And we are, surely, on the same sinking ship, Alli. As stated before. If one studies the depositions of Rebecca Ellidge in her Dawes/Miller application then look for those of her sisters, Millie Moytoy Duncan, Elizabeth Pitts and any others they can find you will learn that Nancy Bowlin/Bolin was the mother of Alexander McDaniel. She was, possibly, a black woman. you can also study the depositions of Thomas Raper and Caty McDaniel, Jesse Raper and Mary McDaniel and James Raper with Susannah McDaniel. He was NOT the son of Granny Hopper UNLESS her white name was Nancy Bolin. These depositions plainly state that Alexander McDaniel was the half brother of James Matoy Each and every genealogical line we have traced all trace their heritage to the Matoys Joyce Gaston Reece
