Hello out there! I'm looking for a William Daniels family. The members are in 1860: William Daniels age 33 (1827) Elizabeth Daniels age 30 (1830) Stephen Daniels age 4 (1856) Nancy Daniels age 6/12 (Jan/Feb 1860) Mary Ann Daniels born 1864 Mary Ann is my ggrand mother. I remembered that my grandmother told me about here and her family. I've only been able to locate them on the 1860 Florida Census. If anyone could help me find these lost family member, I would be forever grateful. Randy Thaxton

Randy, The Daniels or Daniel (often spelled without the "s" on the end) families were well-established in Jackson County at the time of the Civil War. A William Daniel, age 64, served as a member of Captain A.R. Godwin's Campbellton Cavalry during the Battle of Marianna and was captured in the fighting. He died from diarrhea at Elmira Prison, New York, on December 25, 1864, and is buried in Woodlawn Cemetery there. Another individual, Lawson Daniels (age 46), was a member of Company B, 15th Confederate Cavalry (formerly the "Marianna Dragoons") and was home with a few other members of his unit on "special duty" at the time of the Battle of Marianna. He was captured and died at Elmira, New York, on April 14, 1865. Stephen Daniel, an officer in the state militia, commanded troops from Jackson County during the Second Seminole War. He was a key officer in a series of attacks on refugee Creeks in nearby Walton County and commanded a militia post at Campbellton. Glen Nobles lists Josiah Daniel, Thomas N. Daniel, William H. Daniel, Jr., and Benjamin F. Daniell on his list of the original landowners of Jackson County. He may be able to provide you more information. The 1850 census lists a Franklin Daniel, age 29, as an overseer on the Walter J. Robinson Plantation. Josiah Daniel is shown on the same census as the head of a household near Campbellton that included his wife, Sarah (age 36), and children: Elizabeth (age 13), Elijah (10), Sarah (7), William (5), Frances (3) and Edward (2). Hopefully some of this will be of use to you. Best, Dale Cox www.exploresouthernhistory.com www.battleofmarianna.com If so, Randy Thaxton <sudyrand@theriver.com> wrote: Hello out there!
