Nooooo John, Payne merely asked about what someone else had sent him which he questioned and asked for comment from the list... including the fact that it "didn't sound right" or some such words. Now, as to Governor Robert DANIEL or DANIELL, I thoroughly believe what the WILSON book reveals as it has been well researched with references throughout regarding everything the author wrote... and I have a question.... If Miles CAREY initially brought Robert's father, Roger DANIEL, to the colonies, wouldn't that possibly indicate that Roger was not probably able to pay for his own transportation, and therefore a "less than wealthy" person, while at the same time being a "kinsman" and one who just was not in the same financial status as Miles? I get the impression from reading that there were several of Governor Robert's family who were not, shall I say, as slick a salesman, or politician, as he... and thusly didn't gain financially to the extent he did. Seems throughout history every single family has had those individuals capable of doing better than their siblings or some in their family... they've also had plenty of Black Sheep too. Further, I don't believe for one moment that religious choices had anything to do with personal success, back then or as today. This "success" theory toward religious preference needs to be put to rest. My DANIELs and their ASBURYs were well monied and were of the Baptist faith, ... not Presbyterian, Episcopalian or Catholic... just plain ole Baptist. And, speaking of the christian name "Algernon" ~ ~ ~ Asbury DANIEL, son of Henning DANIEL used it, as did a son of Edmund Samuel DANIEL, b: 1800. Also, it appears that Henning DANIEL also had a son who maried in South Carolina, why I don't know. Then, my grandmother, b: 1846, daughter of Edmund, came along and named a son [from what looks like] the same name, or very close, to one of Governor Robert DANIEL's estates, mentioned in one of my recent posts.

Anne, That's the sad part about making any statement about a specific religion or specific political party, some tend to think their religious and political affiliations are always above and beyond the religious and political affiliation of everybody else. Since the choice of US Presidents is a pretty good indicator of "class," in most instances -- 26% of all US Presidents have been Episcopal (they comprise 1.7% of the US population), 21% Presbyterian (they comprise 2.8% of the US population), 9.5% Methodist (they comprise 8% of the US population) and 9.5% Baptist (they comprise 18% of the US population). I guess you could say with some degree of statistical certainty that a member of the Episcopal Church is 30 times more likely to become President than a Baptist, a member of the Presbyterian Church is over 10 times more likely to become President than a Baptist and a member of the Methodist Church is three times more likely to become President than a Baptist. Then again you could say that all US Presidents were nothing but a bunch of crooks and that any good Baptist would not want to be involved with any of them. I think the last two US Presidents that were Baptist were James Earl CARTER (1977-1981) and William Jefferson CLINTON (1993-2001), need I say more? <grin> Not to forget Warren G. HARDIN and Harry S. TRUMAN so, one out of four (TRUMAN) ain't bad, is it? John R.
