---------------------------------------------------------------------
James W. Nolan was reared to a knowledge farm life by his father, James Nolan, and like the majority of farmers' boys he has followed in his ancestor's footsteps, and is now one of the leading agriculturists of this parish. He is a native of Wilkes County, Ga., where he was born in 1837, and until eighteen years of age, at which time the father died, he remained under the shelter of the paternal roof, his mother, whose maiden name was Almedia Florence, having died when he was twelve years old. The father was born in Virginia in 1780, being a son of George Nolan, who was of English descent, a Revolutionary soldier, and died in his native State of Virginia. The mother was born in Lincoln County, Ga., in which State her father, Thomas Florence, was born and spent his life, being a tiller of the Soil. James W. Nolan was the first of three sons and three daughters, and received a good education in his youth at Washington, Ga., also spending one term in the University of Virginia at Charlotteville. In 1859 he came to De Soto Parish, La., and farmed until the opening of the war. He was married in 1861 to Miss Mary Fannie, daughter of Benjamin W. and Julia Pearson, the former a native of Raleigh, N. C., and the latter of Camden, Ala., their marriage taking place in Montgomery, of the latter State. They came to De Soto Parish in 1840, the father dying in 1876, aged about seventy-two, and the mother still living, at the age of seventy-three years, a worthy member of the Methodist Church. Mrs. Nolan was born at Fort Jessup, Sabine Parish, La., in 1840, and is the third of eleven children, and the mother of thirteen children, ten sons and two daughters living. Mr. Nolan served for a short time in the Confederate army in Shelly's battalion, which was afterward merged into the Crescent Regiment, and held the rank of sergeant. After the war he spent four years as a merchant of Mansfield, but has since devoted his attention to farming, being the owner of about 1,800 acres, with 600 cleared. He is also operating a saw, grist-mill and cotton gin, in all of which enterprises he is doing well. He and his wife have been members in good standing of the Methodist Church for a long time, and for many years he has been a member of the A. F. & A. M.

Obituary and Death Notice
SALISBURY -- Colonel (retired) George Doan Rehkopf passed peacefully away Saturday morning in Salisbury, NC, at age 86. Son of Colonel Ned B. Rehkopf (U.S. Military Academy, class of 1902) and maternal grandson of Brigadier General James Brailsford Erwin (USMA 1880), Rehkopf was born at Ft. Leavenworth, KS, on October 19, 1919. As the member of a military family, travel and reassignment were frequent and resulted in five different elementary and three high schools. He received an appointment to West Point and entered in the summer of 1938 as a member of the Class of 1942.
Upon graduation Rehkopf was assigned to the 30th Infantry Division (Old Hickory). By January of 1944 Captain Rehkopf commanded I Company of the 119th Infantry, 30th Division, on its way to England for the invasion of France. The 30th Division was one of the follow-on divisions to the initial beach assault at Omaha Beach. On the 30th of June, Rehkopf was wounded by German artillery fire and evacuated to England. After recuperation, he returned in time for the Battle of the Bulge and was wounded a second time in late February of 1945 during the Roer River crossing. His decorations included the Silver Star for valor and two Purple Hearts.
After the war Rehkopf returned to the states and was assigned to Army Intelligence in the Pentagon. During the latter phase of this assignment, Rehkopf was transferred to the National Security Agency and was commander of a decoding division with over 125 staff. What followed was the somewhat normal series of military schooling, troop assignment, and further Pentagon duty. Delightful assignments in Paris from 1952 to 1955 and Puerto Rico from 1961 to 1964 resulted in pleasant experiences and a much-improved golf game.
After finishing the War College he was assigned as the Commanding Officer of the newly formed 199th Light Infantry Brigade at Fort Benning in 1966. Late that year the 199th shipped to Vietnam with Rehkopf as the Deputy Commander. Upon returning from Vietnam, his final assignment was to the Artillery School at Ft. Sill as Senior Associate Arms Instructor, retiring in January of 1969 to become a stock and commodities broker in Columbus, GA. On reaching age 62 he fully retired to the golf course in order to complete his series of 7 holes-in-one -- all, he claimed, with little or no practice.
At the beginning of his career, on November 27, 1943, he married Helene Louise Nye, daughter of Wilbur S. Nye (USMA 1920). Their first child, a daughter Robin Elleane, was born in September of 1944, while he was overseas. He and Helene also had a son, Edward Nye (USMA 1969) born in July of 1947, and a second daughter, Lynn, born in January 1951. In retirement in Columbus [Georgia], he and Helene were active members of Holy Family Church and enjoyed their life together in Green Island Hills. The serenity and joy of this family life came to an abrupt end in May of 1997 with Helene's passing.
After a period of dispossessing a lifetime's accumulation, he learned the telephone number of a recently widowed high school friend, Frances (Sassy) Ricker. They reconnected by phone and were wed in April of 1999 after which they made their home in Raleigh, NC. He always expressed appreciation and gratitude to Sassy and her family, Frances (Frannie) Whitten and Frederic Arnold of Raleigh, and Victoria Wood of Greenville, SC, for making his last years so enjoyable.
Rehkopf is survived by his wife, Frances Ricker Rehkopf; and three children, Robin S. Rehkopf of Van Nuys, CA, Edward N. Rehkopf of Mount Ulla, NC, and Lynn Doroghazi of St. Louis, MO; eight grandchildren; and three great grandchildren.
His remains will be laid to rest next to Helene below the Old Cadet Chapel at West Point. George will always be remembered by his children and grandchildren as an imposing man with a ready smile, a great sense of humor, and a love of life. He will be missed.

