William O'Dell

Born: November 14, 1634, Cranfield, Bedford, England

Died: by 1700 Rye, Westchester County, NY

Buried: Unknown

Married: Sarah Vowels/Vowles, 1665 in Rye, Westchester Co., NY.  

Other names: Used spelling Woodhull instead of O'Dell in a petition dated Oct. 2, 1662.  

Biography: Odell. William, was perhaps a son of William Odell of Concord, Mass. (Savage.) If so, he came over at the age of five years in 1639 with his father, who settled in Fairfield. William Odell was one of the first settlers of Rye. He was with the Hastings planters in 1662, and continued here apparently until his death, which occurred between 1697 and 1700. He had land in the various divisions during his life. His house-lot, afterward John Brondige's, was about the northern part of Mr. J.E. Corning's garden. He married a daughter of Richard Vowles of Rye. Our records mention his sons John and Samuel. The latter is not mentioned by Mr. Bolton in the pedigree which he gives of William Odell's descendants (History of Westchester Co., Vol. II, p. 536); according to which, William had five sons, Stephen, John, Michael, Isaac and Jonathan. Perhaps the first name should read Samuel.
