Stubblefield or Elizabeth McDaniel. Hi, again, Nita... I know that conundrums are supposed to be the enjoyable challenge of genealogical research, but enough is enough. I can truly relate to your frustration with the Coleman name....also, the McDaniel line. My McDaniel line (just for a possible hint for you) is from Chatham Co. NC with a Jacob McDaniel (Rev. War Soldier) who married Elizabeth (I've forgotten her maiden name, but it isn't Stubblefield)). They came to GA about 1810. At least, most of the family did. Let's hope this will be the year we'll both make a break-through. Sandra
