Vicki, this may not add a great deal to your research, but there was a William Daniel, age 53, b. Pendleton District, SC, with wife Martha, age 50, b. Kentucky, with five children, living in Van Zandt Co., TX in 1850. I thought at first they might be related to my Daniel line, but have never connected. They were not there in 1860. The children were daughters Nancy and E.J. born Shelby Co., IL, daughter Elizabeth born Carroll Co., AR and sons Amon and Levi, born in Carroll Co. You may wonder how specific places of birth were given in the 1850 census. Apparently the census taker mistook "country of birth" for "county of birth", therefore giving county of birth. This might be some of your line.

Is anyone out there researching the Immigrant Daniel line of Prince George and Brunswick county, VA.? Especially the Hugh who married Ann and John Daniel Sr. who died in Henry county, VA. John Daniel Sr. was supposedly married to Elizabeth and after her death married a Sarah Weatherspoon. We have had our family descendants DNA tested using the 12 marker test and the 25 marker test, both Edward Daniel of Henry county, Va. and a Basil Daniel who was in SC. Pendilton District on the 1800 census matched, Basil was in Buncombe county, NC. as well, . Basil left and migrated to Shelby county, Illinois, and later on to Carroll county, Ark. Some of Edward Daniels children also migrated to Ark. Benton county about 1848. William Daniel who married Martha Mayes in Grainger county, Tn. settled in Ark. I am hopeing someone may know something about this bunch of Daniels, Gillium Daniel, Hugh, Richard, and Marmaduke Daniel, the family of Edward Tatum who married Martha Daniel. I feel that are connected to the Brunswick and Chatham county, Daniel families. Also I am including some information I found pertaining to a Samuel Witherspoon, supposedly the second wife of John Daniel Sr. was Sarah Weatherspoon, this Samuel Witherspoon was also in Shelby county, Ilinois with Basil. BIG SPRING TOWNSHIP (SHELBY COUNTY) IS situated in the extreme south-east part of Shelby county. It is bounded on the north by Ash Grove, west by Prairie township, south by Effingham county, and east by Cumberland county, and is six by nine miles in extent. The township is about equa lly divided between prairie and timber. The Little Wabash river passes through its entire length from north to south; along this stream the land is quite broken. The other streams are Copperas, Drake, Bills, Brush, Hog, Rattlesnake and Clear creeks -- all tributaries to the Wabash. The first settlers were: Fancher, Weatherspoon and the Daniels. B. Fancher settled the place where John Spain now lives, known as Big Spring Post-office, in 1827. Samuel G. Weatherspoon settled about a half a mile south of Big Spring, in 1828, near the Wabash; and the following year he built a small water-mill on this stream -- ground corn only -- it was considered at that time quite an improvement upon the horse-m ills. In 1832 he began grinding wheat, and instead of a bolt be used a sifter, also run by water-power. Two years later he put in an upright saw, which was quite an acquisition to this part of the country at that time, as here the early settlers could get timber sawed out without the expense of so much labor. Prior to the putting in of this saw, the lumber, what little was used in the early settlement of the country, was sawed out by the use of the whip-saw, where two logs were laid across a deep ravine; cross-timbers were then placed on these, and the log to be sawed was rolled on--one man stood above and one below, and by the use of a long thin saw they could turn out some very nice lumber; but it was a slow business, and! very hard work. The mill has lo ng since been washed away, and (Page 230) --------------------------------- hardly a sign of it now remains. But the mill and its surroundings are still bright in the memory of many an early settler in the eastern part of Shelby, northern part of Effingham, and western part of Cumberland counties. Weatherspoon made the first land entry in this township, June 14, 1832. He entered forty acres, the north-west quarter of the northeast quarter section twenty-nine, where he had previously settled and started an improvement; it is now a part of the A. Quicksall estate. Weatherspoon afte rwards removed to Texas. Bazel Daniel settled one-half mile north-east of Big Spring, about 1828. William Daniel built a cabin near Fancher's in 1831. Nathaniel Daniel built his cabin within half a mile of Big Spring the same year. Fancher and the Daniels only held "squatter claims." They improved about four acres each, on which they raised a little corn. However, they spent most of their time in hunting. Fancher left this country in the fall of 1832 for the west, and was soon follo wed by Bazel Daniel and his son William; Nathaniel and Amon remarried. The Daniels were from Tennessee. Bazel Daniel was a native of North Carolina. The second entry of land made in this township was by Francis Simpson, August 10th, 1833; he entered the extreme north-east forty in township, 10-6. The third entry was made by William Morgan, Feb. 8th, 1836; he entered the south-west quarter of the south -east quarter of section fourteen, in Copperas creek. The following November 30th, Preston Ramsey and Daniel Stuart entered forty acres each in the north part of the township. Ramsey's land was in section eighteen, and Stuart's in section five. Amon Danie l, son of Bazel, settled in the south part of the township, section five, in about 1835. Feb. 6th, 1837, he entered forty acres in this section the same day. Nathaniel Daniel entered forty acres in section eight. Amon Daniel raised quite a large family, a nd improved a food farm, where he resided until his death. Nathaniel raised a family of six children, and resided in the township until his death. Three of his children are now living. Paul Daniel in Prairie township, and! the other two in Texas. John Spain, a native of North Carolina, though from Tennessee, here came into the township in 1832. Eight years later he settled permanently at Big Spring, where he now resides. About thirty years ago he got a post-office established here, called Big Spri ng, and he has filled the office of post-master without intermission up to the present time. The mail route has been changed several times; when the office was first established, the mail came by the way of Cochran's Grove post-office. The mail now comes from Stewardson once a week. John Young, who lives in the east part of the township, near Copperas creek, settled there in 1840. For fourteen years previous to his settlement here, he lived in Coles county, about ten miles distant from where he now resides. He was a soldier in the Bl ack Hawk war, and went from Coles county under Captain Ross. Mr. Young was born on the road, while his parents were emigrating from Georgia to Kentucky in 1804. William Hart settled farther down the Copperas creek in about 1842. Thomas Robinson was the next to settle in this part of the township, and Charles Sawyer and John Waggoner soon followed. William Garrett settled in the north part of the township on the s ide of Wabash creek as early as 1841. Joseph Baker settled first on Sand creek, in the year 1827, and in 1845 moved to Big Spring township, and located on section 2, town. 9, range 2. Jesse and James Baker settled near by the following year. Among the first German settlers in the vicinity of Sigel were Harman Siemer, John Sankmaster, Joseph Luke, Henry Kateman and Joseph Werman. There is now a large German population throughout the township, so much so that the wooden shoe is in constant dema nd, and one of the prominent articles of trade in Sigel. The Germans here are a hard-working class of people, and are doing much towards the improvement of these lands. H. Siemer built a saw and grist mill about three-quarters of a mile northwest of Sigel in 1855; this mill had three run of burrs, and did a good business until about 1867, when it was moved into Effingham county. Siemer also had at this place a still house, where he made whiskey for several years, and until the high tax was put upon that a rticle, when he sold it out to one Zirngible, who carried on the business for about two years, when it became necessary for him to emigrate with his still, going to Missouri. The Swedes came into the township, and settled ! in the west and north part quite numerously about 1860. But in some way they became dissatisfied with the country, and the most of them have since left. The first school built in this township was in an empty cabin on the place of John Spain, Thomas Bell being among the first teachers. This cabin was used for school purposes for a number of years. Early preaching in the township was at the residence of John Spain, by the Baptists and Methodists. William Martin, Aaron Hood, and Thomas Frailkill were the first preachers. VILLAGE OF SIGEL WAS surveyed out on the line of the Illinois Central R. R. north, east quarter of section fourteen, by Charles R. Underwood, deputy county surveyor, June, 1863; for Theodore Hoffman, proprietor of the town. The first house built was a business house, where Martin Gay opened up a small stock of general merchandize in the fall of 1863 he was also the first postmaster; the post-office was called Hooker until 1871, when it was changed to Sigel. The building Gay occupied at that time is now used by A. C. Rea, as a residence. In 1864 Gay sold out to John Hemman, who began merchandizing, which business he followed until 1875, when he was succeeded by his son, Hugo Hemman and E. F. Hoffman. They now occupy the corne r building. It was erected by G. A Huffman in 1872. The building on the opposite corner was built by Frank Zirngible, one of the early merchants, in 1863 and '64; it is now occupied by B. H. Kohlmeyer. The second house was erected by Henry Berchtold, in 1863, for a hotel. His son, Henry Berchtold, jr., was the first birth in Sigel, January 13th, 1864. The City Hotel building, the largest in the place, was built by __________ Sherwood, in 1866 and '67. < P> John Perkins came to the place in 1864. He erected the building now occupied by C. Trager in that year, and opened a general store. The same year he built the mill now owned and run by John C. Knecht. It has three run of burrs, and receives a fair custom trade. Perkins built the store-house on the opposite corner, where he sold goods in 1866. He died the same year. His death was a severe blow to Sigel. He was a thorough business man, and did much in his short stay, towards building up and improving the to wn. There are two churches in the place -- Catholic and Lutheran. The Catholic denomination are at this time just finishing a handsome church edifice, in place of one recently burned. They had the misfortune also of having their school-building burned in Octo ber, 1880. It was a commodious structure. (Page 231) --------------------------------- The town commands the trade of an extent of good farming country. The building up of Stewardson on the Chicago and Paducah R. R., now Wabash, St. Louis and Paducah R. R., injured the place for a time quite perceptibly. But it has been fortunate in having for its business men, gentlemen of energy and enterprise, who have spared no pains to advance the interests of the place. The town is now represented by the following professional and business men. Physicians. -- J W. Wilhite, P. E. Chapman, William Bartles. General Stores. -- Hemman & Hoffman, B. H. Kollmeyer, H. J.

