1766, son of WILLIAM O'NEALE and ELEANOR BALL. He was born Abt. 1730 in Frederick Co. Maryland (Source: Frederick County Rent Rolls 1771-1772, "Electronic," Rent Due on Land in Frederick County, 1771-1772, A List of Persons who stand charged with lands on Frederick County which are under such circumstances as rendered it out of the Power of George Scott, Farmer of the said County to collect the Rents and therefore Claims Allowance under his articles for the same - from March 1771 to March 1772.O'NEILL, William Laurance (addl).), and died February 13, 1812.

Notes for WILLIAM O'NEALE, JR.:

William O'Neale, called Jr.in Thomas Ball's Will, was a petit juror in 1774 in Frederick Co., in the case of Proprietary vs. Willliam Vermilion and in an early case in Montgomery Co., and was one of the first two persons appointed to a guardianship in that county.

He served in the Montgomery Co. militia during the Revolution and subscribed the oath of fidelity and allegiance in that county. He was married twice, first about 1766 to Sarah Young (1742-1806), daughter of William and Eleanor Young, of Prince George Co. She was the mother of his three children.

His second wife and he were married in 1806, she being Sarah (Beall) Adams (1743-1814), daughter of Robert Beall who died about 1788 in Montgomery Co., and widow of Benjamin Adams, to whom she had been married about 1768.

William O'Neale paid for pew 31 in Prince Georges Parish Church, Rock Creek. He died 13 February 1812. His widow, Sarah (Beall) O'Neale, made her Will two weeks later. It was probated 5 November 1814. She called herself widow of relict of William O'Neale and appointed Alexander Adams my son and my son -in-law Richard West executors and to them left all her property to be equally divided between them. On 26 February Sarah O'Neale, widow of William O'Neale renounced appointment as his administratrix and William O'Neale, Jr. was instead appointed administrator, his surety bond being fixed in the sum of 10, 000.00.

On 21 June 1813 William O'Neale Jr., brought a suit in chancery to divide the lands of William O'Neale, Sr., who died intestate and on the same day John Wade and Ann his wife brought another suit to divide the land of Thomas West, whose wife had been Eleanor O'Neale.

As a result of these suits we have the names of the children and all or most of the grandchildren of William O'Neale, Sr., as well as the names of his tracts owned at the date

of his death 13 February 1812, which were Exchange, New Exchange Enlarged, Piney Graove, Pig Pen, Wheel of Fortune, The Risque, Spital Fields, Adamson's Choice, Hard Bargain, Allison's Discontent, Smock Alley, Constant Friendship, Thompson's Adventure, Cleared Marsh, I Am Content, and Pleasant Mountains.

In the first of suits above mentioned it is recited that William O'Neale, Sr., left three children, to witness: William O'Neale, Jr. Eleanor West, widow of Thomas West and Ann Middleton, wife of Samuel Middleton, Ann who is since dead, leaving William O'Neale Middleton, Thomas Jefferson Middleton, Benjamin Franklin Middleton, Elizabeth Middleton, and Matilda Middleton, all under 21. The matter was not then settled, for William O'Neale and his sister Eleanor West filed a petition 5 August 1825 in another chancery proceeding then pending, which shows that their father William O'Neale of Montgomery County died possessed of 180 acres, being part of Resurvey on Wheel of Fortune, Partnership, and Hard Bargain, intestate some years ago, leaving them of full age, as Samuel Middleton, the husband of Ann, daughter of the said Wm. O'Neale, deceased, who died leaving as his heirs living:Elizabeth Burkit Birckhead, Matilda, since married to Isaac Riley, and Thomas J. Middleton and Benj. F. Middleton, both minors.

Notes for ERASMUS WEST:

Erasmus' mother, Eleanor O'Neale was a member of a very prominent family. They appear in Charles County in the early history of Maryland, and the writer was told by one of the descendants, that they belonged to the family of Lord O'Neale of Ireland. It seems for a time that the name was shortened to Neale, but later generations replaced the "O" which had been dropped. They were intermarried with prominent families in Prince George's County, and also intermarried among themselves very frequently.
