Thanks, This was good information. I have also seen a Clement McDANIEL or MacDonald up in that area of the woods and he later migrated to VA and I think dropped the MC part of his name. I am interested in any DANIEL related name from NJ/MD in the ABT 1750 time frame because I have too many collateral links in that area in the 1800 time frame. I think some of the New England DANIELS migrated south, like a lot of other folks, and they have become commingled with the DANIELS of VA. They may be actually related to some of them and just moved south, later. That, I do not know. That DANIELS and GREENWAY up in the Boston area really interests me because I have a William GREENWAY three houses from Robert C. DANIEL (ABt 1765-AFT 1830) of Burke County, GA in 1820. We all know a lot of New England folks ended up in VA, NC, SC and GA in the BEF and AFT 1800 time frame. I know a lot of DANIEL researchers want to jump right into the VA Daniel families but there are all too many folks who migrated from New England to MD/NJ and then on south into VA or NC by the 1750 time frame and then, later, to SC and GA in the post RW time frame, for us to just overlook them. However, most are right, the name DANIEL has early and strong VA connections but they are not the only DANIEL family around. As for the O'DANIEL name, one does not always know whether they were O'DANIELS, MacDONALDS, McDONALDS or DANIELS because civil servants often did not distinguish spellings of these various names and often transcribed DANIEL as either, DANIEL, DONNEL, McDANIEL, O'DANIEL, DANIELL, etc. John R.
