Payne, There is one thingy I noticed while reading and typing out these lists of "incoming shipments" and that is, they ALL have double Ls in their names.... so, shouldn't we dismiss the theory of "certain families only used..... " or, this being an indication from where a certain person belonged in the scheme of things??? And, I have what is probably a "duh" question to the list..... <g> [Keeping in mind, I haven't sent all DANIELLs in the first book as yet.] Question: There are six "THOMAS DANIELL" names in the first book.... as having arrived in 1649, 1653, 1657, and three of 'em in 1664. Does this mean that SIX DIFFERENT men with the name of THOMAS DANIELL came in these years? Wasn't there something illegal about being used more than once in order for someone to receive land? What have I missed? What sez a particular person did indeed do service for their benefactor in payment of their passage? No doubt people sometimes returned to their original home soil, and with some coming back to the colonies...... I'm discovering that "things" haven't really changed in the last 300 years, just getting worse... as to when it comes to doing the right thing, whether on the law books or not... so, why not in these cases also? By now, think I should be elgible for The Black Sheep Society. <g> Enquiring minds wanna know. Ole Nettles Annie

There may have been six Thomas Daniells but I only pay attention to the ones I can find records for. "Enquiring minds wanna know." With out question a truism. You and I help to keep old John honest so perhaps we are both "black Sheep"? All of the men in my family are Duke grads, me I went to NC State. Sic the Black Sheep.

There were probably multiple Thomas Daniels - but it was also very common for the same individuals to appear on several different land grants as being transported by the grantee. I counted one group - the exact same list of 8 people (none Daniel) - on 7 separate grants.
