Hi, You sure are putting some folks awful near my family. Some of my family was from Somerset County, NJ. That Alexander DANIEL you have tied to one of the daughters of Col. Benjamin WHITAKER and Ann EMANUEL really interests me. I have an Allen DANIEL born 1793 that I cannot account for and someone may have later cobbled the name, Alex, into Allen. I have a list of 10 DANIEL kids but can confirm 6 maybe 7 of them. I also have one addition child, a Chesley C. DANIEL, but this is from the research of Buckner K. JOHNSTON up in NC but I have him on DANIEL marriage bonds and guardianship bonds in Burke County, GA so he may well be a sibling, too. The reason this Alex interests me is because there is an Alexander O'DANIEL born 1759 in Duplin County, NC who married Elizabeth GRADY, d/o William GRADY and Ann BARFIELD of Duplin County, formerly of Bertie. Alexander was the son of Frederick O'DANIEL and Charity WHITFIELD of Duplin County, NC. If you know the WHITFIELDS, they are all over the BRYANS. The MCCULLARS you also list are tied to the BRYANS in Johnston County, NC and one of your WHITAKERS married a BRYAN. I cannot tied Frederick or Alexander O'DANIEL to my DANIEL bunch but they are close enough for me to watch, closely, until I find a parent for Robert C. DANIEL (ABT 1765-AFT 1830) of Burke County, GA. I know who his wife was, Penelope LANE (1773-1846), d/o Capt. Isham LANE (ABT 1730-1801) of Greene County, NC but I cannot tie him back to a parent, either. I do think his wife was a Lucy GRAY, d/o Capt. John GRAY and Ann BRYAN of Lenoir County, NC but that is just a guess. I do think that Isham was a brother of Levin LANE of Jones County, NC, who also married a BRYAN. I also think these BRYAN roll back to Somerset County, MD. Did I tell you that the father of my GGM, Anne Eliza POTTER (1808-1863) who married Charles W. RICHTER (1807-1884), who we think was from the Somerset or Monmouth County, NJ area? He was a ship captain that some say was a John WHITE and some a Robert WHITE. I think John, which is where my name comes from. I also think he was married to a Margaret HARTSHORNE. The Charles CLARK family of Richmond County, GA, who was also from NJ, was all over my DANIEL family. Charles E. CLARK III (1782-1852) lived near Blythe, Richmond County, GA but actually lived very near my 2nd GGF, Robert C. DANIEL in 1820-1830. My bunch, like your WHITAKERS, could well be out of a New England family that migrated through NY, NJ, MD on the way to GA but mine stopped off in eastern NC for a generation or more. However, the best links in my DANIEL bunch are to the Lanier-Daniel family of Pitt County, NC and the Rogers-Daniel family of Martin County, NC. John R.

John, Thank you for this very interesting information. It appears that your Robert Daniel and my Alex DANIELS could be related in some way. I have never been able to find anything at all about Alex Daniels. It may be that he was actually an Allen or Alen Daniel This Alexander O'DANIEL from Duplin County, NC is another clue for me, however. I thought that I might be able to follow up on some of the children of Nancy WHITAKER and Alex Daniels, but have reached a dead end on them as well. Elizaeth Daniels, their first child married a DUNCAN, as did their daughter Ascenith. Daughter Louisa married a Dr. WESTBROOK, Daughter Martha married a JENKINS, and I have no information on who Dr. Benjamin Daniels, their son,married. My ancestor, Eli Daniel Whitaker, son of Col. Benjamin, married first Amelia Jane McCULLARS in Jefferson County. They had three children, Mary Street Whitaker, Eliza Jane Whitaker, and Benjamin T. Whitaker. Unfortunately Eliza Jane and Benjamin T. as well as their mother Amelia Jane died in 1839 when the children were one and two years old. I have been unable so far to find her parents. Eli then married Elizabeth WATTERS. It is very interesting that so many of your line came from Somerset County, NJ. Eliphalet Whitaker, b. 1732 lived in Somerset County New Jersey until the beginning of the Revolution, when for some reason he sold his property there and he and his wife bought property in Faggs Manor, Chester County, PA. In the "Return of Taxables for the County of Chester - 1785" Oxford Township, PA Eliphalet Whitaker paid tax of 1.19.1. Georgia became a state in 1788 and Eliphalet Whitaker drew land in the Georgia Land Lottery in 1788. 300 acres, 135 acres, and 100 acres in that year. We suspect that he was for awhile in Maryland with his oldest son, and perhaps came through the Carolinas to Georgia. Obidiah Pride Cheatham, brother of Arthur Rudd Cheatham ( and Ascenath Whitaker) married Charity BRYAN. There are CLARK's and Clarke's mixed all in the Whitaker lines back in New York and New Jersey. Thanks again. I'm hoping that I may find a connection with this Alexander O'Daniel. Joan Whitaker Landrum ----- Original Message ----- From: "John R.
