    1. Some Interesting Information - BURGAMY Family
    2. John R. Clarke
    3. Good Morning, One of the 25 matches for my DANIEL bunch was to a descendant of Benjamin DANIEL (1764-1816) and Lucretia BURGAMY of Washington, later Laurens County, GA. What most do not realize is her name was not BURGAMONT, as many list it, she was actually the d/o John BURGAMY and Elizabeth of Wilkes County, GA. This John was executed after the Battle of Augusta, GA in 1781 by English Col. BROWNE . What is interesting about John BURGAMY was -- his mother was a HAWKINS, a name we see all over the POTTERS of Granville and Vance County, NC and we know who they are loosely connected to -- the family of Chesley DANIEL and Judith Woodson CHRISTIAN. I have always felt there was a good chance Benjamin of Washington County, GA, due to his proximity, was related to my DANIEL bunch over in neighboring Burke and Jefferson County, GA. Nothing definite, just a hunch. We now carry Benjamin as a son of Capt. Aaron DANIEL and Elizabeth LANIER of Cheraw County, SC. We also know the widow of John BURGAMY later married a BERNARD AFT 1782, probably in Wilkes County, GA where BURGAMY was from. I do not have the documentation for the descendant of this Benjamin DANIEL who took this DNA test and am trying to get it. Maybe it will provide some other details. This all smells to be part of the same bunch. If this person who took this DNA test is actually a descendant of Benjamin DANIEL and he was actually a son of Aaron and Betsy, it confirms what I have began to think concerning this DANIEL family -- parts of the DANIEL family of Middlesex County, VA and the LANIER-DANIEL bunch of Tyrrell County, NC were parts of the same overall DANIEL family. However, that will have to wait upon the descent chart and documentation of this person who took this DNA test - Kit #13086. John R. Clarke Thomasville, GA
