Biography

Hugh is said to be the son of Brian MacPhelim O'Neill and Eleanor Magennis O'Neill, and is the lost heir of Shane's Castle in Antrim, Ireland. [1] He is also said to be the son of “French John” O’Neill and Charity Dixon. The truth is unknown.

Hugh is thought to have arrived in Delaware in approximately 1730-1735 [2] when he is said to have abandoned duties while a Captain Major in the Royal Navy [3], jumping ship while docked in the Delaware Bay. In doing so, he forfeited rights to the O'Neill fortune in Ireland. He was a descendant of Conn mac Cuinn O'Neill, last King of Tir Eógain (Tyrone). [4]
