ANOTHER new Middlesex Daniel test has come in, kit 143930. This test is of particular importance because it settles once and for all the confusion over the proper assignment of the several William H. Daniel men contending for the honor of "son of Samuel Daniel and Elizabeth Holloway" - the "same name, close age, must be the same person", conundrum. The William H(enry) Daniel now proven to be the son of Samuel and Elizabeth Holloway Daniel was born 17 Sep 1826 in Granville, NC. He disappears from the Granville records by 1840, reappearing in Lowndes Co, AL where he marries Ann Elizabeth Whatley 8 Oct 1857 (records available from the AL Archives). The couple had at least two children: James Warren Daniel b. 31 Dec 1859 and Mary Elizabeth Daniel b. 6 Dec 1862. Family records state he died 10 Dec 1868 (not proven). His wife was remarried by 1880 and living in TX where many descendants still reside. The tester's descent is: 8 Quilla Joe Daniel (d. 1976, m. Lillie Mae Glovier) 7 James Warren Daniel (d. 1908, m. Stella Ann Collins) 6 William H(enry) Daniel (d. 1868, m. Ann Elizabeth Whatley) 5 Samuel Daniel (d. bef. 1870, m. Elizabeth Holloway) 4 Josiah Daniel (d. 1811, m. Elizabeth Key) 3 James "of Albemarle" Daniel (d. 1761, m. Jane "Jennie" Hicks) 2 Robert Daniel (d. 1720, m. Margaret Price) 1 Capt. William Daniel (d. 1698) Although this means some will have to reevaluate their family assignments, we're more than pleased to be able to "come home". Thanks to all who over the years have been so generous with their time and suggestions - Rosalyn, Ruth, John .... there are just too many to name, but you know who you are!!! Bob Daniell and Pam Miller - a special thank you for your insightful analysis and detailed information during our fall '08 thread on the parents of Josiah which prompted me to finally get the test done. If I'd followed up on my original plans we would have had this answer 5 years ago (mea culpa!) but better late than never. Lisa - this is one time when an unattributed World Connect listing was correct! Researchers can refer to the Daniel List archives for more information on these families http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index/DANIEL , the Daniel DNA project for a relatively current list of lines that have tested http://www.danieldna.50g.com/, or Pam Miller's site which focuses on her research of the Middlesex Daniel family http://www.pamiller.net/genealogy/docs/danielmiddlesex/danieldna/index.htm NOTE: you will have to cut and paste these links into your browser.