Early Stafford County, Virginia information: "Burke Spring Timeline"
1715 — English colonist William Darrell receives patent for substantial tract of land south of Pimmit Run between present-day Kirby Road and Old Dominion Drive. 200 acres of the land is leased to William SCUTT. [Father of William SCUTT, husband of Elizabeth O'DANIEL?]
1738 — SCUTT's 200 acres is leased to John Cockerill and two others, for an annual sum of 730 pounds of tobacco. Cockerill owns six slaves. The Pimmit tributary on the property is known as "Cockerill's Spring Branch." [http://www.connectionnewspapers.com/article.asp?article=309743&paper=68&cat=104]

William SCUTT (SCOTT) and James O'DANIEL were listed as chain carriers on a survey of 300 acres of land for John GLADDIN on 7 June, 1741.
Before 16 March 1746, William married Elizabeth O"DANIEL, James' sister and daughter of William and Frances O'DANIEL. In Northern Neck Land Grant F-316, William SCUTT is listed then as adjacent to "Lewis SAUNDERS the younger of Fairfax Co." on land formerly granted to Elizabeth's father, William O'DANIEL, in 1724. (Abstracts of Virginia's Northern Neck Warrents and Surveys 1710-1780, Vol III-IV, p. 117)

On 23 November 1752, on the petition of Lewis Sanders Jr.: “…Ordered that John Cotton James Halley, William Scutt & William Kitchen or any three of them view the road by the Petitioners plantation & report upon oath whether the same may be conveniently turned Lewis Sanders Jr. petitions the court for road repairs by his plantation…” The Kitchen family will maintain a long association with the Sanders family.Lewis receives permission to turn the road in June of 1753. Page 407, Ibid. [http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~sandersgenealogy/FairfaxSanders.html]
On 7 April, 1753, William and Elizabeth O'Daniel SCOTT, together with her sister and husband, Henry and Katherine O'Daniel GUNNELL, signed an indenture selling 200 acres of land to Francis SUMMERS. These two hundred acres were the south west half of the four hundred acres granted to William O'DANIEL on the 16 March 1724, apparently bequeathed Elizabeth and Katherine, in his will, dated 24 January 1728?. The indenture was witnessed by Lewis ELLZEY, James HAMILTON, William PAYNE, William SUMMERS, James? STEPHENS, John LANE, and James HANDY. The 1760 interpretive map of Fairfax County by Beth Mitchell shows Francis SUMMERS land adjoining that of John O'DANIEL. A William SCOTT's land is just north of John's.
Fairfax County Road Orders 1749-1800 by Beth Mitchell lists William SCUTT in three instances:
23 Nov 1752 - On petition of Lewis SANDERS junr. Ordered that John COTTON, James HALLEY, William SCUTT & William KITCHEN or any three of them view the road by the Petitioners' plantation & report on oath...;
20 June 1753 - On Petition of Lewis SANDERS for liberty to turn a road... James HALLEY, William SCUTT...;
22 May 1754 - John O'DANIEL, Elizabeth's brother, was appointed surveyor of the Church road in the room of William SCUTT. (http://www.virginiadot.org/vtrc/main/online_reports/pdf/03-r19.pdf) Church Road bisected John's property.
On 10 October 1755, William SCUTT was a private in the Fairfax militia company of Capt. Lewis ELLZEY which was sent to the assistance of Frederick and Hampshire counties. Among the other soldiers was Joseph Jones.
Additional information on William SCUTT received from Russell Hall of Germantown, Tennessee, a GLADDIN researcher, provides that William reported Ann NELSON for having a base born child; that John CARLYLE, admr. of Ann GLADIN, filed a suit against William SCUTT and John DRAKEFORD; and that William was an appraiser of the Frances GLADEN estate (died in 1757).
The Fairfax County, Va. - Census - Taxlist of Thomas Lewis 1782 names a "Scutt, William" with 7 whites and 3 blacks. [http://files.usgwarchives.net/va/fairfax/census/1782/1782tax03.txt]
