Donnie, Yes, I have read about this DANIEL before. Your Joseph DANIEL was born about 1870, almost twenty years after my William Russell DANIEL (1853-1904), son of R. W. DANIEL of Bethany, Jefferson County, GA and brother of Alice Elizabeth DANIEL (1854-1924), Mrs. John C. RICHTER, Sr. of Reese Community, Morgan County, GA. There is also a William Russell DANIEL out of the DANIELL family of Bogart, Oconee County, GA. I just guess that Russell was a pretty popular middle name. The Russell in my William's name came from his grandfather, Methodist minister and Presiding Elder in the GA Conference, Rev. Russell RENEAU. Alice and John also used it as the first name of their second son, Russell Daniel RICHTER (1883-1944), my uncle, who married Burma ADAMS (1886-1971), d/o of George and Elizabeth ADAMS of Harwell Community, Morgan County, GA. Your DANIEL bunch was related to the George Washington DANIEL bunch in Madison, weren't they? John R.
