Have seen the family name of McDaniel mentioned several times and am curious if any one is connected to Thomas McDaniel b. August 16, 1876  married to Antonia Smith ?  Thomas' Dawes Packet Cher # 1650. His Eastern Cherokee Application # is 12851.   Thomas and Antonia lived in the Warner (Pope Chapel) area in Muskogee County Okla.  They had about 8 children.  "Granny Mac" (Antonia) and one of her children's family were our next door neighbors (give or take a few miles).  Many of their children moved to the Yuba City California area.  Am not researching this line, just curious.  A familiar name and early childhood friend.   Thomas McDaniel, son of Sarah Simmons (daughter of Henry and Mary (Otterlifter)Simmons) and  Nelson McDaniel (son of John/Johnson McDaniel and Martha (Lee)  McDaniel). Sarah later married Thomas Fields, son of Richard Fields and Rachel Fields. Their son, Cornelius B. Fields,  Eastern Cherokee Application #5086, gives an extensive list of his family lines.           wanda
