Hi, I like this DANIEL bunch over in LaGrange a lot. I also like the DICKINSON connection to it, as well. I also liked your reference to the "Demonocratic Convention," which I assume means that your family has now seen the light. <grin> I talked with a man over in LaGrange several years ago and asked him about physical descriptors for this LaGrange DANIEL family, since they already seem to have met the financial and educational profile of my bunch to a tee. He told me they were short, of thin frames, fair and light headed, etc., another match with my DANIEL bunch. Was this DANIEL family part of the one that had a CANNON-CASON connection to it. If so, I am really interested..... I am going to forward you, via of a separate message, a picture of my GGF, Robert W. DANIEL taken in 1863 in Savannah. Let me know if you see anything familiar in it. John R.