He is known as an energetic and enterprising business man; he was elected a member of the board of supervisors in 1879, discharged the duties of the position in a satisfactor! y manner, and was re-elected in 1880. EVAN BAKER THIS gentleman, one of the representative farmers of Big Spring township, is a native of Shelby county, and was born on the headwaters of Sand creek, in Windsor township, on the 15th of May, 1830. The family to which he belongs is of English and Ir ish descent. His grandfather, Joseph Baker, was born in North Carolina, and moved thence to Tennessee. He was a soldier in the war of 1812. His father, James Baker, was born in Tennessee. About 1820, soon after the admission of Illinois into the union as a state, when the tide of emigration from the south was strong, the family emigrated to Illinois and settled in Gallatin county. In that county James Baker, who was a boy when he came to this state, married (Page 232) --------------------------------- Margaret Emeline Patton, who was also born in Tennessee, and settled in Gallatin county about the same time with the Baker family. Soon after his marriage he settled on the head-waters of Sand creek, and was amo ng the early settlers of that part of the county, locating there in 1827. Evan Baker was the second of eleven children. When he was eleven years old his father moved to Richland township; afterward lived four years on a rented farm in the vicinity of Shel byville ; moved back to Sand creek one year, and then, after residing three years in Clay county, settled in Big Spring township, where James Baker died on the 31st of January, 1865. Mr. Baker obtained his education in the schools existing in the county in his boyhood. In those days only the simplest branches were taught.

He is a man who has enjoyed the confidence of the community, and has alwavs stood well as a citizen . He served four years as a justice of the peace, and has been township treasurer and collector. As one of the representative men of the south-eastern part of the county, his name here deserves mention. ALFRED BLYTHE (DECEASED) ALFRED BLYTHE, one of the former residents of Big Spring township, was born in Lincoln county, Tennessee, February 29th, 1822. His parents were Thomas and Phoebe (Dawdy) Blythe. He went to school as he had opportunity, and secured a good common sch ool education.

Thank you very much, this family you mention is part of my line, This William you are referring to is a son of Basil Daniel. By the DNA matches on the Daniel DNA project, Basil is a exact match to our Edward Daniel line. Some say William's wife was Martha Rogers? But I have no conclusive evidence, My Edward Daniel from Henry county, Va. had a son William also born 1799, Va. married Martha Mayes in Grainger county, Tn. 1821, Some researchers pick up my William Daniel in Benton county, Ark. and mistake him to the son of Basil, My William was in Benton county, Ark. 1850 on the census and this William was already in Texas, but some researchers get the two mixed up claiming my William as a son of Basil, But they are related, our line is at a brick wall, no one can get past Basil or Edward to find out who there parents were?

The City Hotel building, the largest in the place, was built by __________ Sherwood, in 1866 and '67. < P> John Perkins came to the place in 1864. He erected the building now occupied by C. Trager in that year, and opened a general store. The same year he built the mill now owned and run by John C. Knecht. It has three run of burrs, and receives a fair custom trade. Perkins built the store-house on the opposite corner, where he sold goods in 1866. He died the same year. His death was a severe blow to Sigel. He was a thorough business man, and did much in his short stay, towards building up and improving the to wn. There are two churches in the place -- Catholic and Lutheran. The Catholic denomination are at this time just finishing a handsome church edifice, in place of one recently burned. They had the misfortune also of having their school-building burned in Octo ber, 1880. It was a commodious structure.

R., now Wabash, St. Louis and Paducah R. R., injured the place for a time quite perceptibly.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES PETER ALLEN THE present supervisor of Big Spring township, was born in Chatham county, North Carolina, April 7th, 1832; his ancestors were of Scotch descent; his grandfather, Peter Allen, emigrated from Scotland and settled in Pennsylvania about 1760, and from there removed to North Carolina. It is said that this Peter Allen, who himself served in the war of 1812, was an uncle of Ethan Allen, celebrated for his daring deeds during the Revolutionary war. John D. Allen, father of the subject of this sketch, was born in Chatham county, North Carolina, and in that State married Lucretia Fogleman, who was of German descent. Peter Allen was the fourth of ten children. He lived in Chatham county, North Carolina , till he was twenty-one. His early educational advantages were inferior, but he obtained a good business education by his own efforts. On coming west in 1854 he settled in Wayne county, Indiana, where he learned the carpenter's trade. In August, 1861, he enlisted for three years in the 33d Indiana Regiment, and on the expiration of his term of service re-enlisted as a veteran, and was discharged in August, 1865. His regiment formed part of the Army of the Cumberland, and after serving in Kentucky and Ten nessee took part in the famous march of Sherman from Atlanta to the sea and on to Washington. He was in the battles of Wild Cat, Mill Spring, Stone River, Lookout Mountain, Buzzard Gap, Marietta, Dallas Woods, Savannah, Go! ldsboro, and Raleigh; he was woun ded at Dallas Woods, Atlanta, and Buzzard Gap. He enlisted as a private and was promoted to be a sergeant. For six years after the war he had charge of the county asylum and poorfarm, in Park county, Indiana. In the spring of 1874 he settled on his presen t farm in Big Spring township; he owns a farm of 110 acres, and is also engaged in the saw-mill business, and other enterprises. He was married in Park county, Indiana, in 1866, to Elizabeth Nelson. His children are Minnie, Thomas, Clara, Rilda, John D., and James. He cast his first vote for president for Douglas, in 1860. Though he has been a republican in politics he has been independent in his political views, and has always voted for the man he considered best fitted for the office, irrespective of po litical affiliations. He is known as an energetic and enterprising business man; he was elected a member of the board of supervisors in 1879, discharged the duties of the position in a satisfactor! y manner, and was re-elected in 1880. EVAN BAKER THIS gentleman, one of the representative farmers of Big Spring township, is a native of Shelby county, and was born on the headwaters of Sand creek, in Windsor township, on the 15th of May, 1830. The family to which he belongs is of English and Ir ish descent. His grandfather, Joseph Baker, was born in North Carolina, and moved thence to Tennessee. He was a soldier in the war of 1812. His father, James Baker, was born in Tennessee. About 1820, soon after the admission of Illinois into the union as a state, when the tide of emigration from the south was strong, the family emigrated to Illinois and settled in Gallatin county. In that county James Baker, who was a boy when he came to this state, married (Page 232) --------------------------------- Margaret Emeline Patton, who was also born in Tennessee, and settled in Gallatin county about the same time with the Baker family. Soon after his marriage he settled on the head-waters of Sand creek, and was amo ng the early settlers of that part of the county, locating there in 1827. Evan Baker was the second of eleven children. When he was eleven years old his father moved to Richland township; afterward lived four years on a rented farm in the vicinity of Shel byville ; moved back to Sand creek one year, and then, after residing three years in Clay county, settled in Big Spring township, where James Baker died on the 31st of January, 1865. Mr. Baker obtained his education in the schools existing in the county in his boyhood. In those days only the simplest branches were taught. By dint of hard study he secured a good education, obtained a director's certificate, and one summer and fall taug ht school. He was married June 1st, 1853, to Francina Jane Ledbetter, who was born! in Gallatin county, Illinois, and was a daughter of James Ledbetter. After his marriage he began farming for himself in Big Spring township, on the farm where he now lives. He is now the owner of about three hundred acres of land. His first wife died May 9th, 1859. His second marriage took place Feb. 29th, 1860, to Sarah Ellen Rentfrow, daughter of James M. Rentfrow. She was born in Effingham County. He has seven children - - two by his first, and five by his second marriage -- their names are: Elizabeth Jane, wife of F. M. Robinson, of Big Spring township; John Albert, who is farming on his own account; Alice Alvina, Oretta Arabelle, Florence May, James William E. R., and C harles Rinaldo J. E. Baker. He has always been a democrat in politics. His first vote for president was cast for Pierce in 1852, and he has voted the democratic ticket ever since on general elections; though he is a man of liberal and independent views, a nd in township elections has generally voted for th! e man whom he considered best fitted for the position, without regard to the party to which he belonged. He is a man who has enjoyed the confidence of the community, and has alwavs stood well as a citizen . He served four years as a justice of the peace, and has been township treasurer and collector. As one of the representative men of the south-eastern part of the county, his name here deserves mention. ALFRED BLYTHE (DECEASED) ALFRED BLYTHE, one of the former residents of Big Spring township, was born in Lincoln county, Tennessee, February 29th, 1822. His parents were Thomas and Phoebe (Dawdy) Blythe. He went to school as he had opportunity, and secured a good common sch ool education. He was married on the 8th of September, 1839, to Nancy Webb, daughter of John and Elizabeth (Young) Webb. She was born in Tennessee on the 11th of February, 1822. In the fall of 1840, Mr. Blythe moved to this state and settled in Ash Grove township. After living on rented land about six years, he entered land in section six of township ten, range six. He afterward purchased additional land, and at the time of his death owned about four hundred acres. He was industrious, and full of enterpri se and energy. After having suffered from bad health for a number of years, he died on the 20th of February, 1871. The disease was bronchitis, which finally terminated in consumption. He was a man who sustained an excellent reput! ation in the community. In all his business transactions, his character for honesty and fair dealing, was beyond reproach. For about thirty-five years he was a member of the Separate Baptist church. He was one of the original members of the Hopewell Baptist church in Richland town ship, of which he acted as === message truncated ===

