Hi, I can buy that - John CASON to his g/s, William DANIEL. You are not the only one who feels one of these Robert's is your boy, so do I. Which one, I do not know.... We know that John CASON died in Burke County, GA in 1816. I have never seen his will but I do believe that a Robert DANIEL married one of his daughters. Which one, and which Robert, I have not a clue but I can tell you were he probably lived in 1790 - Pitt County, NC. John CASON was born ABT 1728 in Beaufort County, NC, the son of William CASON, Sr. and Jane Ann CANNON. He married Eleanor PINCKETT about 1760 so his kids would have been born, after that. Personally, I think CASON"s daughter married Robert L. DANIEL, Jr. son of Capt. Robert Lanier DANIEL because all of families of the spouses of his chillen are all over the deeds of RLD, including the ALBRITTONS, HATTONS, etc. I also think the Robert DANIEL, Jr. mentioned in the 1779 complaint of Col. James ARMSTRONG of Pitt is RLD, Jr. but all of this is just a guess on my part based on a composite of all of the information I have but I have never been able to get a handle on all of these folks because I think they have all to many of them commingled and cobbled up. I know there are those who pull of that 1781 Edward SMITHWICK statement about Robert DANIEL, Jr. dying in the RW but I do not think so. This may have been a subterfuge to get him out of the slave stealing problems he was facing at about the same time -- if this was, indeed, the Robert DANIEL, Jr, son of Robert DANIEL and Mary SWAIN of Martin County, NC. However, this complaint was filed in Pitt and not Martin and it seems all of the particulars to this complaint lived in Pitt and not Martin, so I have never been able to figure this one out. I know for a fact, there were two Robert DANIELS in Pitt in 1790. One is probably RLD, Sr. but who was the other and they are all around the same folks, the CASONS, yet there are those around here who will tell you - these DANIELS never heard of the CASONS. Horse Pucky....They are all over the MOYES, MOORES and the CASONS of Pitt, deeds and otherwise. Robert, Jr, as was stated in the 1779 complaint of ARMSTRONG, stated the DANIEL had to get the female slave out of his father's house because Hillary CASON was coming to dinner and this tells me that Hillary was probably family. You can also bet they hushed this up, too, because I have never found out the disposition of this case. I think what has happened is the kids of Robert Lanier DANIEL of Pitt, son of T&E, and Robert DANIEL who married Mary SWAIN have been commingled. We know, basically, who RLD's kids were but we do not know the name of his wife. Some say a Jemimah WILLIS, but Jemimah is not a name in this bunch but it is a name in the family of Robert DANIEL of Martin County, NC. That, tells me, something is amiss, here. They also say that this Robert DANIEL (ABT 1718-1782) of Martin County, NC was a son of Simon DANIEL but they do not have one bit of proof for that assignment. We think this Robert married Mary SWAIN and will of James SWAIN (1693-1763) lists his daughter, Mary DANIEL, in his will but it does not say who her husband was nor does it say who his father was. I did notice later family names on the will of James SWAIN, that of William MIZELL. We also know that this Robert DANIEL was probably the Robert DANIEL mentioned in the 1739 Will of Robert ROGERS, his grandfather. Robert also mentions his daughter, Elizabeth, the wife of Simon DANIEL and from this one may assume that Robert DANIEL was Simon and Elizabeth's son. This is the deed I really like. <<< JOHN HARPER, 1150 acs., Rappa. Co., on S. side of Rappa. River, 20 Oct. 1691, p. 198. Beg. by the maine pocoson of Pescattaway Cr. below a gr.

(Cavaliers & Pioneers, Vol. II, p. 370, from Patent Book 8) . >>> We know that one of James SWAIN's daughter married a PRICE, We know that William WILLIS was supposed to be the father of Jemimah who supposedly married a Robert DANIEL and I know for a fact the PETTUS family was down in Morgan County, GA, later. A COPELAND also married Ann HARRISON and guess who she also married -- Darby DANIELL (1629-1898) of York County, VA. Darby was supposedly the son of Gent. Roger DANIELL, Sr. and Anne CAREY. Darby's siblings, William DANIEL married Sarah WILLIAMS and they had a son, James who married Anne PARKER and Alexander who married Jane COLLINS and we see both the PARKER and COLLINS names in the Beaufort County, NC, later, along with the WILLIAMS. So, someone please explain to me what Robert ROGERS is doing on an Rappahannock County, VA deed, along with many of the other folks we see later down in the Beaufort County, NC area. I think there are more DANIEL players in that area than just the Lanier-Daniel bunch. ........ I am also going to comment on these other Robert ROGERS deeds. One of the names mentioned in them is that of LAWRENCE, as well as Thomas POLLOCK and Charles EDEN. That Silvanus STOKES is ancestor of the same STOKES line that ends up in Morgan County, GA, later. I also find it interesting that the LAWRENCES are all over the DANIELLS down in Charleston, SC and all over this bunch up in Southside and right across the border in the Chowan area of NC. That Henry GOODMAN listed on one of these deeds was the father of Elizabeth GOODMAN (1695-1770) who married William WHITFIELD, Sr. William and Elizabeth were the grandparents of Betsy WHITFIELD who married Aaron DANIEL. Interesting, isn't it? Thomas POLLACK was Governor of NC before his death in 1722 and he married a Martha CULLEN. Gov. POLLOCK died in Edenton, Chowan County, NC, named for the EDEN family. His son, George POLLOCK married a WHITMELL, d/o Thomas WHITMELL and Elizabeth Hunter BRYAN, who was the d/o Lewis BRYAN I (1660-1735) and Elizabeth HUNTER of Chowan, later Bertie County, NC. Martha and Thomas POLLOCK also had a son name, Cullen POLLOCK and I do not know anything about him. The reason I bring this up is because Capt. Isham LANE (ABt 1730-1801) of Greene County, NC had sons named, Cullen LANE and Bryan LANE. Also, Gov, POLLOCK was appointed the guardian of Thomas DANIEL, minor son of Owen DANIEL and supposedly the same Thomas DANIEL (1686-1749) who later married Elizabeth LANIER (1698-1752). I have to assume the LANES were also connected to this overall bunch. After looking over all of this bunch, there are all too many links in these line, not to Pitt or Beaufort, but to Edgecombe, Martin and Bertie County, NC. We also know there was a tremendous influx of folks from the Accomack area of VA to these areas in this time frame. We also know the MOORES of that area also moved south into NC, along with the MOYES, and they were a part of the Gov. James MOORE family of Charleston. Were some of these DANIELS part of this influx, I do not know. Other Robert ROGERS deeds I have. <<< RICHARD LAWRENCE, 76 acs., Up.

I have not located or verified this record. Colson ADAMS was the brother of my GGGGrandfather, Peter ADAMS. Peter married Lydia Ann LNU (evidence points to Lydia Ann also being a CASON). Peter's GGranddaughter, Rachel Viola ADAMS married my GGrandfather, Francis Marion DANIEL. Francis's father, James Wesley DANIEL married Mary Elizabeth WATKINS, and her line can also be found in Pitt, Edgecombe, and Duplin Counties. Mary's G-grandfather, William WATKINS can be found in Pitt records and this line also married into the CASON line. As such, my interest in placing all the Robert DANIELs is strong, as I feel that one of them is my line. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Runforf471@aol.com> To: <DANIEL-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, April 13, 2004 10:34 AM Subject: Re: [DANIEL-L] That Old Song of Mine > Do we know that a Robert DANIEL married a CASON girl?
