Added notes to comments: Mary DANIEL was Josiah's wife and d/o William and Lucretia DANIEL of Edgefield. Jesse DANIEL is probably Josiah's wife Mary's brother, a s/o William & Lucretia DANIEL of Edgefield. The William DANIEL witnessing is most likely Josiah's brother. To my knowledge, William Francis was the only child of Josiah and Mary DANIEL.