Good Morning, There is a link between the KELSO-DANIEL bunch of Greene County, GA, who we know are tied to the COFFEES and CUNNINGHAMS of PE County, VA and Greene County, GA, and Halifax County, NC. Margaret DANIEL (1750-1804), d/o James DANIEL (ABT 17087-1763) and Jean KELSO (ABT 1720-AFT 1780) of PE County, VA married Francis COLEMAN (1744-1823) ABT 1767 and he was born in Halifax County, NC. Francis COLEMAN died in Washington County, AL and I do not know where Margaret DANIEL died. Francis was the son of Robert R. COLEMAN and Frances MATHIS of Fairfield County, SC, formerly Halifax County, NC.. This may explain why one of the CUNNINGHAM boys in this bunch supposed died in SC - they did not migrate directly from PE County, VA to Greene County, GA but migrated south into Halifax County, NC, then Fairfield County, SC and finally to Greene County, GA. One name I saw in the list of who these COLEMAN kids married that may be representative of the R. in Robert COLEMAN's name was ROE. I am just guessing on this one. This may also explain the links to a Charles DANIEL of Fishing Creek Church in Halifax County, NC that we see in this family. This information is from a researcher of this COLEMAN family and I cannot attest to its accuracy and is only provided as a guide. I also thought it interesting the original size of Washington County, AL when it was created in 1800, extended the full width and breadth of both AL and MS (about 300 miles) for about 90 miles, north-south from the FL line and now would include all of the counties across the southern area of both AL and MS. I do not know exactly in which county in AL (or even MS) that Francis COLEMAN was buried. <<< Children of Robert R. COLEMAN (ABt 1725-ABT 1795) and Frances MATHIS: i.

Anne: I assume you know this: James Beverly DANIEL (1805-AFT 1853), son of James Chesley DANIEL and grandson of Chesley DANIEL and JWC married a Jane Eliza READ in 1832. This is the Middlesex bunch. Also, a James Kelso REDD (notice it is REDD in this listing) married Mary Elizabeth LEWIS of Troupe County, GA ABT 1835. Their daughter, Mary Lewis REDD (1837-1867) married Calvin Evans JOHNSTON (1827-1901) in 1854. There were of Columbus, GA. He was the son of Lancelot JOHNSTON, Esq. II and Margaret JONES of Madison, Morgan County, GA. I assume you did notice the KELSO in this REDD boy's name and we know the KELSO's were attached to the CUNNINGHAMS and DANIELS of Greene County, GA. Your READ may have become REDD at some point down the line. Dr. Lancelot JOHNSTON I was of Ireland and married a Zeriah RICE of Hanover County, VA. During the RW, Lancelot was the personal physician to Gen. George WASHINGTON. The JOHNSTONS lived in Caswell County, NC but Lancelot II migrated to Morgan County, GA and built the home "Snow Hill" in Madison, one of the premier homes in Madison. The POULLAINS were tied to the JOHNSTONS and later lived there and they were tied to the LAMARS. Calvin's sister, Elizabeth JOHNSTON married Antoine POULLAIN II (1815-1900). He was the son of Dr. Thomas Noel POULLAIN, MD of Greene County, GA, formerly of Washington, Wilkes County, GA. His mother was Harriett Byron WRAY and Dr. POULLAIN's mother was Sarah Garland WINGFIELD, d/o Thomas WINGFIELD III and Elizabeth TERRELL. The WINGFIELDS were of Louisa County, VA. I also know that in 1848, a Dr. WINGFIELD, who I think was a son of Thomas IV and Sidney MOUNGER, offered my GGA, Mary Etholinda "Ethie" POTTER, a job in his school in Madison. This was communicated to Mary, who was then in NYC with her mother, Margaret White POTTER. In 1849 she came to Madison and in 1851 she married Simeon A. ATKINSON, the youngest newspaper publisher in the US at the time. He was also the Secretary to the GA House, a MAJ during the CW, an Aide to LT. General Braxton BRAGG and owned newspapers in Marietta, Madison, Athens and Augusta before the CW. After the CW he and Ethie moved to Brooklyn, NY where he founded what is now Field and Stream magazine. Ethie was a younger sister of my GGM, Anne Eliza POTTER (1808-1863) who married my GGF, Charles W. RICHTER, Sr. (1807-1884) of Madison. The NISBIT family is also pretty close to my bunch, at least professionally, since Alfred Moore NISBET (1797-1875) founded the Athens, GA "Banner." In 1855, another Great-Grand Uncle, Russell Ramsey RENEAU (1832-1862) , owned the Thomasville, GA "Southern Enterprise." His sister, Mary Jane (1830-1912), married Robert W. DANIEL in 1852 -- my great-grand parents. Their daughter, Alice E. DANIEL (1854-1924), married John C. RICHTER, Sr (son of Charles and Anne) in 1872 in Madison -- my grand parents...... Some of this stuff is getting relatively close to my bunch but they were not collateral with this bunch, just close....... <<< Children James Redd JOHNSTONE b: ABT 1855 in AL Calvin E.

However, I've been looking at the "next door" county of Westmoreland COLEMAN families connected to the COLEMAN + SPILSBY union which connected back to my READ(E) + COLEMAN and ASBURYs, and believe Essex, Westmoreland and Richmond, etc. were just about all the same clan of COLEMANs.

