      [HCM, p. 948]: John Odell was born in 1758 in Dutchess County, N.Y.. His wife, Enor Schriver, was also born in that State, Feb. 17, 1761, and to their union a family of ten children were born -- William, Peter, Joshua S., Albert S., John, James, Rebecca (who married a Mr. Doty), Martha (wife of Ezra Griffith, the first tax collector of Westminster Township), Hannah and Loop. During the American Revolution, John Odell was a Loyalist, and left the State of New York shortly after 1785, and settled near Montreal, Canada, where he passed the remainder of his days. All his children, with the exception of Loop, who died in Lower Canada, came to Westminster Township, Ont., his son Albert S. being the first one to come. The latter arrived in 1810, and the remainder of the family shortly after, his brother Joshua coming in 1811 and taking up 200 acres of land, on which he located and began clearing.

      [HCM, p. 950]: John Odell was born February 19, 1758, and was married on the 17th day of February, 1779, to Miss Enor Schriver, who was born February 17, 1761. Their sons and dughters are as follows: -- William (who was born February 17, 1782), Peter (born November 17, 1783), Johanna (born September 1, 1785), Albert S. (born May 26, 1787), John (born May 18, 1789), James (born July 19, 1791), Rebecca (born September 19, 1793), Martha (born January 15, 1796), Hannah (born April 1, 1798), and Loop (born March 1, 1802). [The third child was given by William Odell as Joshua S., instead of Johanna.]
