Description
This collection contains the personal, business, and legal papers of the O’Neill family of Drew and Bradley counties in Arkansas.
Biographical/Historical Note
John O’Neill and his family came to Arkansas in 1834 and settled on Ten Mile Creek, west of present-day Monticello. This was part of a large land grant in what is now Drew and Bradley counties, given to O’Neill for his service in the War of 1812 as aide to General William Henry Harrison. At the start of the Civil War, John O’Neill sold the Drew County land and moved to Texas where he operated O’Neill Station on the Old Chisholm Trail. The family returned to Corinth, Bradley County, after the war.