Is anyone out there researching the Immigrant Daniel line of Prince George and Brunswick county, VA.? Especially the Hugh who married Ann and John Daniel Sr. who died in Henry county, VA. John Daniel Sr. was supposedly married to Elizabeth and after her death married a Sarah Weatherspoon. We have had our family descendants DNA tested using the 12 marker test and the 25 marker test, both Edward Daniel of Henry county, Va. and a Basil Daniel who was in SC. Pendilton District on the 1800 census matched, Basil was in Buncombe county, NC. as well, . Basil left and migrated to Shelby county, Illinois, and later on to Carroll county, Ark. Some of Edward Daniels children also migrated to Ark. Benton county about 1848. William Daniel who married Martha Mayes in Grainger county, Tn. settled in Ark. I am hopeing someone may know something about this bunch of Daniels, Gillium Daniel, Hugh, Richard, and Marmaduke Daniel, the family of Edward Tatum who married Martha Daniel. I feel that are connected to the Brunswick and Chatham county, Daniel families. Also I am including some information I found pertaining to a Samuel Witherspoon, supposedly the second wife of John Daniel Sr. was Sarah Weatherspoon, this Samuel Witherspoon was also in Shelby county, Ilinois with Basil. BIG SPRING TOWNSHIP (SHELBY COUNTY) IS situated in the extreme south-east part of Shelby county. It is bounded on the north by Ash Grove, west by Prairie township, south by Effingham county, and east by Cumberland county, and is six by nine miles in extent. The township is about equa lly divided between prairie and timber. The Little Wabash river passes through its entire length from north to south; along this stream the land is quite broken. The other streams are Copperas, Drake, Bills, Brush, Hog, Rattlesnake and Clear creeks -- all tributaries to the Wabash. The first settlers were: Fancher, Weatherspoon and the Daniels. B. Fancher settled the place where John Spain now lives, known as Big Spring Post-office, in 1827. Samuel G. Weatherspoon settled about a half a mile south of Big Spring, in 1828, near the Wabash; and the following year he built a small water-mill on this stream -- ground corn only -- it was considered at that time quite an improvement upon the horse-m ills. In 1832 he began grinding wheat, and instead of a bolt be used a sifter, also run by water-power. Two years later he put in an upright saw, which was quite an acquisition to this part of the country at that time, as here the early settlers could get timber sawed out without the expense of so much labor. Prior to the putting in of this saw, the lumber, what little was used in the early settlement of the country, was sawed out by the use of the whip-saw, where two logs were laid across a deep ravine; cross-timbers were then placed on these, and the log to be sawed was rolled on--one man stood above and one below, and by the use of a long thin saw they could turn out some very nice lumber; but it was a slow business, and! very hard work. The mill has lo ng since been washed away, and (Page 230) --------------------------------- hardly a sign of it now remains. But the mill and its surroundings are still bright in the memory of many an early settler in the eastern part of Shelby, northern part of Effingham, and western part of Cumberland counties. Weatherspoon made the first land entry in this township, June 14, 1832. He entered forty acres, the north-west quarter of the northeast quarter section twenty-nine, where he had previously settled and started an improvement; it is now a part of the A. Quicksall estate. Weatherspoon afte rwards removed to Texas. Bazel Daniel settled one-half mile north-east of Big Spring, about 1828. William Daniel built a cabin near Fancher's in 1831. Nathaniel Daniel built his cabin within half a mile of Big Spring the same year. Fancher and the Daniels only held "squatter claims." They improved about four acres each, on which they raised a little corn. However, they spent most of their time in hunting. Fancher left this country in the fall of 1832 for the west, and was soon follo wed by Bazel Daniel and his son William; Nathaniel and Amon remarried. The Daniels were from Tennessee. Bazel Daniel was a native of North Carolina. The second entry of land made in this township was by Francis Simpson, August 10th, 1833; he entered the extreme north-east forty in township, 10-6. The third entry was made by William Morgan, Feb. 8th, 1836; he entered the south-west quarter of the south -east quarter of section fourteen, in Copperas creek. The following November 30th, Preston Ramsey and Daniel Stuart entered forty acres each in the north part of the township. Ramsey's land was in section eighteen, and Stuart's in section five. Amon Danie l, son of Bazel, settled in the south part of the township, section five, in about 1835. Feb. 6th, 1837, he entered forty acres in this section the same day. Nathaniel Daniel entered forty acres in section eight. Amon Daniel raised quite a large family, a nd improved a food farm, where he resided until his death. Nathaniel raised a family of six children, and resided in the township until his death. Three of his children are now living. Paul Daniel in Prairie township, and! the other two in Texas. John Spain, a native of North Carolina, though from Tennessee, here came into the township in 1832. Eight years later he settled permanently at Big Spring, where he now resides. About thirty years ago he got a post-office established here, called Big Spri ng, and he has filled the office of post-master without intermission up to the present time. The mail route has been changed several times; when the office was first established, the mail came by the way of Cochran's Grove post-office. The mail now comes from Stewardson once a week. John Young, who lives in the east part of the township, near Copperas creek, settled there in 1840. For fourteen years previous to his settlement here, he lived in Coles county, about ten miles distant from where he now resides. He was a soldier in the Bl ack Hawk war, and went from Coles county under Captain Ross. Mr. Young was born on the road, while his parents were emigrating from Georgia to Kentucky in 1804. William Hart settled farther down the Copperas creek in about 1842. Thomas Robinson was the next to settle in this part of the township, and Charles Sawyer and John Waggoner soon followed. William Garrett settled in the north part of the township on the s ide of Wabash creek as early as 1841. Joseph Baker settled first on Sand creek, in the year 1827, and in 1845 moved to Big Spring township, and located on section 2, town. 9, range 2. Jesse and James Baker settled near by the following year. Among the first German settlers in the vicinity of Sigel were Harman Siemer, John Sankmaster, Joseph Luke, Henry Kateman and Joseph Werman. There is now a large German population throughout the township, so much so that the wooden shoe is in constant dema nd, and one of the prominent articles of trade in Sigel. The Germans here are a hard-working class of people, and are doing much towards the improvement of these lands. H. Siemer built a saw and grist mill about three-quarters of a mile northwest of Sigel in 1855; this mill had three run of burrs, and did a good business until about 1867, when it was moved into Effingham county. Siemer also had at this place a still house, where he made whiskey for several years, and until the high tax was put upon that a rticle, when he sold it out to one Zirngible, who carried on the business for about two years, when it became necessary for him to emigrate with his still, going to Missouri. The Swedes came into the township, and settled ! in the west and north part quite numerously about 1860. But in some way they became dissatisfied with the country, and the most of them have since left. The first school built in this township was in an empty cabin on the place of John Spain, Thomas Bell being among the first teachers. This cabin was used for school purposes for a number of years. Early preaching in the township was at the residence of John Spain, by the Baptists and Methodists. William Martin, Aaron Hood, and Thomas Frailkill were the first preachers. VILLAGE OF SIGEL WAS surveyed out on the line of the Illinois Central R. R. north, east quarter of section fourteen, by Charles R. Underwood, deputy county surveyor, June, 1863; for Theodore Hoffman, proprietor of the town. The first house built was a business house, where Martin Gay opened up a small stock of general merchandize in the fall of 1863 he was also the first postmaster; the post-office was called Hooker until 1871, when it was changed to Sigel. The building Gay occupied at that time is now used by A. C. Rea, as a residence. In 1864 Gay sold out to John Hemman, who began merchandizing, which business he followed until 1875, when he was succeeded by his son, Hugo Hemman and E. F. Hoffman. They now occupy the corne r building. It was erected by G. A Huffman in 1872. The building on the opposite corner was built by Frank Zirngible, one of the early merchants, in 1863 and '64; it is now occupied by B. H. Kohlmeyer. The second house was erected by Henry Berchtold, in 1863, for a hotel. His son, Henry Berchtold, jr., was the first birth in Sigel, January 13th, 1864. The City Hotel building, the largest in the place, was built by __________ Sherwood, in 1866 and '67. < P> John Perkins came to the place in 1864. He erected the building now occupied by C. Trager in that year, and opened a general store. The same year he built the mill now owned and run by John C. Knecht. It has three run of burrs, and receives a fair custom trade. Perkins built the store-house on the opposite corner, where he sold goods in 1866. He died the same year. His death was a severe blow to Sigel. He was a thorough business man, and did much in his short stay, towards building up and improving the to wn. There are two churches in the place -- Catholic and Lutheran. The Catholic denomination are at this time just finishing a handsome church edifice, in place of one recently burned. They had the misfortune also of having their school-building burned in Octo ber, 1880. It was a commodious structure. (Page 231) --------------------------------- The town commands the trade of an extent of good farming country. The building up of Stewardson on the Chicago and Paducah R. R., now Wabash, St. Louis and Paducah R. R., injured the place for a time quite perceptibly. But it has been fortunate in having for its business men, gentlemen of energy and enterprise, who have spared no pains to advance the interests of the place. The town is now represented by the following professional and business men. Physicians. -- J W. Wilhite, P. E. Chapman, William Bartles. General Stores. -- Hemman & Hoffman, B. H. Kollmeyer, H. J.

It is said that this Peter Allen, who himself served in the war of 1812, was an uncle of Ethan Allen, celebrated for his daring deeds during the Revolutionary war. John D. Allen, father of the subject of this sketch, was born in Chatham county, North Carolina, and in that State married Lucretia Fogleman, who was of German descent. Peter Allen was the fourth of ten children. He lived in Chatham county, North Carolina , till he was twenty-one. His early educational advantages were inferior, but he obtained a good business education by his own efforts. On coming west in 1854 he settled in Wayne county, Indiana, where he learned the carpenter's trade. In August, 1861, he enlisted for three years in the 33d Indiana Regiment, and on the expiration of his term of service re-enlisted as a veteran, and was discharged in August, 1865.

