John, Isn't the statement you made below is a bit heavy handed? Why are you now troubled for the need for "over, overwhelming" evidence? What claims disturb you so much about this family which I assume is Robert Daniell of Charleston, or is it just the Daniell family as a whole? "I learned a long time ago, never to trust anything this DANIELL family says about anything, unless the evidence is over, overwhelming...Regardless, this DANIELL family is the most cobbled up family we have in the DANIELL family and they have not one bit of DNA evidence to back up any of their claims." Remember to old song, "accetuate the positive, eliminate the negative"? For those who suffer in silence. Payne

Payne, If there is any DANIEL related family I have thoroughly researched, it is the Robert DANIELL: (1646-1718) family of Charleston, SC. There is not a deed, marriage record or collateral family of this DANIELL family of which I am not aware or have copies. With all of my many links to Charleston and to its major families, I would be negligent in my research if I did not do so. The DANIELL family of Charleston, up through and including the family of John DANIELL and Sarah RAVEN of Brunswick County, NC, is "reasonably clean" and I agree with almost everything that is written about this family, with a few exceptions However, my acceptance of the assignments in this family ends with a person who is supposedly John and Sarah's son, William DANIELL, Sr. (1743-1840) of Bogart, Oconee County, GA. It is this family of Bogart to which I was referring, since they are the only known descendants of this family that I am aware of, although I am sure there are others. I do not have time to go into all of the things I feel are incorrect or inconsistent about this DANIELL family. Let's just say they are many and leave it at that. If you are anyone else is interested, I will be more than happy to provide either of you with what I feel or assignment problems and other pertinent details about this family that need to be corrected. I know we have already corrected a few of these assignments but there are still others that need to be corrected, especially in the family of what they refer to as his first wife. About the only thing I will accept about this DANIEL family of Bogart, GA is that John and Sarah Raven DANIELL of Brunswick County, NC had a son named, William, who was born ABT 1740 and may or may not be the William DANIEL, Sr. (1743-1840) whose descendants in Bogart, Oconee County, GA.have long claimed to be a son of this John and Sarah Ravem DANIEL. Do they have sufficient documentary evidence to meet the burden of proof for this assignment - Not in my opinion. Do they have DNA analysis to prove this assignment - "No." John R.
