Ann, This brings up an interesting name. The name, William Russell DANIEL, is a name in this DANIEL family of Jefferson County, GA (and later, Morgan County, GA) but the dates do not fit with the other information I have on this family. William Russell DANIEL (1853-1904) was the older brother of Alice Elizabeth DANIEL (1854-1924) who married John C. RICHTER, Sr. in 1872. Alice and John RICHTER were married in 1872 by Dr. David WILLS, President of Oglethorpe University in Madison. William Russell DANIEL married Florence A. FISK (1852-1896) on 17 Feb 1879 (her 27th birthday) in Madison and the marriage was performed by Methodist minister, Rev. William B. CRAWFORD. I have a list of the children of WRD but they do not include a WRD, Jr.- see census information below. Most printed information about WRD refers to him as the "much lamented, William R. DANIEL." I do not know the reason for this tag line, either. Maybe someone else knows.... William R. DANIEL and Florence FISK had five children that I know of: i. Beatrice Russell DANIEL born 1880 married a RAMBO or RAMBEAU ii. Lena Elizabeth DANIEL born 1882 married a BISHOP, some say Frederick L. BISHOP iii. Robert Olimus DANIEL (1883-1960) married a Christie Belle EDWARDS of Palatka, FL iv. Carl James DANIEL born 1886 - we do not know much about him v. Christine Vereen or Verie DANIEL born 1888 married a RHODEN and they, too, went to FL. After Florence FISK died in 1896, WRD married Clara A. VINING (ABT 1860-ABT 1920), the widow of Drury P. EVANS (1823-1894) of Madison. I have a picture taken about 1916, probably in Madison, of some of these DANIEL children which also includes their step mother, Clara Vining DANIEL. I also have a picture of Freddy BISHOP, a child of Lena DANIEL, taken on the front steps of the Henry Harris FITZPATRICK home in Madison with one of the FITZPATRICK boys ABT 1920. William Russell DANIEL and Florence Adele FISK are buried in the DANIEL family plot in the New Section of the Madison City Cemetery, along with his mother, Mary Jane Reneau Daniel RIVERS (1830-1912) and stepfather, Professor Winfield Montgomery RIVERS (1824-1905). I do not know much about WRD's wives - Florence or Clara. I know that Florence FISK was of "Wellsville, Allegany County, NY," according to the Reneau-Richter bible, but I do not have a clue who her parents were. I think she was a school teacher at the Methodist girl's school in Madison and I think she was from rather wealthy parents because she (or they) bought this couple a nice home on 8 acres in Madison in 1880, after they were married. I have a picture of Florence taken on the porch of this home ABT 1890 and she appears to be a rather nice looking lady. He, meaning WRD, "went to seed" from the pictures I have of him and by the 1890's is a pot bellied, bearded, though still professional looking fellow. This is in striking contrast to the portraits I have of him made in the late 1860's when he was a boy. I have the identical portrait of Alice made about the same time and they were nice looking kids. In fact, our youngest daughter, Nancy, a senior at UGA, looks a lot like her great-grandmother, Alice. As for Clara VINING, she may be out of a VINING family in Madison or one that lived near Macon, Bibb County, GA. I do not have any information on her and she is not buried with WRD and Florence in Madison. She may have been a school teacher, at one time, too. I do imagine that since WRD married a Yankee they were not warmly received or probably included in RICHTER family gatherings, because all of these boys were CSA veterans and Florence was a Yankee and they lived too close to the end of the Civil War for such things to be easily forgotten. I do not know exactly when the RIVERS moved back to Madison from Glen Rose, TX but it was sometime after 1900. I also know they did not live with this DANIEL family but with John and Alice Daniel RICHTER. At least, Alice's mother, Mary Jane RENEAU, was living with Alice and John in 1912 when she died. Mary Jane was the oldest daughter of Rev. Russell RENEAU and Elizabeth STOCKTON. Rev. RENEAU (1807-1865) was a Presiding Elder in the GA and AR Conferences of the Methodist Church. Mary Jane married Robert W. DANIEL, Esq. (1809-1865) in 1852 in Jefferson County, GA. After he died, she married Professor Winfield M. RIVERS of James Island, SC in 1867. Winfield M. RIVERS was a graduate of the University of Charleston and the older brother of Dr. William Bainbridge RIVERS of Rivers Hill Plantation, Oxford, Newton County, GA. RIVERS oldest daughter, Hallie Elise RIVERS (1850-1835) by his first wife, a Suzie COPES or CAPERS who died in 1862, married Martin L. "Mat" RICHTER, Sr. (1846-1924), John's slightly older brother. The RIVERS were a prominent family of James Island, SC. His brother, Dr. RIVERS, married Sophie R. THOMAS, d/o Rev. Edward Lloyd THOMAS, Sr. of the GA conference. Her brother was Gen. E. L. THOMAS, Jr. CSA. Both of these two RICHTER boys served in the Company A, "GA Cadets" during the CW and fought at Resaca, Kennesaw, Atlanta, Milledgeville, Savannah and Augusta in the 1864-1865 time frame. Most of this RIVERS and THOMAS family of Oxford are buried in the old Oxford Cemetery, Oxford, Newton County, GA with the other early Methodist Big-Whigs. So, you can see from this, the families of John and Mat RICHTER were probably pretty close in this time frame. However, I know that Dr. Anne KILPATRICK, a grand daughter of Mat and Hallie Rivers RICHTER, was not even aware that her great-grandfather, RIVERS, was buried in Madison, so this family must have drifted apart at some time or another. I also have pictures of RIVERS and most of this family. As for who this William Russell DANIEL (1890-1964) was -- I have not a clue. However, his being in Madison and having this same name makes me think he may well be out of this DANIEL family, somewhere. I just do not know who he was, so any information on this person is appreciated.
