Family Records indicate that SAMUEL STONE married sisters. First MARY EMILY O'KANE and second CATHERINE O'KANE. I have proven he did marry two such ladies, but I have not proven them to be or not to be sisters. My Dad, as well as other family members spoke of TIJLLIUS O'KANE as a cousin. He was well known in the late eighteen hundreds as a religious song writer and publisher in Ohio. I have proven him to be a son of JAMES and JULIA (WILLIAMS) O'KANE. I will include a summary of my research in this article. I will also include a summary of my material on CAPTAIN JAMES O'KANE. As a result of five years research, hundreds of letters, many unanswered, probe of Courthouse Records, Cemeteries and Archives, I believe the following to be our Ancestoral Lineage. Perhaps someone will someday use this material as a guideline to prove our Scotoh-Irish heritage.

I. O'KANE, HENRY, marriage bond, dated 8-June-1793 In Campbell County, Virginia. THOMAS CLIFTON as Surety. To SARAH STEVENS.

The 1820 Census for Rockingham County, Virginia shows HENRY O'KANE:

1 male 16-18-born 1802-1804

1 male 45 & up b. before 1775
2 female 16-26-born 1794-1804
1 female 45 & up b. before 1775

The minutes of the court of Rockingham County, Virginia show that there was a deed from Caroline Miller to HENRY O'KANE in the year 1817, but the record was destroyed in Civil War. A deed recorded in Book 8-Page 531 in Rockingham County, Virginia, shows on 22-October-1828, a SARAH O'KANE, THOMAS COTTRELL and REBEKAH COTTRELL formerly REBEKAH O'KANE, his wife, JOHN O'KANE, HENRY O'KANE and BARBARA his wife, ELIZABETH ANN O'KANE and THOMAS O'KANE aid his wife ANN gave deed for 10 acres on SMITH CREEK to Patrick McManus. This would indicate that HENRY O' KANE was dead by 1828.

ISAAC JENNINGS appointed Administrator and ALDIN HEWITT and ISAAC WHITE Bondsman.
