Good morning, I have posted the deeds as relating to George HESKETT who was of Essex County, MA. His daughter, Mary, married John DANIEL the Shipwright of Charleston, who was supposedly from a completely different family than the DANIELLS. The following Charleston, SC deeds are also important. Notice the name RUSS in these deeds. Jonathan and Thomas RUSS were the children of John RUSS and Deborah OSGOOD, also of Essex County, MA -- the same location the HESKETS were from. Thomas RUSS was Jonathan's brother, both born in Essex County, MA (Boston). Guess who Jonathan's daughter, Elizabeth RUSS married? Robert DANIELL IV. Interesting, isn't it? That John DANIEL, JP did not escape my notice, either? <<< 1-176=K-266 19 & 20 Feb 1730 John (his mark) St. Martin, carpenter, to Landgrave Robert Daniell, both of Berkeley Co., for £400 currency, 140a in Berkeley Co., where John St. Martin lives, bounding N on Jonathan Russ; S on a creek of Wando River; E on marshes of Wando; W on Richard Beresford & Jonathan Russ.
