William Daniel b. ca. 1800 in Pendleton District, South Carolina is the son of Bazel/Bazil/ Baswell etc. He married 1st Patsy Morris January 24, 1818 in White County, Illinois. Their children were Nancy and E. J. (a female according to census records). Patsy died abt. 1836 in Arkansas. William then married Martha Rogers/Rodgers June 29, 1837 in Shelby County, Illinois. Their children were Elizabeth, Amon and Levi B. William and Patsy are listed on the 1830 Arkansas census. In 1840 he and Martha are listed on the Jackson, Conway County, Arkansas and they are then in All Townships, Van Zandt County, Texas in 1850. I have not been able to locate them on an 1860 census record. But their sons in 1860 Amon 20 and Levi 17 are living with the family of Abe (Abraham ?) and his wife Jemimah Dalton. Also 11 year old Sarah Dawthal (?) is also living in their home in Beat 3, Henderson County, Texas. In 1870 there is a William and Martha Daniel listed on records of those who had become poverty stricken after the Civil War but I have no way of knowing if this is the right William and Martha Daniel. I do know that William's sister, Sarah Daniel Fancher, was living in and around Henderson County, Texas between the 1850 and 1860 census periods. Sarah and her husband Grey Bynum Fancher are living in Hill County, Texas at the time of the 1860 census taking. Berlene Jacques
