"Unlike some", now that statement has been used twice in your recent communications and it peaks my interest. Yes, John I embrace the Owen, Thomas, and Simon postulation but least I will take a stand. Sorry that it does not make sense to you. Also, while the Lanier's did have some contact with Barbados, the Daniels connections to Barbados are a myth. One is a John + Ann and the other is a Thomas Daniel connection to the Lanier's in Barbados that did not happen. I appreciate your sharing of information, postulations and many collateral possibilities, but I detect a tendency to "go with gut" instead of going with documentation such as the records that connect Owen to Thomas etc. Admittedly, the Roberts are a problem but I don't think they are a big a problem. John, I look forward with you when you will be able to connect your Robert to the Greene County Daniel family. Anything new on that front? A wee small voice joins the "Bully Pull Pit".

One name to watch for that I know went to TN from this area in NC is SWANN. Unlike some, I have never bought into the "Owen DANIEL > Thomas and Simon DANIEL" theory that some have postulated, primarily because it does not make sense. There is one thing I know about all of these folks, besides the fact they mostly married family, is -- they re-used given names about as fast as some of the language of this old Marine can get from time to time. For me never to see the name, Owen, in either Thomas's or Simon's family in either the first or second generations makes me think this assignment is highly unlikely. The only common name that both Simon and Thomas have in the first generation, which cannot be accounted for, is William DANIEL. That, to me, is a real possibility for their father. Robert is also a common given names in both families because of their connection to both the Robert ROGERS and Robert LANIER families. One surname that may have corrupted the DANIELS in the eastern NC area is the DANNALL family, which may be of Somerset or Dorchester County, MD but it may well be an extension of this DANIEL family, if that makes sense. . I know there was a Robert DANNALL in Pitt County, NC in 1790 and while his name is spelled, DANNALLS, the Lanier-Daniel bunch is spelled DANIEL. John R.
