Family Tree- O'Kelley to McDermott

Lineage from David O'Kelley & Jane Powell to the Family of George McDermott

*Please note, I have given all of the children I know about for the first two generations. We are descended through two branches, so I gave all the children I know about up to that point, where the two branches merge. It was not unusual for people to marry cousins, especially at that time in America. There were not that many families and by the third or fourth generation, it was likely that nearly everyone in your area was a cousin, so your prospects were slim if you wanted to marry anyone else.
