Discrepancy

  • Some sources show that Elizabeth Duncan was a widow with two children. It indicates that Duncan may not be her last name at birth.
  • Several Name Variations and spellings used in Court documents (with and without the apostrophe mark) OBannon; O'Bannon O'Banion, Obanion etc.
  • Most commonly used is the "O'Bannon" spelling for this family.
  • The O'Bannon surname may be derived from the Irish names Bann, Bannan, Bannon or O'Banain, according to "Irish Pedigrees" by John O'Hart, (Dublin 1892), Volume 1, pg. 855. Volume 2, pg. 566. The spelling has been variously referenced as O'Bannon, O'Banyan, O'Bannion, O'banion, Obannon, Obanyan, or Obannion.
  • Some researchers indicate Elizabeth is believed to have been the widow of Joseph Duncan at the time of her marriage to William. (Most likely erroneous) It is presumed that the Joseph referred to is the same Joseph who married Lydia Hooe, whose children married children of Elizabeth and William O'Bannon. Lydia was named in Joseph's 1792 will; Lydia died in 1797.
Revised Estimated Birth 1715-1720 (vs 1712)
Estimated Marriage 1735
Revised Estimated Death 1771
  • Elizabeth may have died after 1771 (vs Before 1750). A William O'Bannon appears in the Fauquier County Minute Book Abstracts 1769-1771 at least two times (indenture named "wife Elizabeth". Whether or not it is William (b. 1710-1712), William (b. 1730, or William (b. 1738) is not known at this time. Additional research on the matter is necessary[1]

Research Notes - Spouse William

William O'Bannon was the second son of the pioneer Bryant O'Bannon presumed to be from Ireland, b.supposedly about 1683 somewhere in Ireland (Tipperary not proven), d.about 1762 (will probated 1762) Wm's Will/probate Not Found -- some say d. Abt. Oct 1778, Burke Co., GA others say Carolinas)). Land Grant Date: 1 OCT 1764 Faquier Library of Virginia O'Bannon Wills [Add under Bryant?] [Brother] John dated Nov. 18 1783; probate March 28 1774[7]

It was according to a Bible held by John Dawson O'Bannon that Bryant's wife was one Zena Sarah Isham, b. probably abt. 1685 probably in VA, d.bet. 1720 and 1760 in Fauquier Co, VA. The Bible got burned in a house fire without ever being photocopies, and the person who had possessed that Bible died (2008)[8]

Sources

  • The Family of Thomas O'Bannon of Fauquier Virginia and Barnwell County SC. Author: Elizabeth DeHuff Augusta, Georgia Publication: 1969 on Page 47 shows that Elizabeth Duncan was a widow with two children when she married William O'Bannon. The children were a son Joseph Duncan and a daughter Catherine Duncan.
  • Speculation: The most likely parent would be John Duncan of Faquier. Several O'Bannon relationships with Duncans through James Duncan and Lydia Hooe Family. The estimated birth and location (Hamilton Parish) fits this group of Duncans, although no proof of daughter Elizabeth (no will for John).
  • An alternate possibility would be daughter of James Duncan and Elizabeth Jennings of Westmoreland Co.
  • The Family of Thomas O'Bannon of Fauquier Virginia and Barnwell County SC. Author: Elizabeth DeHuff Augusta, Georgia Publication: 1969 on Page 47 shows that she was a widow with two children when she married William O'Bannon.

I merged them but the profile needs improvement. A bio should be written that pulls in the references in-line. I will try to work on this again soon.
