Hi to All: John's talk about Cason's and NC got me to take a look at them and one thing lead to another - and this is what I've got. I've been working on the Olivers and this information & trying to find Asa T. Oliver Jr. and his family (his mother Drucilla is my great++aunt). In doing so I ran into a query about a Cason family that were connected to the Olivers. The Cason family took me to "Cason Scott" who married Tabitha Dixon. Tabitha Dixon was the grand aunt of Hasting Dixon Wainwright who married Lovey Davis - which was performed by "James Daniel, Sr." in Monroe Co., AL. The grandson's of this Cason Scott founded "Scottsville", Harrison Co., TX. And, they are buried in the Scottsville Cemetery in Harrison Co. They also have "Key" family connections & connections to the families written about in Early Settlers of Alabama. That to me kinda indicates they could very well be Middlesex Daniel's - because of the connection between the Daniel & Keys. James Daniel, JR and his father-in-law & grand-father-in-law - Samuel Graves and father John Graves are all buried in the Scottsville Cemetery. More later on all these relationships including Hudson - Ruth in Portland, OR P.S. John - I think you are Over Generalizing a bit regarding Pitt Co, NC - Many of the VA families moved into NC (such as Granville & Pitt) prior to their move to SC & GA. One such family is that of Richard Davis of Amelia Co., VA - moved to Granville Nc and died there - his son's Absolom, Chesley, Gideon and Lewis and migrated to Abbeville Dist SC and enlisted in Rev War - post war they lived in Elbert Co., GA.

Ruth, I looked at all of the OLIVERS I have in my database, and I have about 20 of them and you are right, almost all of them seem to be linked to families that are tied to the Middlesex DANIELS in various ways. I have about 37,100 people in this database with probably about twice or more listed in the notes for the wife of specific individuals. John R.
