Hi! I am new to this group and thought I would introduce myself. My name is Kim. I am researching my ancestors who settled in Greene County, Missouri and Christian County, Missouri at various times from 1820--1880. The names I am researching include: John F. McDaniel, b 1765 Randolph County, NC, living in Tenn in 1813, living in Greene County in 1850. Samuel R. McDaniel, b 1813 Perry Cty, Tenn, living in Greene County in 1850. m Elizabeth Walker, b 1813 Tenn. (Elizabeth daughter of EITHER David and Margarat (Pendleton) Walker, OR William and Nancy Walker. William McDaniel, b 1836 in Tenn, m Matilda Jane Shipman, b 1855 Springfield, MO (Matilda daughter of Abraham Shipman and Hester Ann Garrison) Andrew Jackson McDaniel, b 1860 Ozark, Christian Cty, MO + Maggie or Sarah Elizabeth Hiles (Elizabeth daughter of Andrew Hiles and Catherine Walker) William Jasper McDaniel, b 1894, Sparta, Christian Cty, MO, moved to Kansas + Iva Pearl Brown. (Iva daughter of John William Brown and P. Nash) My current dead ends are John Brown, P. Nash, Andrew Hiles, and Catherine Walker. Trying to link John F. McDaniel to the other McDaniels living in these areas that were also from Randolph County, NC including Samuel A. McDaniel (wife Sarah), who was a prominent businessman in early Springfield. Also trying to find PROOF of who Elizabeth Walker's parents were. Any help is greatly appreciated! I also have a family Bible that belonged to my ggrandfather William Jasper McDaniel. In it is listed the witnesses to his marriage. These are Sallie Johnson and Ota Johnson. This marriage was in Sparta, MO. Perhaps someone is looking for info on them too. :-) Kim _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
