Sons: William and Benjamin. Witnessess: Thomas Bailey and William Collins ___________ Because of the situation with Daniel's "wife", I wonder if both of them were from Maryland. I tried to find either of them in some books of Maryland records with no luck, but still suspect they were there someplace. I just had an idea. Was John Regan also from Maryland (how else would he have known about Sarah's other husband?). This probably isn't my family, I was looking at a lot of records from Surry County including Harrisons.
