Thank you very much for the information, I do greatly appreciate it, Rev. Horace Edwin Hayden may be correct assigning them to the Middlesex bunch. If I understand the Daniel DNA project correctly William Daniel of Middlesex and Basil Daniel along with Edward Daniel may descend from a remote common ancestor as they differ in only one marker. Our problem is, we know Edward Daniel was in Henry county, Va. along with a John Daniel and the Tatum families. But we can't find out who the parents are of Edward or Basil. Basil Daniel was in the Pendelton District, South Carolina on the 1800 census. But we can't get past that year. Some of this line went to Shelby and Clay county, Illinois, others went to Grainger county, Tn. and later on to Carroll and Newton county, ARk.

And, apparently HAYDEN didn't really know what to do with them. [pg 330] "Blissland Parish Reg. ~ DANIEL ~ Eustace, son of Edmond and Alice DANIEL, b: 04 DEC 1734/35; baptized 06 FEB 1734/35. James, son of Walter and William [? ~ what it sez] DANIEL, b: 21 OCT 1737; baptized 27 NOV 1737. Sarah, daughter of Walter and Mary DANIEL, b: 28 SEP 1756; baptized 07 NOV 1756. Mary, daughter of Walter and Mary DANIEL, b: 07 SEP 1758; baptized 29 OCT 1758. William, son of Walter and Mary DANIEL, b: 04 OCT 1767." [pg 226] Samuel COLEMAN "The next grant was to Edwin CONWAY for 1250 acres in Lancaster County, S. E. side Corotoman River ~ 1000 acre grant by two patents, one of 06 DEC 1652, in which he and his wife Martha are named as head-rights, and which states that Edwyn CONWAY had come to Virginia four times; and then one of 06 APR 1654, for 250 acres for five persons ~ William COLLINS, Edward BENNETT, Alice ELLIS, Ann ROBERTS and SAMUEL COLEMAN. >From Martha: The Caroline County portion says that Samuel DANIEL and Michael Brown ROBERTS were soldiers until discharged in 1758. Application date was 14 April 1780. hmmm.... the BROWN and ROBERTS names connected to the COLEMANs who had plenty of Samuels, and with both these surnames connected to the ASBURYs... and CONWAYs connected to the BALL/THORNTON/DANIELs who also connected to the ASBURYs. Hannah ASBURY who + Henning DANIEL was the daughter of Elizabeth THORNTON connected to the BALLs and WASHINGTONs.... and I'm thinking we've got about three different lines of DANIELs involved here... I keep thinking about Hugh DANIEL, bc: 1635/45 and his Mary BILLINGTON, who, I think, had a DARBY DANIEL.... then there was Reverend Billington SA(U)NDERS down in Georgia who connected to my families someplace ~ COLEMANs also connected to the SA(U)NDERS who connected to the THORNTONs too. Me think it possible some of the Middlesex DANIELs don't belong to their current assignments either. ==== DANIEL Mailing List ==== IF YOU MISS ANY MESSAGE: You can easily search the DANIEL List Archives at: http://listsearches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl?list=DANIEL
