John O'Sheal was born about 1761 in Granville County, North Carolina. He died between October 1844 and December 1844 in South Carolina.

John O'Sheal and wife 1 had son: 1. Daniel O'Sheal was born bet. 1785-1789.

John O'Sheal and wife 2 had the following children: 1. Margaret O'Sheal was born in 1790 in South Carolina. She died 1850 in South Carolina. She married Daniel McHam. 2. David O'Sheal was born abt. 1792 in South Carolina. He married Nancy. 3. John O'Sheal was born abt. 1795 in South Carolina. He married Charlotte Harrison. 4. Mary O'Sheal was born abt. 1797 in South Carolina. She married Daniel Grist. 5. William O'Sheal was born abt. 1800 in South Carolina. He died after 1861 in South Carolina. He married Elizabeth. 6. Unknown Female Child born bet. 1802-1806. 7. Elizabeth O'Sheal was born 1808 in South Carolina. She died in 1856 in Lamar County, Texas. She married Wyatt McHam. 8. Isaac O'Sheal was born abt. 1810 in South Carolina. He married Sarry, whose name could have been either Sarah or Mary. I have assigned Daniel O'Sheal as a child of John O'Sheal because I believe him to be the oldest grandchild of Daniel O'Sheal and Sarah Walker O'Sheal. I do not have the documentation to prove my case but simply believe it to be so for one reason. It has been stated by someone unrelated to the O'Sheal family that Daniel O'Sheal named above was the son of Treecy (Teresa) O'Sheal who was the daughter of Daniel O'Sheal and Sarah Walker O'Sheal. I find it very hard to believe Treecy (Teresa) would name her illegitimate son after her father. Some of the information about the children of John O'Sheal was extracted from the work of Judy McHam Davis who is a descendant of Elizabeth O'Shields and Wyatt McHam.