He was married in Park county, Indiana, in 1866, to Elizabeth Nelson. His children are Minnie, Thomas, Clara, Rilda, John D., and James. He cast his first vote for president for Douglas, in 1860. Though he has been a republican in politics he has been independent in his political views, and has always voted for the man he considered best fitted for the office, irrespective of po litical affiliations. He is known as an energetic and enterprising business man; he was elected a member of the board of supervisors in 1879, discharged the duties of the position in a satisfactor! y manner, and was re-elected in 1880. EVAN BAKER THIS gentleman, one of the representative farmers of Big Spring township, is a native of Shelby county, and was born on the headwaters of Sand creek, in Windsor township, on the 15th of May, 1830. The family to which he belongs is of English and Ir ish descent. His grandfather, Joseph Baker, was born in North Carolina, and moved thence to Tennessee. He was a soldier in the war of 1812. His father, James Baker, was born in Tennessee. About 1820, soon after the admission of Illinois into the union as a state, when the tide of emigration from the south was strong, the family emigrated to Illinois and settled in Gallatin county. In that county James Baker, who was a boy when he came to this state, married (Page 232) --------------------------------- Margaret Emeline Patton, who was also born in Tennessee, and settled in Gallatin county about the same time with the Baker family. Soon after his marriage he settled on the head-waters of Sand creek, and was amo ng the early settlers of that part of the county, locating there in 1827. Evan Baker was the second of eleven children. When he was eleven years old his father moved to Richland township; afterward lived four years on a rented farm in the vicinity of Shel byville ; moved back to Sand creek one year, and then, after residing three years in Clay county, settled in Big Spring township, where James Baker died on the 31st of January, 1865. Mr. Baker obtained his education in the schools existing in the county in his boyhood. In those days only the simplest branches were taught. By dint of hard study he secured a good education, obtained a director's certificate, and one summer and fall taug ht school. He was married June 1st, 1853, to Francina Jane Ledbetter, who was born! in Gallatin county, Illinois, and was a daughter of James Ledbetter. After his marriage he began farming for himself in Big Spring township, on the farm where he now lives. He is now the owner of about three hundred acres of land. His first wife died May 9th, 1859. His second marriage took place Feb. 29th, 1860, to Sarah Ellen Rentfrow, daughter of James M. Rentfrow. She was born in Effingham County. He has seven children - - two by his first, and five by his second marriage -- their names are: Elizabeth Jane, wife of F. M. Robinson, of Big Spring township; John Albert, who is farming on his own account; Alice Alvina, Oretta Arabelle, Florence May, James William E. R., and C harles Rinaldo J. E. Baker. He has always been a democrat in politics. His first vote for president was cast for Pierce in 1852, and he has voted the democratic ticket ever since on general elections; though he is a man of liberal and independent views, a nd in township elections has generally voted for th! e man whom he considered best fitted for the position, without regard to the party to which he belonged. He is a man who has enjoyed the confidence of the community, and has alwavs stood well as a citizen . He served four years as a justice of the peace, and has been township treasurer and collector. As one of the representative men of the south-eastern part of the county, his name here deserves mention. ALFRED BLYTHE (DECEASED) ALFRED BLYTHE, one of the former residents of Big Spring township, was born in Lincoln county, Tennessee, February 29th, 1822. His parents were Thomas and Phoebe (Dawdy) Blythe. He went to school as he had opportunity, and secured a good common sch ool education. He was married on the 8th of September, 1839, to Nancy Webb, daughter of John and Elizabeth (Young) Webb. She was born in Tennessee on the 11th of February, 1822. In the fall of 1840, Mr. Blythe moved to this state and settled in Ash Grove township. After living on rented land about six years, he entered land in section six of township ten, range six. He afterward purchased additional land, and at the time of his death owned about four hundred acres. He was industrious, and full of enterpri se and energy. After having suffered from bad health for a number of years, he died on the 20th of February, 1871. The disease was bronchitis, which finally terminated in consumption. He was a man who sustained an excellent reput! ation in the community. In all his business transactions, his character for honesty and fair dealing, was beyond reproach. For about thirty-five years he was a member of the Separate Baptist church. He was one of the original members of the Hopewell Baptist church in Richland town ship, of which he acted as clerk. He was frequently called on to fill the township offices, such as collector and assessor, and several times served as supervisor. He had been a consistent democrat all his life. His death was lamented by a large number of friends and acquaintances. He had eight children: John Thomas residing in Ash Grove township; Phoebe G., wife of Levi Turner, living in Kansas; William Martin, who died at the age of four years; James Franklin, a resident of Polk county, Missouri; Berry T. Blythe, a resident of Windsor; George W. and Joseph I. living in Big Spring township, and Douglas, who died at the age of nearly six months.

