Georgia, Sorry I did not get around to answering this post until today but that Ephraim DANIEL sure looks like the Ephraim that was a son of Joseph DANIEL and Sarah BARNES of Edgecombe County, NC. Isaac is also a name in this overall DANIEL line, too. Ephraim's grandmother was a ROGERS, too. That is my guess. I do not have any other information on Ephraim. One thing I noticed is that David is a name around this bunch, too, and this may be part of the Stephen DANIEL who married the IRWIN girls at his uncle David DANIEL's home, that we have mentioned, as of late. I think that, too, also occurred in Alabama. I have always felt the DANIELS that are tied to the BARNES Family, especially in the Washington County, GA area, were probably a part of this same overall Edgecombe area DANIEL family. The ROGERS family seems to be tied only to the DANIEL family in either Edgecombe and Martin but these families were so close it is hard to separate them from each other, sometimes. The DANIEL family in Northampton and parts of the Simon DANIEL family out of Edgecombe also have a tendency to use a lot of weird given names, unlike the DANIELS in Pitt. When I see names, like Ephraim, Ezekiel, Elijah, Elias, Enoch, etc (Note: they seem to love given names starting with an E.), I look at these families, specifically.. However, I also think you can throw in just about all of the biblical names, Abraham, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Joseph etc. into this bunch. When I see a DANIEL family that does not have at least some of this set of non-standard given names, and their names are the more of less standards, Thomas, William, John, Sarah Elizabeth and Martha, I look in a different DANIEL family for these folks. That's my two bits, anyway.... John R.
