According to source #5, page 47, Caleb married Alice Newman, daughter of Samuel Newman, in North Carolina.
What is the evidence for a Newman-Thorne connection?
O'Dell-340 and Odell-1891 appear to represent the same person because: These are both the same person. Same birth date, same death date, same spouse.
The last name at birth should be spelled Odell, not O'Dell. The variation of spelling the name with an apostrophe did not appear until after 1850. All documents and gravestones made before 1850 always had the name spelled Odell. This name originated in the village of Odell, England. It is not an Irish name.
O Dell-543 and O'Dell-340 appear to represent the same person because: represent same individual (see research at O_Dell-69)
Caleb O'Dell son of Issac and Sarah Hoyt Birth Estimate 1725 Eastchester, Westchester, New York Marriage Estimate 1745-1748 Alice Death Estimate 1798 Washington, Tennessee
(also proposing merge on Son Caleb (b. 1750) m. 2X - Abigail Plumlee (Plumbly, Plumley) and Margaret "Peggy" Boring) (other dup children as applicable)