Is anyone out there researching the Immigrant Daniel line of Prince George and Brunswick county, VA.? Especially the Hugh who married Ann and John Daniel Sr. who died in Henry county, VA. John Daniel Sr. was supposedly married to Elizabeth and after her death married a Sarah Weatherspoon. We have had our family descendants DNA tested using the 12 marker test and the 25 marker test, both Edward Daniel of Henry county, Va. and a Basil Daniel who was in SC. Pendilton District on the 1800 census matched, Basil was in Buncombe county, NC. as well, . Basil left and migrated to Shelby county, Illinois, and later on to Carroll county, Ark. Some of Edward Daniels children also migrated to Ark. Benton county about 1848. William Daniel who married Martha Mayes in Grainger county, Tn. settled in Ark. I am hopeing someone may know something about this bunch of Daniels, Gillium Daniel, Hugh, Richard, and Marmaduke Daniel, the family of Edward Tatum who married Martha Daniel. I feel that are connected to the Brunswick and Chatham county, Daniel families. Also I am including some information I found pertaining to a Samuel Witherspoon, supposedly the second wife of John Daniel Sr. was Sarah Weatherspoon, this Samuel Witherspoon was also in Shelby county, Ilinois with Basil. BIG SPRING TOWNSHIP (SHELBY COUNTY) IS situated in the extreme south-east part of Shelby county. It is bounded on the north by Ash Grove, west by Prairie township, south by Effingham county, and east by Cumberland county, and is six by nine miles in extent. The township is about equa lly divided between prairie and timber. The Little Wabash river passes through its entire length from north to south; along this stream the land is quite broken. The other streams are Copperas, Drake, Bills, Brush, Hog, Rattlesnake and Clear creeks -- all tributaries to the Wabash. The first settlers were: Fancher, Weatherspoon and the Daniels. B. Fancher settled the place where John Spain now lives, known as Big Spring Post-office, in 1827. Samuel G. Weatherspoon settled about a half a mile south of Big Spring, in 1828, near the Wabash; and the following year he built a small water-mill on this stream -- ground corn only -- it was considered at that time quite an improvement upon the horse-m ills. In 1832 he began grinding wheat, and instead of a bolt be used a sifter, also run by water-power. Two years later he put in an upright saw, which was quite an acquisition to this part of the country at that time, as here the early settlers could get timber sawed out without the expense of so much labor. Prior to the putting in of this saw, the lumber, what little was used in the early settlement of the country, was sawed out by the use of the whip-saw, where two logs were laid across a deep ravine; cross-timbers were then placed on these, and the log to be sawed was rolled on--one man stood above and one below, and by the use of a long thin saw they could turn out some very nice lumber; but it was a slow business, and! very hard work. The mill has lo ng since been washed away, and (Page 230) --------------------------------- hardly a sign of it now remains. But the mill and its surroundings are still bright in the memory of many an early settler in the eastern part of Shelby, northern part of Effingham, and western part of Cumberland counties. Weatherspoon made the first land entry in this township, June 14, 1832. He entered forty acres, the north-west quarter of the northeast quarter section twenty-nine, where he had previously settled and started an improvement; it is now a part of the A. Quicksall estate. Weatherspoon afte rwards removed to Texas. Bazel Daniel settled one-half mile north-east of Big Spring, about 1828. William Daniel built a cabin near Fancher's in 1831. Nathaniel Daniel built his cabin within half a mile of Big Spring the same year. Fancher and the Daniels only held "squatter claims." They improved about four acres each, on which they raised a little corn. However, they spent most of their time in hunting. Fancher left this country in the fall of 1832 for the west, and was soon follo wed by Bazel Daniel and his son William; Nathaniel and Amon remarried. The Daniels were from Tennessee. Bazel Daniel was a native of North Carolina. The second entry of land made in this township was by Francis Simpson, August 10th, 1833; he entered the extreme north-east forty in township, 10-6. The third entry was made by William Morgan, Feb. 8th, 1836; he entered the south-west quarter of the south -east quarter of section fourteen, in Copperas creek. The following November 30th, Preston Ramsey and Daniel Stuart entered forty acres each in the north part of the township. Ramsey's land was in section eighteen, and Stuart's in section five. Amon Danie l, son of Bazel, settled in the south part of the township, section five, in about 1835. Feb. 6th, 1837, he entered forty acres in this section the same day. Nathaniel Daniel entered forty acres in section eight. Amon Daniel raised quite a large family, a nd improved a food farm, where he resided until his death. Nathaniel raised a family of six children, and resided in the township until his death. Three of his children are now living. Paul Daniel in Prairie township, and! the other two in Texas. John Spain, a native of North Carolina, though from Tennessee, here came into the township in 1832. Eight years later he settled permanently at Big Spring, where he now resides. About thirty years ago he got a post-office established here, called Big Spri ng, and he has filled the office of post-master without intermission up to the present time. The mail route has been changed several times; when the office was first established, the mail came by the way of Cochran's Grove post-office. The mail now comes from Stewardson once a week. John Young, who lives in the east part of the township, near Copperas creek, settled there in 1840. For fourteen years previous to his settlement here, he lived in Coles county, about ten miles distant from where he now resides. He was a soldier in the Bl ack Hawk war, and went from Coles county under Captain Ross. Mr. Young was born on the road, while his parents were emigrating from Georgia to Kentucky in 1804. William Hart settled farther down the Copperas creek in about 1842. Thomas Robinson was the next to settle in this part of the township, and Charles Sawyer and John Waggoner soon followed. William Garrett settled in the north part of the township on the s ide of Wabash creek as early as 1841. Joseph Baker settled first on Sand creek, in the year 1827, and in 1845 moved to Big Spring township, and located on section 2, town. 9, range 2. Jesse and James Baker settled near by the following year. Among the first German settlers in the vicinity of Sigel were Harman Siemer, John Sankmaster, Joseph Luke, Henry Kateman and Joseph Werman. There is now a large German population throughout the township, so much so that the wooden shoe is in constant dema nd, and one of the prominent articles of trade in Sigel. The Germans here are a hard-working class of people, and are doing much towards the improvement of these lands. H. Siemer built a saw and grist mill about three-quarters of a mile northwest of Sigel in 1855; this mill had three run of burrs, and did a good business until about 1867, when it was moved into Effingham county. Siemer also had at this place a still house, where he made whiskey for several years, and until the high tax was put upon that a rticle, when he sold it out to one Zirngible, who carried on the business for about two years, when it became necessary for him to emigrate with his still, going to Missouri. The Swedes came into the township, and settled ! in the west and north part quite numerously about 1860. But in some way they became dissatisfied with the country, and the most of them have since left. The first school built in this township was in an empty cabin on the place of John Spain, Thomas Bell being among the first teachers. This cabin was used for school purposes for a number of years. Early preaching in the township was at the residence of John Spain, by the Baptists and Methodists. William Martin, Aaron Hood, and Thomas Frailkill were the first preachers. VILLAGE OF SIGEL WAS surveyed out on the line of the Illinois Central R. R. north, east quarter of section fourteen, by Charles R. Underwood, deputy county surveyor, June, 1863; for Theodore Hoffman, proprietor of the town. The first house built was a business house, where Martin Gay opened up a small stock of general merchandize in the fall of 1863 he was also the first postmaster; the post-office was called Hooker until 1871, when it was changed to Sigel. The building Gay occupied at that time is now used by A. C. Rea, as a residence. In 1864 Gay sold out to John Hemman, who began merchandizing, which business he followed until 1875, when he was succeeded by his son, Hugo Hemman and E. F. Hoffman. They now occupy the corne r building. It was erected by G. A Huffman in 1872. The building on the opposite corner was built by Frank Zirngible, one of the early merchants, in 1863 and '64; it is now occupied by B. H. Kohlmeyer. The second house was erected by Henry Berchtold, in 1863, for a hotel. His son, Henry Berchtold, jr., was the first birth in Sigel, January 13th, 1864. The City Hotel building, the largest in the place, was built by __________ Sherwood, in 1866 and '67. < P> John Perkins came to the place in 1864. He erected the building now occupied by C. Trager in that year, and opened a general store. The same year he built the mill now owned and run by John C. Knecht. It has three run of burrs, and receives a fair custom trade. Perkins built the store-house on the opposite corner, where he sold goods in 1866. He died the same year. His death was a severe blow to Sigel. He was a thorough business man, and did much in his short stay, towards building up and improving the to wn. There are two churches in the place -- Catholic and Lutheran. The Catholic denomination are at this time just finishing a handsome church edifice, in place of one recently burned. They had the misfortune also of having their school-building burned in Octo ber, 1880. It was a commodious structure. (Page 231) --------------------------------- The town commands the trade of an extent of good farming country. The building up of Stewardson on the Chicago and Paducah R. R., now Wabash, St. Louis and Paducah R. R., injured the place for a time quite perceptibly. But it has been fortunate in having for its business men, gentlemen of energy and enterprise, who have spared no pains to advance the interests of the place.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES PETER ALLEN THE present supervisor of Big Spring township, was born in Chatham county, North Carolina, April 7th, 1832; his ancestors were of Scotch descent; his grandfather, Peter Allen, emigrated from Scotland and settled in Pennsylvania about 1760, and from there removed to North Carolina. It is said that this Peter Allen, who himself served in the war of 1812, was an uncle of Ethan Allen, celebrated for his daring deeds during the Revolutionary war. John D. Allen, father of the subject of this sketch, was born in Chatham county, North Carolina, and in that State married Lucretia Fogleman, who was of German descent. Peter Allen was the fourth of ten children. He lived in Chatham county, North Carolina , till he was twenty-one. His early educational advantages were inferior, but he obtained a good business education by his own efforts. On coming west in 1854 he settled in Wayne county, Indiana, where he learned the carpenter's trade. In August, 1861, he enlisted for three years in the 33d Indiana Regiment, and on the expiration of his term of service re-enlisted as a veteran, and was discharged in August, 1865. His regiment formed part of the Army of the Cumberland, and after serving in Kentucky and Ten nessee took part in the famous march of Sherman from Atlanta to the sea and on to Washington. He was in the battles of Wild Cat, Mill Spring, Stone River, Lookout Mountain, Buzzard Gap, Marietta, Dallas Woods, Savannah, Go! ldsboro, and Raleigh; he was woun ded at Dallas Woods, Atlanta, and Buzzard Gap. He enlisted as a private and was promoted to be a sergeant. For six years after the war he had charge of the county asylum and poorfarm, in Park county, Indiana. In the spring of 1874 he settled on his presen t farm in Big Spring township; he owns a farm of 110 acres, and is also engaged in the saw-mill business, and other enterprises. He was married in Park county, Indiana, in 1866, to Elizabeth Nelson. His children are Minnie, Thomas, Clara, Rilda, John D., and James. He cast his first vote for president for Douglas, in 1860. Though he has been a republican in politics he has been independent in his political views, and has always voted for the man he considered best fitted for the office, irrespective of po litical affiliations. He is known as an energetic and enterprising business man; he was elected a member of the board of supervisors in 1879, discharged the duties of the position in a satisfactor! y manner, and was re-elected in 1880. EVAN BAKER THIS gentleman, one of the representative farmers of Big Spring township, is a native of Shelby county, and was born on the headwaters of Sand creek, in Windsor township, on the 15th of May, 1830. The family to which he belongs is of English and Ir ish descent. His grandfather, Joseph Baker, was born in North Carolina, and moved thence to Tennessee. He was a soldier in the war of 1812. His father, James Baker, was born in Tennessee. About 1820, soon after the admission of Illinois into the union as a state, when the tide of emigration from the south was strong, the family emigrated to Illinois and settled in Gallatin county. In that county James Baker, who was a boy when he came to this state, married (Page 232) --------------------------------- Margaret Emeline Patton, who was also born in Tennessee, and settled in Gallatin county about the same time with the Baker family. Soon after his marriage he settled on the head-waters of Sand creek, and was amo ng the early settlers of that part of the county, locating there in 1827. Evan Baker was the second of eleven children. When he was eleven years old his father moved to Richland township; afterward lived four years on a rented farm in the vicinity of Shel byville ; moved back to Sand creek one year, and then, after residing three years in Clay county, settled in Big Spring township, where James Baker died on the 31st of January, 1865. Mr. Baker obtained his education in the schools existing in the county in his boyhood. In those days only the simplest branches were taught. By dint of hard study he secured a good education, obtained a director's certificate, and one summer and fall taug ht school. He was married June 1st, 1853, to Francina Jane Ledbetter, who was born! in Gallatin county, Illinois, and was a daughter of James Ledbetter. After his marriage he began farming for himself in Big Spring township, on the farm where he now lives. He is now the owner of about three hundred acres of land. His first wife died May 9th, 1859. His second marriage took place Feb. 29th, 1860, to Sarah Ellen Rentfrow, daughter of James M. Rentfrow. She was born in Effingham County. He has seven children - - two by his first, and five by his second marriage -- their names are: Elizabeth Jane, wife of F. M. Robinson, of Big Spring township; John Albert, who is farming on his own account; Alice Alvina, Oretta Arabelle, Florence May, James William E. R., and C harles Rinaldo J. E. Baker. He has always been a democrat in politics. His first vote for president was cast for Pierce in 1852, and he has voted the democratic ticket ever since on general elections; though he is a man of liberal and independent views, a nd in township elections has generally voted for th! e man whom he considered best fitted for the position, without regard to the party to which he belonged. He is a man who has enjoyed the confidence of the community, and has alwavs stood well as a citizen . He served four years as a justice of the peace, and has been township treasurer and collector. As one of the representative men of the south-eastern part of the county, his name here deserves mention. ALFRED BLYTHE (DECEASED) ALFRED BLYTHE, one of the former residents of Big Spring township, was born in Lincoln county, Tennessee, February 29th, 1822. His parents were Thomas and Phoebe (Dawdy) Blythe. He went to school as he had opportunity, and secured a good common sch ool education. He was married on the 8th of September, 1839, to Nancy Webb, daughter of John and Elizabeth (Young) Webb. She was born in Tennessee on the 11th of February, 1822. In the fall of 1840, Mr. Blythe moved to this state and settled in Ash Grove township. After living on rented land about six years, he entered land in section six of township ten, range six. He afterward purchased additional land, and at the time of his death owned about four hundred acres. He was industrious, and full of enterpri se and energy. After having suffered from bad health for a number of years, he died on the 20th of February, 1871. The disease was bronchitis, which finally terminated in consumption. He was a man who sustained an excellent reput! ation in the community. In all his business transactions, his character for honesty and fair dealing, was beyond reproach. For about thirty-five years he was a member of the Separate Baptist church. He was one of the original members of the Hopewell Baptist church in Richland town ship, of which he acted as clerk. He was frequently called on to fill the township offices, such as collector and assessor, and several times served as supervisor. He had been a consistent democrat all his life. His death was lamented by a large number of friends and acquaintances. He had eight children: John Thomas residing in Ash Grove township; Phoebe G., wife of Levi Turner, living in Kansas; William Martin, who died at the age of four years; James Franklin, a resident of Polk county, Missouri; Berry T. Blythe, a resident of Windsor; George W. and Joseph I. living in Big Spring township, and Douglas, who died at the age of nearly six months.