ALL BELOW IS SUPPOSITION! -
Elizabeth O'Daniel SCUTT may have died before 1755, as neither she nor William were named in her mother's will signed 7 February 1755.
In 1748, a WILLIAM SCOTT, received a tract of land west of the Wateree River above the Richland County line. This preceded the land grants to James O'DANIEL and his brother William O'DANIEL in 1754 in the same area. Based on this William SCOTT's will of 1810, he had two sons and one daughter: William SCOTT, Samuel SCOTT (whose second wife was Jane ROSS), and Elizabeth SCOTT who married Lewis DINKINS. The daughter named Elizabeth and the proximity of many members of the extended O'DANIEL family make a circumstantial case for this to be the William SCOTT family from Fairfax, Virginia. This is NOT proven.
It is also possible that she and William had moved to South Carolina with James and William O'DANIEL (II) and was not mentioned because of her absence. Noting that John O'DANIEL replaced William SCUTT as surveyor of the Church road on 22 May 1754 in Fairfax County, Virginia, and that both of Elizabeth's other brothers have land records in South Carolina in 1754, adds to that possibility.
William and Elizabeth SCOTT sold their 100 acres in Fairfax County, Virginia inherited from Elizabeth's father, William O'DANIEL on April 7, 1753. On 10 Jan 1754 in South Carolina, James DANIEL (O'DANIEL) witnessed lease and release deed by James (his mark) WESTON, planter, & Elizabeth his wife, to Thomas HOWELL, planter, both of Craven County, for 100 acres on the North side of the Congaree River.
On 10 October 1755, William SCUTT was a trooper in the Fairfax militia company commanded by Capt. Lewis ELLZEY. They were sent to the assistance of Frederick and Hampshire counties. William was paid 300 pounds of tobacco for 30 days service. Among the troopers was a Joseph JONES. [Virginia's Colonial soldiers, Lloyd DeWitt Bockstruck, p. 161]
In 1757 the year Frances GLADIN, late O'DANIEL, died, both William SCUTT and James DANIELL were in Fairfax, Virginia. William as an appraiser of Frances' estate and James to sell the 100 acres he had inherited from his father. Did they return from South Carolina together to terminate their affairs in Virginia upon the death of James and Elizabeth's mother? In 1760 though, a William SCOTT has property in Fairfax, not far from Elizabeth's brother, John O'DANIEL.
Possible??: Near William O'DANIEL, brother of James: SC Archives: Series Number: S111001 Volume: 0011 Page: 00134 Item: 02 Date: 1772/02/24 Description: SCOTT, William, Memorial for 300 Acres on White Oak Creek, Craven County. Names Indexed: SCOTT, William/SCOTT, Daniel/BEEK, John/GOODIN[GLADDIN OR GOODWIN?], John/DANIEL, William/LEWIS, James/NELSON, Reason/Locations: Craven County/White Oak Creek Type: Memorial.
The 1782 State Census for Virginia., Fairfax County lists:
William SCUTT 7 whites, 3 blacks on the LIST OF THOMAS LEWIS.
William SCOTT - 1 white, 11 blacks on the LIST OF HENRY DARN. Cause to think that Elizabeth may have died and William either returned or did not go to South Carolina?
A William SCOTT was the St. Andrew's Parish Representative to the South Carolina U.S. Constitution Ratification Convention of Sep 17, 1787, voting for ratification May 23, 1788. It is reasonable to think that William SCOTT and James DANIELL moved together because of their close relationship in Viginia, but that in itself doesn't prove this William is the same William SCUTT from James' youth in Fairfax.
Did the SCUTT family cut ties to Fairfax circa 1753 and move to South Carolina with Elizabeth's brothers, William and James? A group migration from Virginia by James and William O'DANIEL (II) and William SCUTT?

