         War of 1812 - O’Neals who fought in the War of 1812

 

 

 

 

 

Close to 200 of our collective O’Neal ancestors fought for various American forces in the War of 1812.   This list provides as complete of an inventory of all of the soldiers with that surname from this war as can be found at any one place on the internet.  

 

It is provided here both as a tribute to these brave men as well as an aid in helping you advance your research in Military records for your O’Neal ancestors from this era. 

 

The table below contains a transcript of all O’Neal soldiers found in the National Archives official Record Group M602, Microfilm Roll 156 in their collection housed at the National Archives building in Washington D.C.  entitled Index to Compiled Service Records of Volunteer Soldiers During The War of 1812.

 

This page contains the entries found on this roll of microfilm for all individuals with the surname O’NEAL or any derivation of O’NEAL.   ( I did not transcribe those with surname of NEAL or other forms of NEAL ).

 

Footnotes for each column containing additional detail are located at the end of the list below.
