Dear, Connie, Thank you for the name of Mrs. Mary Daniel's first husband. Of the two Benjamin F. (Franklin) Daniel in my file, neither fits this time frame. One died in 1841, the other was born 1871. The mention of Bells Chapel is interesting since a cousin, William Daniel of Edgefield Co. (1747-1807), married abt 1777 Lucretia Bell. Curious too is William and Lucretia's not having a son Benjamin, named for her father. Or at least, I've not yet found him. I trust the information will help someone else.
