Good morning, All. Below are my General Notes on Jose DANIELL of the Congarees. If anyone can link to Jose or others mentioned in the information below, please let know. In my effort to learn more about him, any other mentions of Jose, family links, or personal associations, would be greatly appreciated. Because associated surnames are spread among a number of SC Counties, I've posted to more than one list, kindly pardon that. Robert --- General Notes on Jose DANIELL: Seven references to Jose DANIELL (1757-1799), son of James DANIELL and grandson of William and Frances O'DANIEL of Stafford County, Virginia, have been found. All name him as "Jose". Jose DANIELL was born 6 Dec 1757 (probably SC, maybe VA). His birth was recorded in the Bible of his father, James DANIELL of Fairfield County, South Carolina and Hancock County, Georgia. James DANIELL was a son of William O'DANIEL of Stafford County, Virginia. The 1790 Census lists Jose DANIEL in Richland County, Camden District, South Carolina with no family and 28 slaves. No record of Jose being married or having children has been found. Jose DANIELE is the last person named in the index of the 1797 Last Will and Testament of John MIERS of Richland County, South Carolina. Others indexed as in this Will are John MIERS, Patsy MIERS, Jacob MIERS, Cathareine (sic) MIERS, Nursessee (sic) HARRISON, Ann Harriot HARRISON, William GOODWYN, Nan (Slave), Martin H. LARY, William HOLLADAY, John CULPEPER, Jose DANIELE. (Source: MSS WILL: BOOK C, PAGE 151; Estate Packet: Box 21, Pkg 512) (2 Frames). (The "LE" may be "LL" on the original, the second "L" being mistaken as "E" when transcribed. RLD) Jose DANIELL, along with his brother, Levi DANIELL, and William HARDWICK Jr. were named executors of the 1797 LW&T of James DANIELL of Hancock County, Georgia in which he was given "three hundred acres of land lying on the Congaree River and 400 acres in a place called 'The Ridge' and ten Negro slaves viz Buchrage and his wife Magga, and their three children, also a Negro man named Sippia and Judy his wife and their children Sarah, Stepney?, and Long Tom and Shaba, also one feather bed to him and his heirs forever." The death of Jose DANIELL was reported in the South Carolina Gazette of April 5, 1799: "Died in Charleston, on Tues. the 26th ult. Mr. Jose DANIEL of the Congaree." Jose died about 14 months after his father, apparently unexpected and intestate. A record of suit against the estate of his father James DANIELL is recorded in Hancock County, Georgia, Deed Book C, p. 543. "We, James TAYLOR and Matthew HOWELL of South Carolina, and the said HOWELL being an administrator of the goods and chattles of Jose DANIELL, deceased, have appointed Doctor Robert HENRICK (HENDRICK) of the same place, our true and lawful attorney, for us, in our names jointly, to ask, demand, sue for, recover and receive such legacies & c which said James TAYLOR and Matthew HOWELL jointly or either in own right or as administrator for the said Jose DANIELL, may be entitled by law to receive from the estate of JAMES DANIELL, late of State of Georgia, deceased. This 8th Jun 1801. Wit: Peter BREMER. Recorded 15th Jul 1801." This Deed of Conveyance, said to start on Edgefield South Carolina Deed Bk. 29, page 494, was transcribed by Robert Daniell from electronic copies of original pages graciously provided by Martha Taylor of La Pine, Alabama. Portions of the edges of the pages were not visible, causing missing page numbers and omission of words where indicated by "..."

Capt. James TAYLOR, a brother-in-law, married 2 Dec 1772 in Columbia, SC to Sarah DANIELL who died 6 Dec 1793. James DANIELL's will included bequeaths: "Item. I give and bequeath unto my son-in-law James TAYLOR three Negroes, (viz) Jack, Hannah, and Jane to him and his heirs forever. Item. I give and bequeath unto the heirs of my daughter Sarah and James TAYLOR five Negroes viz: Hollon?, Jubiter, Abram, Solomon and Prince to them and their heirs forever." "Mary HOWELL the Relict of William HOWELL" appears to be Mary DANIELL, Jose's sister who apparently married second Dr. Robert HENDRICK. Matthew HOWELL, not known, possibly a child of William & Mary Daniell HOWELL, or a brother of Jesse Malachi HOWELL (son or Malachi and Martha Epps Goodwyn HOWELL) who married circa 1798 Patience TAYLOR, Jose's niece, daughter of Capt. James and Sarah Daniell TAYLOR. Dr. Robert HENDRICK, brother-in-law, married to Mary DANIELL, 21 May 1795, in Columbia, South Carolina. James DANIELL's will included bequeaths: "Item. I give and bequeath to my son-in-law Robert HANDRICK one tract of land on Alligator Creek which land he has my titles for. Also 50 acres of land on the Broad River to him and his heirs forever." and "Item. I give and bequeath to my granddaughter Patsy HANDRICK three Negroes viz Joe, Ruker, Fillis? I also give her one half of the Negroes that I have lent to my wife after the death of my wife, to her and her heirs forever." William HARDWICK, Jr. was a brother of Nancy Hardwick DANIELL, widow of James DANIELL. Phil. E. PEARSON, a grandson of John PEARSON and Mary RAIFORD of Camden Co., SC, and 1st cousin of Martha Pearson COOK, wife of Jose's brother, Levi DANIELL (deceased Dec 1800) of Richland Co., SC and Hancock Co., GA Peter BREMER, unknown, likely a son of John BREMER/AR, a neighbor of James DANIEL/LL indexed with James on numerous land transactions in South Carolina. Moses KIRKLAND was the husband of Patience RAIFORD and a neighbor of James DANIELL. The MIERS appear to have been Jose's neighbors. William GOODWYN possibly a cousin through the GOODWYN, RAIFORD, HOWELL, PEARSON and DANIELL (DANIEL) marriages .
