Barbara,
I am not directly related to the O'Dears.My mother's brother was married to an O'Dear back in 1947.They divorced about 10 years later.I was doing some research on my Mom's family and got back into the O'Dear family as an allied line.I did a search on James Odell and found, I think, the one you're talking about.(Husband of Nancy Althea Medford) I'd never have thought to look for him under Odell.Is the one you found born in Mitchell County and died in Wilkes County, NC?Do you know if James 'Jim' remarried after his wife, Althea Medford O'Dear died in 1882?I did find the death certificate for Albert L. O'Dear, son of James and Althea (Letha) Medford O'Dear.You may have this info, but it states he was born in McDowell County on 11-6-1877 and died in Haywood County, NC on Jan. 6, 1957. Married Hestella 'Hester' Clark - 1885-1964.She was a daughter of David Clark and Martha Owens of Haywood County. I am still trying to find who the parents are of James O'Dear 1842-1931. I am now looking for more children for James and Althea.If you can help, I'd love to know more.
Anita