A well-documented article by Dr. Mary Clement, titled "Henning Tempte", reprinted in Genealogies of Virginia Families V, R-Z, Henning Tembte, Page 424, points out the following about Malachi Murden and Elizabeth Tempte. The sources cited are those provided by Dr. Clement: Malachi Murden was named as a minor in his father's 1735 will; Norfolk County, Portsmouth, Virginia, Book 12, p. 83. An Edgecombe County, North Carolina court order shows that Malachi Murden was dead before April 1771; a legal document bearing this date and referring to Robert Bignall as the administrator of Malachi Murden, can be found in a box marked Halifax County Miscellaneous Material in the North Carolina Historical Commission, Raleign, North Carolina. Elizabeth Tempte Murden married Edmond Daniel before May 5, 1773 - Edmond Daniel and Elizabeth, his wife, sold property rights held "by virtue of the said Elizabeth's right of dower as relict and widow of Malachi Murden, Esquire, deceased"; Halifax County, NC, Deed Book 13, page 189.

Anne, This is a line I have looked at -- William DANIEL and Elizabeth COLEMAN out of the Essex County, VA bunch. I think your MURDENS are listed as being born too late to fit into all of this. I put their DOB's at about 1755-1765 with Malachi dying ABT 1765 with her marrying Edmund DANIEL by 1770 with their three kids born in the 1772-1776 time frame. The reason I say that is because if she was born in 1734 her child bearing years would end by ABT 1776, age 42. My guess was she married Malachi ABT 1752-1754 with their five children spread over the next 10 or so years with Malachi dying by 1770 and she then married Edmund U. DANIEL. This puts their three DANIEL children at the tail end of her child bearing years but all of this could be a few years, either way. This also matches up with Henning marrying Hannah born ABT 1780 -- he is a few years older than her but that was typical. The REDMOND link also tends to cement your link to the Essex County, VA bunch since Ann REDMOND married Alexander ANDREWS (1764-AFT 1806) in Essex County, VA, later Greene County, GA. However, there is an earlier REDMOND connection in the MOXLEYS of Westmorland County, VA. William MOXLEY (1640-1713) married Mary REDMOND and they were the parents of Thomas MOXLEY of Princess Anne County, VA who married Anne GUNNELL. Thomas and Anne were the parents of Elizabeth MOXLEY who married John O'DANIEL (1718-1799) of Centreville, Fairfax County, VA. John and Elizabeth's son, William, migrated to Edgefield County, SC as the William DANIEL (1747-1807) who married Lucretia BELL. It was John's brother, James O'DANIEL (ABT 1720-1797) who migrated as James DANIELL to Hancock County, GA. James DANIELL of Hancock County, GA married twice. A Nancy ABT 1754 and Nancy B. HARDWICK ABT 1780. Nancy B. HARDWICK was the d/o SGT William Garland HARDWICK RS-SC and Kessiah Cynthia PARKER of Greene County, GA. Both HARDWICK and his wife were both born in Westmoreland County, VA. This is the same HARDWICK family that ties into Rene FITZPATRICK, as well the VARNERS of Wilkes County, GA. Rene was a younger brother of Capt. Benjamin FITZPATRICK whose family also migrated to Greene and then bounced over to found the FITZPATRICK line in Morgan County, GA that is tied to my bunch. Nancy HARDWICK, who married James DANIELL, married a TAYLOR, first, James DANIEL, second, and a James BARROW, third. James BARROW was from Edgecombe County, NC and died in Milledgeville, Baldwin County, GA, as did Nancy. James DANIEL died in Hancock County, GA. The WILLIAMSONS who I like to watch, closely, are the Col. Micajah WILLIAMSON RS-SC and Sarah GILLIAM family of Wilkes County, GA. He was from IOW County, VA. This is the bunch that ties into the CLARKES, BIRDS, FITCH, TERRELL and McALPINS....... John R.

Anne, This really caught my attention in your post - "Louise Pecquet" I assume you know the PICQUET family was of Charleston and Augusta and were tied to a lot of these families, including mine. One of the PICQUET boys from Augusta went to Franklin College (UGA) with Young STOKES of Madison, GA in the 1840's. So did one of the NISBET boys and a NISBET founded the Athens Banner newspaper. The STOKES were from Lunenburg County, Virginia and the NISBETS were from NC, at some point. A lot of New Englanders and Atlantic Seaboard types in this line. Cecile E. PICQUET, born Augusta, daughter of Admiral Antoine de la Motte PICQUET and Caroline Emily CATTONET of Charleston married Henry Walker CARR of Charleston in 1857. Henry was a great-grandson of the Hon. Dabney CARR, Esq. and Martha JEFFERSON, sister to Tommy, of Charlottesville, VA. Henry and Cecile's son, Charles Daniel CARR, Esq. (1861-1932) married Mary Louise MUSTIN, d/o Milton Anthony MUSTIN, Esq. (1834-1924) and Anna Maria RICHTER (1836-1926) of Madison, GA. Henry was a shaker and mover in Augusta, as were the MUSTINS -- they all lived "on the hill" in Augusta. The MUSTINS were of Davenport, England and were big merchants in Augusta. Anna Maria was my grand aunt and her younger brother, John C. RICHTER (my grandparents) married Alice E. DANIEL in 1872, so this PICQUET family was probably pretty close, in obscure some way, to my DANIEL bunch, because Mary Louise MUSTIN was a niece of John C. RICHTER, Sr and Alice DANIEL. I also know for a fact that Charles CARR, a well-known attorney in Augusta, came to his Uncle John's funeral in Madison in 1907, so they were probably a little closer than I know about. In fact, Charles CARR was so well respected in the RICHTER family that two cousins in the HUNTER family of Oglethorpe County, GA were given the CARR middle name -- Louis Carr COLE and Mary Carr COLE of Lexington, Oglethorpe County, GA. Their father, Louis Dugas COLE (1873-1905) descended from the well known DUGAS family of Washington, Wilkes County, GA. The grandmother of these COLE kids was a RICHTER, another Grand Aunt, and she had married Col. Nathaniel Harrison HUNTER of Stephens, Oglethorpe County, GA and they were the parents of Sarah Richter HUNTER who married Louis D. COLE as her first husband. After his death, she married James Gould JEFFERIES of Augusta. John R.

Clay, Sorry it took me so long to respond to this post but the FREELAND connection is interesting. Another name you left out was SKINNER. Catherine Skinner FREELAND (1830-1903) married Smith Coffee DANIELL, Jr. (1826-1861) in 1849, probably in Claiborne County, MS. His mother was a Pricilla SKINNER and his father, SCD, Sr. was the son of Charles DANIEL and Elizabeth COFFEE of Greene County, GA. His grandmother, ECD, died in Claiborne County, MS in 1832. Pricilla SKINNER (1830-1882) was the d/o an Addington SKINNER and Catherine McGRUDER and I do not know where they were from. Smith, Sr. (1794-1836) married her in 1825 in Claiborne County, MS which means they had to live in the vicinity. I am sure you have probably seen the listing of the William DANIEL RS-GA of Washington County, GA who was married to an Elizabeth SKINNER. They say, he was "of Ireland" and married her in NY state. I take a lot of this with a grain of salt but I do know there was a SKINNER family in that area of GA in that time frame and I think they were from NC, or at least, passed through it at some point and they were close to a BRANTLEY family, another early family we also see in Washington County, GA. I also have the WINDSORS attached to my RICHTER bunch in Madison. In the late 1800's they were of Bolinbroke, Bibb County, GA which is located about at the junction of I-75 and I-475 in northern Bibb County, GA. Originally, according to my information, the WINDSORS were of Fairfax County, VA -- the fraternal home of the O'DANIELS, also from Ireland. I have also always liked the name, Bolingbroke, because it must signify a BOLLING who "went broke" and the BOLLINGS were of Southside, as well as upstate VA, where a lot of these families were from. Another interesting point, these DANIELS of Greene County, GA went by the spelling of DANIELL and they have definite links back to Hancock County, GA. Do you want to know who also had links back to Hancock and also spelled their name, DANIELL? The O'DANIELS. You can also bet your boopy the O'DANIELS met this same financial profile as did this Greene County, GA bunch. The O'DANIELS are also a family I look at real closely for my bunch because Robert C. DANIEL of Burke County, GA is listed as Robert C. DANIELL but Robert DANIELL, this families primary researcher, and I have ever been able to find the given name, Robert, in this bunch from Fairfax County, VA. However, my bunch also meats their profile, to a tee. As a rule of thumb, I would consider her FREELAND family, as well as the SKINNER and DANIELL and COFFEE families, as a part of the same overall bunch, if I were you. This simplifies everything and even if you later find this not to be exactly the case, it is a good starting point. One thing we know about some of the DANIEL folks up around Morgan and Greene County, GA is they were DARNELL at some point and kind of convoluted the name into DANIEL. Another family I am looking real closely at is the DARELL family of London because it, too, may have become DANIEL or DANIELL, later - right naming patterns and right collaterals. In fact, this DARNELL and DARELL may have been part of the same overall family back in the old country. <grin> John R.

