Mike, Thomas DANIEL - could be. This is what I have from the 1790 Pitt County, NC census. However, in 1790 Thomas DANIEL had no kids living with him, did he? He had a wife but no kids. That could mean his chillen were all grown up, were dead or he and his wife never had any chillen. <<< MOZE, GARDNER ............ 1 1 3 2 1 DANIEL, THOMAS ........... 1 1 - - 2 DANIEL, LANIER ........... 1 - 1 - 1 DANIEL, ROBERT ........... 2 1 1 - 15 ADAMS, CALSTON ........... 1 3 3 - 5 CASON, HENRY, SR. ........ 2 - 3 - 7 <<< That is Gardner MOYE and Cason ADAMS on either side of these three Lanier-Daniels. I do not know if that is Hillary CASON or not. It is probably Henry CASON born 1732, John's brother but that is just a guess. Hillary is not listed anywhere on this census which may mean he has already removed to Screven County, GA. . However, notice the entry for Robert DANIEL, who I assume was RLD, see the three boys with Robert - two free males over 16,one free male under 16 and a free female (the wife). I think RLD married twice, first to Jemimah, whomever, and second to the CASON girl. Since Thomas would have been his uncle, it would have been normal for him to be on any deeds of this bunch, would it not? This is another DANIEL bunch on this 1790 Pitt County, NC census that I am interested in, as well as the above. It appears to be part of the previous bunch with Henry CASON living right next door to Robert DANNALS but the Lemuel JAMES entry also interests me, too. <<< JOLLY, PETER ............. 3 5 4 - - PERKINS, DAVID ........... 1 2 2 - 9 DANNELS, ROBERT .......... 2 1 1 - 10 JAMES, LEMUEL ............ 1 - 3 - - CASON, HENRY ............. 4 - 3 - 6 CONGLETON, WILLIAM ....... 2 2 4 - - LOCK, JOHN ............... 1 - 3 - - >>> Hillary CASON (1737-1814), who married the daughter of an ORMAND and a BARROW, also moved to Screven County, GA and we do know who lived just across the Savannah River in Jasper County, SC -- Josiah DANIEL, the MAYS, TISONS and the STAFFORDS. This bunch also seems to tie into many of the same surnames we see tied to this overall bunch back in NC, WILLIAMS, SMITH, CONNER and JONES. As for Gardner MOYE, he was the son of George MOYE, Jr. and Elizabeth GARDNER and a brother of George MOYE III who married Sarah BRADBURY. Sister, Mildred MOYE married Jehu TISON,. s/o John TISON and Bethany HINES of Pitt County, NC. One of the sons of George III and Sarah was Benajah A. MOYE of Jefferson County, GA and guess who is cutting deeds for Benajah in the 1850's -- my GGF, Robert W. DANIEL (1809-1865). Benajah also married Vienna Augusta MARSHALL and these MARSHALLS and my DANIEL bunch were very close. My GGU, James L. DANIEL, Robert's younger brother, was the executor in 1845 for the estate of Anne MARSHALL, Vienna's grandmother. So, it all smells to be the same bunch - it is the actual layout we do not know. I will also bet Elizabeth GARDNER, d/o John GARDNER (ABt 1700-1749) and Elizabeth SMITHWICK (ABt 1700-AFT 1749) of Tyrrell County, NC, was related to the Isaac GARDNER of Greene/Wayne County, NC who married Bethany LANE (b. ABT 1775), my Penelope LANE's (1773-1846) sister - the mother of Robert W. and James Lane DANIEL. Notice also were the Bethany name came from -- Bethany HINES (1725-1792), the wife of John TISON. Elizabeth SMITHWICK was the d/o Samuel SMITHWICK and Mary SWAIN and these other SMITHWICKS you see around this bunch are her half-siblings. Their mother was a WARREN, Samuel's other wife. Jehu TISON (1750-1800) of Anson County, NC was the brother of Samuel TISON, Sr. (1744-1771) who married Elizabeth MAY (ABt 1740-BEF 1795) and after his death she married Josiah DANIEL of Jasper County, SC.

As best I can tell from my records, John CASON on at least 2 records mentions a grandson Robert DANIEL but I never see a reference to a son-in-law of that name. My current position is that the DANIEL that married the CASON girl may very well have been Thomas. Thomas was a witness to a (Pitt Co., NC) grant to Robert DANIEL as follows: M112 9/20/1788 Grantor John CASON Grantee Robert DANIEL, Grandson 100A Love and affection. Wit: Thomas DANIEL, Eleanor CASON. Thomas was also shown in the following record (Pitt Co., NC) jointly with Colson ADAMS, known to be a son-in-law of CASON (married Rachel CASON), transferring property formerly belonging to John CASON. M594 2/6/1794 Colson ADAMS & Thomas DANIEL to William CLEMENTS 200 A £75 Former owners...John CASON... In 1791 John CASON seemed to grant his property to his grandchildren or his daughters' families including ADAMS, HETTON, ALBRITTEN and as mentioned before Robert DANIEL. It must have been shortly after this that CASON removed to GA. Thomas is my leading candidate at present for husband of FNU CASON until more persuading records come to light.
