| Anecdote | 30 March 1763 | On 30 Mar 1763 in Accomack Court Rodger Abbot vs John Only was agreed and dismissed.8 |
| Biography* | 1765 | In his attempt to find his Onley ancestors in 1983, Mr. Carlton T. Lane of LaMarque, TX hired Dr. Jerry L. Cross of Zebulon, NC who sent him at least two letters dated 22 Nov and 8 Dec 1983 with the results of his research, which is the source of much of the information to follow on this branch of the Onley family. Dr. Cross traced the line back to a John Onley who first appeared in North Caroline records in 1769 when he bought 160 acres in Chowan County. Dr. Cross reported that this part of Chowan Co was cut off to form Gates Co in 1779 which explains why John Onley appears in both county records during this period. Dr. Cross also reported that this John Onley may have come to this part of North Caroline from Accomack County, VA as there was a large presence of Onleys in early Accomack Country records. To follow up on this suggestion in 1984 Mr. Lane hired Mrs. Nora Miller Turman of Accomack Co, VA to conduct further research to see if the Onley family of NC came from Accomack County. When Mrs. Turman sent him the results of her research in a letter dated 7 Dec 1984 she noted, "I have never found as few court entries on a family to work from as this one." Mrs. Turman's research was not conclusive, but she did imply that the John Onley in NC in 1769 could have come from Accomack Co, VA. Then in 2011 Mr. Ed Onley III of Moore, OK, hired M.K. Miles (co-author of the Eastern Shore of Virginia Public Library's web-based MilesFiles) to take another look at the Onley family of Accomack Co, VA. In the 28 years since Mrs. Turman's work, many of the early Accomack County court records have been transcribed with every name indexes, which has enabled a more in-depth look at the Onley family. It is now clear that there were two contemporary John Onleys in Accomack County about 1750, one the orphan son of Smith Onley and the other a son of William Onley Sr. who was named as John Onley in an inventory of a William Onley Jr. The conclusion at this time based on the records now available is that one of these Johns stayed in Accomack County and the other likely relocated to Chowan County, NC. Since there later appeared a Smith K. Onley in Accomack Co, it is assumed that John, the son of Smith Onley, stayed in Accomack and that John, the son of William Onley Sr., relocated to North Carolina.9 |
| Land bought* | September 1769 | He bought land in September 1769 at Chowan Co, NC.

| Land bought | 15 February 1772 | John (of Wm Sr) Onley bought land on 15 February 1772 at Perquimans Co, NC. It was on this date that John Only of Chowan Co bought 25 acres of 11 lbs adjoining Job and Docton Riddick.12 |
| Land sold* | 15 February 1772 | He sold land on 15 February 1772 at Chowan Co, NC.
