MIKE, Thank You for Your reply and interest in this line of the DANIEL Family. I have not gained any additional information from my original posting nor do I claim it to be accurate in any way. This linage have always been confusing to me and the only part of it that I can vouch for is James Henry DANIEL 1864-1932 who is my Great Grandfather. It seems that these DANIEL Families moved often and many used the same names again and again. I hope my post asking for help with this line does not cause more confusion for others. I feel that the information I have may be more than one family mixed together. Any help You can offer to straighten this out is appreciated. jIMMY

Jimmy, I have been out of the family history tracking for several years and am just starting to get involved again. I will try to go back to my sources for the info I have and if I find anything that may help I'll certainly forward it on to you. I'm sure your request for help could not confuse anyone any more than we are all confused now. The Daniel families all seemed to move around in groups of many families. There is a log cabin at the museum in Yates Center, KS that is known as the Daniel cabin. It was built by a Reuben Daniel, somewhere in the 1860 timeframe. My great great grandfather Reuben Daniel also built a log cabin, also along the banks of Big Sandy Creek (as was the other Reuben Daniel's). Much of my family says that the log cabin in Yates Center was that of my great great grandfather's but all the evidence indicates that it was in fact the other Reuben who built that cabin. The amazing thing is that everybody knows that all those Daniel families who arrived in Woodson County were related, but finding the proof of exactly how they were related is nearly impossible. I have visited the Big Sandy Cemetery and find all the different Daniel / Daniels buried there and know that they are all related, but for the life of me cannot determine the relationships. As you indicate, it is a very confusing line. Thanks for the information.

Hi, I am sure you know that Reuben Daniel is not a big DANIEL name so assuming the name was a "Family" name there are only a couple of locations to start looking. There is the Reuben Daniel b. ABT 1756 of the Middlesex Clan and there is the Reuben Daniel b. ABT 1758 of the James DANIEL and Sarah COCKE line out of Goochland County, VA. The latter line has the HARRISONS in it and a lot of the HARRISONS bounced into the Ohio Territory and probably later IN, IL and KS. John R.
