  Notes	She was called "Lady Grace" and was first cousin of Admiral James O'Neal, famous in the naval service of King Charles I, with whom he was a favored officer.     Grace O'Neil's home was Dunluce Castle, near Giant's Head, Ireland.  It is said she fled England for Jamestown in disguise to escape a distasteful and obnoxious court marriage.  After surviving a shipwreck near the coast of Bermuda, she arrived in Bermuda aboard H.M.S. Diana in 1618.  She and her husband, Edward Waters, were captured during the Indian Massacre of Elizabeth City, Virginia, in 1622, but later escaped to Jamestown.     After the death of Edward Waters in 1630, Grace O'Neal Waters married Obedience Robins, also widowed, in 1639.  Her son, William Waters, married Margaret Robins, the daughter of Obedience Robins by his first wife.
