Biography

Othniel was born about 1731.

Othniel was killed by lightning when he was about 10 or 12 years old. The manner of the death of Othniel is related as follows: "He was standing behind the chair of Mary Green, then the wife of his brother John. Mary was spinning. The lightning was supposed to have been attracted by the wheel. The flax at the wheel took fire. Othniel was thrown into a closet standing open, and in the excitement of the moment the door was pushed to, and his death not discovered until late in the day."

He is buried at Kennett Friends Burial Ground, Kennett Square, Chester County, Pennsylvania, United States.
