This is not my direct Odell line, but I have seen other postings indicating that the elder David Washington Odell's parents are Benjamin Odell II and Mirium Mary McKay who married abt 1800 in Cocke Co, Tennessee. I have gathered some info on this line as my Odells were also in Shenandoah Co., VA. But I can't vouch for the accuracy of this information. This may help you get started in your research.
Benjamin O'dell (II-the 2nd) is said to have been born August 11, 1771 in Shenandoah Co., VA or in NC, the son of Benjamin Odell and Mary Weaver. He died in Cocke Co., TN May 28, 1840. Merium Mary McKay is probably the daughter of of Abraham McKay and Rachel Odell who married abt 1774 in Frederick Co., VA.Merium was born abt Aug. 11, 18890French Broad River, Cocke Co., Tn or NC, and died Jan 16, 1850 at French Broad River, Cocke Co., TN.
Both the Odells and McKays left Shenandoah Co., VA and ended up in Cocke Co., TN.
Benjamin Odell and Merium are said to have these children:
1-Phoebe abt 1803
2- Nancy abt 1805
3- Lewis abt 1807
4- William abt 1808
5- David Washington Sep 26, 1811
6- Job abt 1812
7- Abraham abt Oct 13, 1817
8- Mary McKay March 26, 1820
It is possible that Benjamin Odell b abt 1741, and died abt 1810 French Broad River, Buncombe, NC,is the brother of my James Odell of Shenandoah Co., VA.
Again, I cannot vouch for the accuracy of this information, but it may provide you with some leads.Please keep in touch and let me know what you find out. We might be kin.
