Oeland, was born November 6th, 1771, "in Denmark, Jutland State, Town
Baebu. He emigrated to Charleston, S. C., date unknown, and engaged in
the mercantile business successfully," and subsequently removed to his
home near Glenn's Spring, February 8th, 1843. His first wife was Ann,
third daughter of Mr. J. Hodge, married May 10th, 1798. No children.
The second marriage was to Miss Catharine Louisa Faber, June 5th, 1836.
By this marriage were born two sons and a daughter."
One of the sons was Professor Peter J. Oeland, a graduate of South Carolina College, who for many years was a successful school-teacher in Spartanburg county. The other son was Dr. John Christian Oeland. The daughter, Miss Ann, became the wife of Dr. J. J. Vernon. |
