Good Evening, I recently ran across a few deeds which listed a William DANIEL of Chowan County, NC who was involved with some PEELES, COLEMANS, ASHLEYS and a few more. I have included those deeds, below. Does anybody know this overall family? Note: Robert WEST was Robert WEST,. Jr. b. ABT 1685 the son of Martha CULLEN and Robert WEST, Jr. Martha later married Thomas POLLOCK ABt 1690 and she was the mother of George POLLOCK who married Elizabeth WHITMELL and Sarah SWAIN, Martha POLLOCK who married Thomas BRAY, Cullen POLLOCK, Esq. who married Frances WEST and Thomas POLLOCK, Jr, who married Elizabeth SANDERSON. Needham BRYAN I (1690-1770) was married to Anne RAMBEAU, Susannah HARRELL and Susan WOODWARD. The key DANIEL link is Needham's daughter, Rachel who married William WHITFIELD, the brother of Matthew WHITFIELD who was the father of Betsy WHITFIELD who married Capt. Aaron DANIEL. So, Rachel Bryan WHITFIELD was the aunt of Betsy WHITFIELD (b. ABT 1740) who married Aaron DANIEL (BEF 1733-ABT 1800). If you have any YELVERTONS around your bunch in this area, drop me a note. However, I will be out of pocket until late Sunday night because our youngest daughter is graduating from the Grady School of Journalism at UGA on Friday, April 30th. <<< John Yelverton & wife Elizabeth to John Steward Nov. 12, 1723...100a. on SS Morrattacky River on Flaggy Run.
