Augusta [GA] 7 September 1805 - "Died on Friday, the 30th ult., at her father's the Rev. Thomas DANIEL, in Green County, Mrs. Mary FAUCHE...." If this was the Rev. Thomas DANIEL we have been discussing much of late, Mary is a child of which I was unaware. I wonder if her husband was Jonas FAUCHE, a soldier of much renown and an early political leader of Greene Cty', GA. >From a Charleston, SC paper March 8, 1834: "Died in Savannah, Ga. on the 14th ult. Mrs. Martha DANIELL, daughter of the late Major John SCREVEN, and wife of Dr. W.C. DANIELL of that place, aged 32 years." If Major John was Martha's Dad my files on that family are scrogged up. Believe this was in a GA newspaper: " Died 2nd May 1839 at the residence of her son-in-law T.W. WILLIAMS, Esq., Cokesbury, Mrs. Martha DANIEL in her 77th year. She was born in VA and came to SC in 1814. Member of the Presbyterian Church but her faith & beliefs were those of the Methodist Church. signed W.D. WIGHTMA, Cokesbury May 31, 1839." Does anyone recognize this Martha? Mike Daniel

Mike, I know a little bit about Cokesbury. It was located over near Edgefield, SC. It was not like what we think of, today, as a seminary or even an institution of higher learning, like the Methodists established at Oxford in Newton County, GA or Oglethorpe University, established by the Presbyterians in Milledgeville, GA. From what I have read about it -- Cokesbury was kind of like Berry College in Rome used to be, where one worked and went through some type of Methodist ministerial training program at the same time. I am glad you brought this up because there is a Thomas WILLIAMS, the son of Joseph WILLIAMS, Sr. (ABT 1755-1812) of Surry County, NC who married Rebecca LANIER, d/o Thomas LANIER and Elizabeth HICKS of Granville County, NC. I only have the marriage information for two of their children, a Rebecca and Fannie WILLIAMS but they both married the same person, a John P. ERWIN - no other details on him. ERWIN is a name I watch closely but I do have Joseph WILLIAMS's will and it is copied, below. What caught my eye on this was the SPEER and ERWIN links to this family. I have both, either collateral (ERWIN) or close (SPEIR) to my bunch in Burke and Jefferson County, GA. <<<< Surry Co. NC Will Abstracts - Book 4:1. 28 Jan 1812. Will of Joseph Williams.
