To the List: In regard to the assignment of the James Daniel who married Jean Kelso, I have seen no reference to suggest that they were in the Middlesex family; however, I have seen various researchers work that place them in the family of Roger Daniell of Warrick Co., Va. Yes, that includes Mr. Worth Ray of 1945. Be that as it may, I am open sources that would place them elsewhere and we, Karen and I, have this assignment "under review". I have extensive notes on this James Daniel and his wife Jean, and her later marriage to James Cunningham Sr. [James Cunningham, planter of Parish of Cornwall in Charlotte Co., Va., made his will 30 December 1775. Mentions wife Anne and James Daniel (son-in-law) and Samuel Cunningham, his eldest. James Cunningham married the widow Jane (Kelso) Daniel in 1780 shortly before his death.] I will share those notes with anyone who is interested. We try not to deal with collateral generalizations in the compilation of these notes. So, what is at issue here, the legitimacy of the "Cunningham's of Cub Creek" or where this family should be placed. Perhaps DNA will help to solve this question as John suggest. Mr. Heinemann shows this James as the son of John Daniel of York County, and his wife Ann Bates, and he mentions his son James in his will; "I give and bequeath to my son James Daniel the other half of that tract of land in Hanover County lately bought, as aforesaid, to him and his heirs forever"; however, there is another view of the parentage of James. (Your compiler has assigned the children of John Daniel to "wife unknown"). Now, there are some who would says that John Daniel of York was not in the family of Roger Daniell Sr., of Warrick, but that position is open to review along with the myriad of other Daniel subjects we can dive into. I am still mystified that our esteemed cast of researchers can be so knowledgeable about so many Daniels and so lacking in info about my Marmaduke Daniel study. Somewhere out there is bound to be some opinion about the various Marmadukes, someone other than Randy and myself. Have a great weekend Ya'll.
