A clarification: The following paragraph was cited in a previous post on this string. It contains erroneous information, proven by more recent findings, and should be noted as such to help avoid confusion to any reader. The "...James O'Daniel is the James Daniel who voted at the Fairfax election in 1744, and who, before he migrated to South Carolina, married, October 19, 1755, Theodosian Congers, and in the following year had a son, William Scott O'Daniel" is wrong in that James O'DENEALE married Theodosia CONGERS(CONYERS), not James O'DANIEL. William Scott was the son of James O'DENEALE (DENEALE), not the son of James O'DANIEL. WILLIAM O'DANIEL, Pages 582 - 586, GENEALOGIES OF VIRGINIA FAMILIES, VOL IV (W -Y and Appendix) "By deed dated August 16, 1757, (Fairfax Liber D, 468) his son James O'Daniel of the Province of South Carolina conveys to the Rev. Charles Green, of Truro Parish, 100 acres left to thim by the last will and testament of his father, William O'Daniel, being the lower part of a tract of land granted by the Proprietors of the Northern Neck to the said William O'Daniel by deed dated April 19, 1717, for 300 acres. It seems probable that this James O'Daniel is the James Daniel who voted at the Fairfax election in 1744, and who, before he migrated to South Carolina, married, October 19, 1755, Theodosian Congers, and in the following year had a son, William Scott O'Daniel" (Boogher Overwharton Parish Register (1899), 136). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Daniell" <rdaniell@surfbest.net> To: <DANIEL-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, January 11, 2004 9:54 AM Subject: Re: [DANIEL-L] Re: James DANIEL m.
