There were two more persons in the family named Daniel Severs. One was Daniel F and the other (My family group_- Daniel Hugh Severs). I do think George is a possible child of this group but Abraham, less likely. George has been used in this family but not Abraham and they were NOT very inventive when naming children. I have no info on William Severs 1752 before his marriage in Montgomery Co VA in l793. I have been looking in the area from Savanna GA to Montgomery Co VA for any other info on him. I had hoped for an indenture or oath of alegiance but have not found one.
