Thank you.
OK, here's another question for you on the OC dates This one is an excerpt from the Ancestry.ca-The Loyalists in Ontario
O'NEAL, James of Ernestown. Lieut., Loyal Rangers. Widow Elizabeth. OC 20 July 1797. Died 1784.
Margaret, m.---Johnson. OC 20 July 1797. OC 26 Feb 1798.
Richard. OC 2 Nov 1797
Alice, m. Thomas Cook Jr. of Town of Kingston 11 Sept 1803. OC 25 Feb 1806.
Mary, m. Moses Rogers, 26 Oct 1803. OC 26 Feb 1798. OC 2 June 1798.
From this, I'm gathering that James O'Neal was granted the OC on 20 July 1797, which went to his wife Elizabeth because he died in 1784.
Margaret must have gotten hers on 20 July 1797 (from her father's service) and her husband ---Johnson must have gotten his on 26 Feb 1798 because he must have had a father (or he himself) was entitled to land. Right?
Richard must have been over 21 and got it through his father.
Alice must have married Thomas Cook, Jr on 11 Sept 1803 and she got her own OC on 25 Feb 1806 through her father.
But what of Mary O'Neal and Moses Rogers? I'm guessing they got married on 26 Oct 1803, so maybe she was younger than 21; but she also received her own OC through her father James on 26 Feb 1798; and her husband Moses got his own OC through his own service or through his father's service on 2 June 1798? Am I reading that correctly?
Here's another question for you. How do I find out if Moses received his OC because of himself or because of his father; and if it was because of his father, how do I find out who his father was?
Thank you. Even if these other questions aren't answered, just explaining what OC means was very helpful.
