Notes


Whether Benjamin Oney II was born in Providence, RI to Stephen Olney and Rachel Coggswell or born probably in New Jersey to Benjamin Oney and Ann Wilson is still a mystery. Another source reports he was born in Oxford, England to a Benjamin Oney of VA. Benjamin Oney II and Jemima were living on the Delaware River on the Jersey side, not far form Burlington, above Philadelphia, when their oldest child Joseph was born. Two more sons were born either in New Jersey or Frederick Co., VA, where Benjamin and Ann apparently lived for a time. By the time son James was born, about 1770-1775, Benjamin Oney II was living in Tazewell Co., VA. Tazewell is considered one of the counties that was commonly where settlers awaited the opening of Indian lands to the west, now Tennessee and Kentucky. However, probably due to his advancing age, Benjamin Oney II lived there until his death in 1801.
