Descendants of Austin O’Dell
Back to nine generations plus

The information on this page is based on the following sources:

"History and Genealogy of the Pamela O’Dell - Henry Moore Branch of the Austin O’Dell Family" compiled by Murray C. Combs

"Genealogy of the descendants of Lieut. Jesse Prentice and Elizabeth Belcher Prentice, compiled by M. C. Thompson". [ Binghamton Printing and Binding - 1931 ]

"History of Stony Creek" volume I, 1988, and volume II, 1996 by David and Edythe L. Haskell, { both in Limited Editions }

The Stony Creek Historical Association and the help of the Stony Creek Town Historian and Town Clerk.

Family and "related Family" genealogy records, L.D.S. PAF records, and etc. compiled by Grant and Gladys O’Dell Prentice. It is noted at this time that we dedicate this Prentice and O’Dell endeavor, to our mother (s) Leila Annora Guinup-Prentice and Ruth Electa Mattison-O’Dell, who left enough "bits and pieces of our family history", after their deaths, for us to get started on these projects……….those who follow will have the opportunity to continue where Gladys and I left off…..
