Payne, The assumption among researchers of the Capt. Allen Daniel family is that this William Daniel and wf Nancy were related, but no one knows the exact relationship. He could have been a son, a brother, an uncle, a nephew, a cousin, an in-law...most anything...we just don't know. So little is known about him, in fact, that I don't even carry him in my database at this time, although I will probably add him as an unlinked individual now that we have all these deeds from Pam. If we could ever connect Capt. Allen DANIEL's line to one of the VA DANIEL family lines, we might be able to make more sense of all of these folks. This William Daniel was no longer in Elbert or Madison counties by the time the 1820 census was taken, so I, personally, have never found him on a census report. Therefore, I have no way to even "guesstimate" his age bracket. All we can say for sure is that he was old enough to buy and sell property and enter into contracts by the late 1780s. There was a deed recorded in early Wilkes County, GA records dated 1788 (before Elbert County was created) in which William ALLEN purchased land on Beaverdam Creek from William DANIEL and wf Nancy, with [Capt.] Allen DANIEL as witness. These are all the same folks who later appeared in the Elbert County deeds that Pam listed. William ALLEN was also thought to be a kinsman, probably related to Capt. Allen DANIEL's wife, Mary ALLEN. I think the deeds that Pam listed, such as the one below, tend to support a family relationship of some degree since they were living in close proximity and were buying/selling land among themselves. All I can suggest at this point is that you carry this William DANIEL as an unlinked individual, but with a note regarding his possible relationship to both Capt. Allen DANIEL and to William ALLEN, along with events listing these deeds in which he appears. One possible scenario would be that this William DANIEL was a son of Capt. Allen DANIEL and Mary ALLEN, and a nephew of William ALLEN, for whom he was named, but I cannot prove that. What do you think? Comments anyone?