The deed that establishes Robert Daniell III's age is this one that lists him as a minor in 1719 (he and Marmaduke are also listed as under 21 in grandfather Robert's will wr 1 May 1718): 1-16=Ba-37 15 & 16 Apr 1719 Martha Daniel, widow, Berkeley Co., to Samuel Eveleigh and Alexander Parris, Esqrs. of Charleston. Whereas the Hon. Robert Daniel owned a plantation of 549 a. on St. Thomas's Island, Berkeley Co., bounding E on Wando River, W on John Codner, N on Martha Daniel's land, S on Cooper River, on which plantation Sarah Daniel and Robert Daniel, her son live; and whereas Robert Daniel by will dated 1 May 1718 devised the plantation to Martha, and divers controversies and disputes arose between Sarah and Martha; Martha claiming the plantation under will of said Robert her husband; Sarah (in behalf of her son Robert, a minor) claiming the same plantation by virtue of the statute of limitation inasmuch as Robert Daniel, husband of Sarah, only son of Robert the husband of Martha, had been in peaceable possession for 14 years before the making and publishing of the last will of Robert the grandfather; and whereas the parties wish to end the controversy, and Martha desires the 549a vested in Robert the grandson: in consideration of the premises and of the natural love and affection Martha bears Robert the grandson, and for the advancement of Marmaduke Daniel, another grandson of Robert her husband in case Robert the grandson should die without issue; and for other considerations: Martha sold the plantation to Samuel Eveleigh and Alexander Parris in trust for Sarah Daniel until Robert should be 21; then to Robert for his lifetime; after his death to heirs of Marmaduke; lacking such heirs, then to Sarah, mother of Robert and Marmaduke; nothing to deprive Sarah of her right or title of dower and thirds. Several provisoes were added in case the grandfather's will should be contested by Robert and Marmaduke. Wit: William Blakewey, William Billing. Robert Yonge, Register. >>>>>> The son Robert and then grandson Robert inherited the major-league title of landgrave "by right of succession" (in the land deeds), I don't imagine that the title Colonel was any harder for him to acquire, i.e. he really didn't have to earn it or work his way up to it. He was called Col. by at least 1724: 1-60=D-224 18 & 19 Mar 1724 Hon. Arthur Middleton, Esq & Francis Holmes, Sr., merchant of Charleston, as attorneys for Thomas Amory, merchant of Boston, to Noah Serre, planter of Craven Co., lots bounding N on a little street leading from Cooper River to Ashley River by the houses belonging to Col. Robert Daniell, Jonathan Amory & Madam Simons, other bds Noah Royer, Sr., Nicholas Townsend (but in possession of Thomas Pinckney). Actually, it has to be shown that the Col. Robert in the above deed is the grandson of the original Robert, but I think this land is part of the bounds in the following deed (and thus the evidence): 1-67=D-300 17 & 18 Jun 1720 George Logan, Esq. & Martha his wife (late widow of Robert Daniel, Esq.) to Charles Hill, Esq., for £300 current SC money, part of lot #32 in Charleston, fronting 50 ft. on cooper River from the walls of the fortifications down to low water mark. Whereas William, Earl of Craven, Palatine, & the Lords Proprs. on 18 Feb 1680 granted David Maybank the elder lot #32 in Charleston containint 1/2 an a., English measure; & whereas David Maybank the younger, son & heir, by deed poll on 12 Jul 1692 conveyed the lot & building on it to Joshua Wilks; & whereas Joshua Wilks on 3 Feb 1692 sold the lot to George Daresely; & whereas Daresely on 13 Dec 1693 sold to Col. Robert Daniel the lot #32, bounding e on Cooper River; S on a street leading to Ashley River; N on a lot of Mr. Foster of Barbadoes; W on Jonathan Amory; & whereas Robert Daniel by will 1 May 1718 bequeathed to Martha Daniel (his widow, now Martha Logan) that part of lot #32 fronting 50 feet on Cooper River, bounding N Samuel Wragg; S on Mrs. Susanna Porter (widow of Mathew Porter); now Logan sells to Hill & promises that Martha shall within 6 days appear before the Chief Justice & renounce her right of dower.

I don't have any documentation of Helen Logan's birth to help or hurt, except that she and Robert were married sometime between 28 Jul 1721 and 3 Oct 1723, if she was born as early as 1695 she'd be a pretty mature 26 years old at her marriage, i.e. I'm suggesting she's born after 1695. Re the death date of Robert Daniel III, husband of Helen Logan, my notes from _Abstract of Wills of State of SC 1670-1740_ by Caroline T. Moore & Agatha Aimar Simmons show the will of Robert Daniel as written 1 Jun 1732, proved 12 Sep 1732, but not recorded until 12 Jul 1739. I don't have notes to explain the lateness of the recording, but widow Helen married her second husband William Trewin on 17 Jul 1734, so the probate date is probably good. Re the 1675-1709 dates of Robert Daniel II, have you been able to determine how people come by that? A Capt. Robert Daniel Jr served in the Yemassee War in 1715 and I don't have proof, but was pretty sure in my notes that this was Robert Daniell II, i.e. died after 1715. The land deeds do not help establish Robert II's death any more than that he was dead by the time his father Robert wrote his will in 1718. As far as a birth of 1675, I do think it was before then, because he was listed as a ship commander on 24 Nov 1693. That is a job that I don't think an 18 year old would have just based on family connections (land dealings and court offices and military titles, yes). -------

Pam, I have read through all of those SC deeds transcribed by Clara A. Langley for the period 1718-1773 which mention the name, DANIEL, DANIELL, that you posted to the Internet. I well understand what you are saying about inheritance of titles, etc. However, the title of "Landgrave" was only good through the administration of the Lords Proprietors and that effectively ended in 1721 when SC was made SC a provisional Royal Colony and ended, permanently when the Crown bought out the Lords Proprietors in 1729 and SC became a Royal Colony. The reason it became a Royal Colony was because the Lords Proprietors and their agents in SC were nothing but a bunch of nitwits and incompetents that had created such conditions by 1719 where the citizens of SC were practically in open revolt, so the Crown had to do something about the administration of this colony, which they did. The one thing I noticed about Robert DANIELL (1646-1718) throughout not only the deeds in Charleston but the deeds up in New Hanover County, NC is that he is almost consistently referred to as Col. Robert DANIEL, gentleman, of either Berkeley County, SC or Charleston. Occasionally, you will see the name spelled DANIELL but mostly it was spelled, just plain DANIEL. His son, John DANIEL, and other grandsons only obtain the title, planter,with the exception of his grandson, Robert III, who somehow gets the title, Colonel and Landgrave, as you note. For all practical purposes this title ended in 1729 but you will see it also used in later deeds which included this Robert III. The first mention I can find for Robert DANIELL III was in 1721, when he was barely 21, and he was listed as Col. Robert DANIEL, Esq. and listed with a group of other grantors, Vol 1, p 23 of Langley's book. This said, why was he just mentioned as a JP in other deeds? Like the 1721 and 1725 deeds signed before Robert DANIELL, J. P. (Vol 1, pp.105-106). If he was a Landgrave and Colonel, why were these titles not listed in these deeds? I do not know how the civil administration was during that period in SC but usually JP's were elected and not appointed, at least by 1721 when SC became a provisional Royal Colony. It is just kind of hard for me to believe that even during the incompetent administration of the Lords Proprietors they would allow a person barely 21 years old to assume such duties and titles. Maybe that was just one of the reasons the people of SC forced the Crown to "clean house," as they say. Did you know that all Landgraves and Governors of SC under the administration of the Lords Proprietors were required by their charter to be "Palatine?" -- English royalty, of some variety. I wonder where this puts in the greater scheme of things this little coal scratcher from Wales, who supposedly, if you believe the stories about him, "rose from rags to riches?" Are you sure his name was not Horatio? <grin> John R. Clarke Thomasville, GA ----- Original Message ----- From: "P. A.

Re the death date of Robert Daniel III, husband of Helen Logan, my notes from _Abstract of Wills of State of SC 1670-1740_ by Caroline T.

Good Morning: This is one deed I really like. Notice the name of the JP who executed this deed -- Daniel GREENE. Some say that Capt. William GREENE (1764-1819) of Greene County, GA was the son of William GREENE and Sarah Ann ALSTON of Warren County, NC. Well, we know where the ALSTONS were from -- Charleston. We also know this William GREENE, who was supposedly of VA, but I do not think so. I think his roots, like so many of these other GA families, point right back to Charleston or Berkeley County, SC. Almost every name we see around many of the DANIELS in Charleston, we see later in GA and NC. It just cannot be by coincidence. No one can say this is not a Gov. Robert DANIELL related deed since Robert HOWE is listed on it, as a witness, as was Ann DANIEL, d/o Gov. DANIELL, who married George LOGAN. I think what we are seeing here is a bunch of people who floated from SC to NC and then back to GA with maybe some ties to VA. I just do not know but I do not think it is by coincidence, not in these early families. BTW, the BROUGHTONS ended up in Jasper and Morgan County, GA. Also, the MOTTES and the ALSTONS were thicker than thieves so we know that family relation, as well. Thomas BROUGHTON II married Sarah HESKETT, sister of Mary who married John DANIEL the Shipwright of Charleston. I have found no deeds that directly link, together, the families of Gov. Robert DANIELL and "John DANIEL the Shipwright" of Charleston, SC. However, I have never forgotten the math theorems I learned as a boy -- "if A equals B and C equals B, then A are equal to C to each other." In this case, we have more than several deeds that seem to imply that there is some relationship between the two families.
