He shows up in Iowa in 1880 census in Lancaster, IA. He had told everyone that he was from TN. I can not find anything to even point me to a part of the state. I have gone through the civil war records for William S Oneil or Neil. Nothing matches his birth of 1846. I am going to Iowa in a few weeks to see what I can dig up down there. I made contact with a guy from the church down there.
