I understand this and this is what I have. I think we got off on the wrong generation with our Sarahs. I also have Cassandra, born March 25, 1822, as a child of John Griffis and Sarah Neal. BUT! Explain the following from Dawn Cannady Williams: In 1827 John R. Daniel/Daniell married the widow Sarah Griffis. She later divorced him stating he was running around with another woman. She also stated that he was after her money left by her late husband and that he was trying to say the "other woman" she claimed he was seeing was some relation to him. The document I have from the courthouse states she married him 1/27/1827. John was served the divorce papers in 1842. [email protected] It seems to me that the above Sarah would be Sarah Neal Griffis, MOTHER of Sarah Griffis (who was b. 1801, supposedly married John Raven Daniel in January 27, 1827 and had a son named Nathaniel who married Elizabeth Atkinson and had Henry Richard Daniel on July 01, 1851). The latter Sarah would be the Sarah Daniel, age 49, living in the household of Neil and Mary McLeod in 1850. The only Nathaniel Daniel I found in 1850 that fit the right age was in Baker County: Nathaniel Daniel, age 22, Butcher, Mrs. Elizabeth Daniel, age 15. The only explanation I can come up with for all of this is that Sarah Griffis, the DAUGHTER, was married to ANOTHER Griffis (who died and left her property) prior to her marriage in 1827 to J.R. Daniel; divorced J.R.D. in 1842 and moved in with her sister, Mary McLeod. Now I'm confused all over again!
