Hi Shannon, You and I have corresponded before and I don't think we have any connection. I did have a great-grandfather (John L. DANIEL) who lived in Laurel Co., KY with his second wife (my great-grandfather) and they had a son, William Lewis DANIEL born in Laurel Co., KY on June 30, 1865. They were married 02/08/1864 but we don't know if they were married in Kentucky. The second wife was Nancy (unknown maiden name) who was born in Kentucky in 1845. We know he lived in Laurel Co., KY with his first wife and children so we are assuming he divorced her and married Nancy ? in KY. Not sure. I wrote to London, KY to the County Seat and requested a marriage, divorce license for John L. Daniel and a birth certificate for William Lewis Daniel, their son. From London, KY they sent back the message that they had none of those certificates for John L. Daniel or his son. John Lewis Daniel's father, Joseph Daniel and his wife, Levisa Greenlee Daniel are buried in Bell County (Joseph) and Laurel Co.,(Levisa.) I'm not searching for any of the Daniel (s) you mentioned being sought on the Daniel list (South Africa.) My Daniel ancestors were from Claiborne and Grainger Counties in Tennessee, moved to NC, KY and finally settled in Pulaski Co., Illinois where many of them are buried and where I was born. My grandfather, Charles D. Hathaway Daniel was the son of John Lewis Daniel and Nancy ? He added the s to his family name so my name was Daniels as was the name of my father, Raymond Daniels and Charles D. Hathaway Daniels is on the tombstone. Have you ever been in touch (e-mail) with my third cousin,Joseph (Joe) Daniels, in Las Vegas? He had the same great-great-grandfather as I but his grandfather added the s to his name. His family was in Kentucky. Jefferys was one of the wives' names. If you haven't contacted Joe to see if your families connect; and you want to contact him, his e-mail is: JDani74837@aol.com Happy Hunting!
