      History of Odell name

      Last name at birth for William should be Odell, not O'Dell. William and his descendants were all born with the last name of Odell until at least 1860. It wasn't until Irish immigrants started arriving that the name started to be misspelled as O'Dell. Census takers and others started the misspelling thinking that any name that started with an O & D, must be Irish and should have an apostrophe. But Odell is not Irish, it is English and should not be spelled that way. Eventually, some Odells who had their names misspelled, started using the apostrophe version. And their descendants all used O'Dell. To verify this, I did a last name search for the Census of 1860. There are about 5,000 Odells in that census. I could not find any of them who spelled the name with an apostrophe. Then I checked the 1910 Census, and there were about 800 people who now used O'Dell, the rest still used Odell. Probably more started using O'Dell after 1910. Added by Thomas Odell 1/6/2019
