Since I was playing around in my subscription databases, I tried Vivion Daniel in GenealogyBank.com and found two references: On Saturday, 27 November 1813, Vivion Daniel ran an advertisment in The Reporter, a newspaper in Lexington, Kentucky. The ad said that Vivion Daniel had "taken up" a sorrell horse. The ad describes the horse in some detail and sets the appraised value at $18. The ad was placed by the local Justice of the Peace. I believe that he had found this horse and was giving the owner a chance to regain or sell him the horse. He signed the "Memorial of citizens of Hardinsburg, Kentucky, in favor of a restoration of the deposites. April 8, 1834". By one of those odd little coincidences in life, I just finished reading a new book about Andrew Jackson last night and recognized this memorial as a plea to Congress to force the Excutive Branch of the U.S. Government to restore recently removed U.S. funds deposits to the United States Bank. Andrew Jackson believed the bank to be a dangerously corrupting influence on the government (Congressmen who supported bills the bank favored tended to get substantial loans at very favorable rates.) so he removed all U. S. funds from the national bank and deposited them in various State banks. It was a huge political battle in 1834, but Jackson won and the Banked ceased to exist. Jack Butler
Hi Jack, Vivion Daniel Sr. who married Elizabeth Vivion died in 1803 in Clark County, Ky. I have his will. He had a son Vivion Daniel, Jr. who I never traced. I am thinking this must be him. If it is I descend from Vivion Daniel and Marggaret Vivion's daughter Frances who married John Dale. This would be her brother I suspect.
