Mike, I listed it wrong, Capt. John Wilhite Lewis DANIEL b: 18 AUG 1831 of Barbour County, AL was the son of James Lewis DANIEL and Matilda Ann GANT and not a son of his brother, John W. L. DANIEL and his wife, Sarah Ann GRAHAM. James and Matilda Ann GANT were married on 12 Oct 1830 in Meriwether County, GA. I have always been interested in this Barbour County, AL DANIEL line because of that Barbour County, AL return address. The reason being -- there was an Elizabeth DANIEL who married a John PERRY in Morgan County, GA in 1817 and they lived in Barbour County, AL. Elizabeth may well have been an older sister of James L. DANIEL and since John William DANIEL was Zadock's father, this may well be part of the John and James DANIEL I pick up in the 1839 Will of William DANIEL in Morgan County, GA. The one with Littleberry in it. Meriwether County, GA is also a location where there are lots of links back to Morgan County, GA, so this probably matches. In fact, my aunt, whose maiden name was ADAMS, died in Meriwether County, GA in 1971. She married my uncle, Russell Daniel RICHTER, Sr. in 1909 in Morgan County, GA. The reason the Elizabeth DANIEL and John PERRY 1817 marriage interests me is because of, first, the link to Morgan County and, second, the fact that a John PERRY (b. 1799 in NC) was living with Ann DANIEL (1807-1861), widow of my GGU, James L. DANIEL (1814-1857) in Louisville, Jefferson County, GA. This John PERRY was identified on the 1860 census (and her 1861 will) as her brother. Also, notice the James L. DANIEL name used in both of these DANIEL families. I do not know what the L. in my James's name stood for but Lewis is a possibility. My GGF's name was listed in his wife's 1912 obit as Robert Williams DANIEL which seems to match this DANIEL family, too. From what I can tell about this bunch, my bunch also matches the profile of this DANIEL family to some degree. I also have the name Chesley DANIEL in my bunch and we know that Chesley DANIEL, Esq. (1786-1828), son of George and Martha Julia DANIEL of Granville County, NC, married Eliza Pratt WEIGHTMAN at Judge POTTERS home in Raleigh, Wake County, NC in 1811. A link, I do not know and I do not know whether these two families are related or not but my GGM was a POTTER and my grandmother, a DANIEL..... John R.