Surnames: Hill Scott Talbott
William Scott, who was the author of the Nelson Co.Ky. Will which was proved in May of 1805 was originally of the Fairfax Co, Va. area. He is listed on the 1760 Fairfax County Map. Wm. Scott had a three-lives-lease from George Mason as did his neighbors, Wm. Stone, Wm. Kitchen, John Bronaugh (sic)and John Cotton. These deeds are all dated between the 7th Oct 1757 and the 15th of November 1757.
In his Will, Wm. Scott declares that John Scott is deceased and left two daughters, Nancy and Betsy Scott. Wm.Scott, the son, was a Reverend. Son Thomas Scott married
Nancy Redmond the 3 Oct 1785 in Nelson County,Ky. Daniel Scott married Nancy Floyd 4 Feb 1807 in Nelson Co, Ky. James Scott bca. 1786 d.1 Sept 1824, married 16 Mar 1809 to Mary
Weaver in Nelsn County. Elizabeth Scott was the wife of Wm.
Talbott, who died shortly thereafter in Nelson Co.Nancy Scott was the wife of Nathaniel Cotton (s/o John Cotton of
Nelson Co.) Sarah Scott married Wm. Snelling in Nelson Co.
on 2 Feb 1788, and Mary (Molly)Scott married Wm.Hynes, 21 Oct 1790 in Nelson County. Wm. Taylor, the Baptist Minister
married this last couple.
The Hill's were neighbors of the Scotts, thus since they
witnessed the Will, two of the three witnesses had to prove
the Will according to Kentucky Law. Kentucky was and still is called a Commonweath, and its laws are the same as Virginia which is also a Commonwealth.

General Notes: Wife -
Elizabeth O'DANIEL married William SCOTT, a friend of her brother, James.
In 1746, William was listed as owning land formerly belonging to her father, William O'DANIEL. Their marriage undoubtedly took place before that date. IMPLIED MARRIAGES OF FAIRFAX COUNTY, VA by Marty Hiatt lists the following on page 194:
SCUTT, WILLIAM and Elizabeth O'DANIEL, dau of William O'DANIEL (Drawer X ( will dtd 24 Jan 1726/27);
SCUTT to SUMMERS -1792. The dated marriage may be that of a descendant of the marriage of William and Elizabeth.
On 7 April, 1753, William and Elizabeth (O'DANIEL) SCOTT and her sister and husband, Henry and Katherine (O'DANIEL) GUNNELL, signed an indenture selling 200 acres of land to Francis SUMMERS. These two hundred acres were part of the four hundred acres granted to William O'DANIEL on the 16 March 1724, and belived to have been bequeathed to his daughters, Elizabeth and Katherine, in the his will, dated 24 January 172?. The indenture was witnessed by Lewis ELLZEY, James HAMILTON, William PAYNE, William SUMMERS, James? STEPHENS, John LANE, and James HANDY.
Elizabeth was not named in the 7 February 1755 will of her mother, Frances (O'DANIEL) GLADIN. She may have died before then. Proving nothing at this point, the marriage of a William SCOTT to Mildred BUNBURY, 18 June 1756 is recorded in St. Paul's Parish Register (Stafford- King George Counties) 1715 - 1798, p. 9, Nicklin.

General Notes: Husband -
James O'DANIEL, son of William O'DANIEL, was first known to your compiler from this entry in the History of Hancock County, Georgia, p. 138, "James DANIEL is thought to have been the James O'DANIEL who came to South Carolina about 1749 or 1750 from Virginia. In Stafford County, Virginia, there are records of the sale of land by "James O'DANIEL of the Province of South Carolina". In the deed he says this land was left to him in the will of his father, William O'DANIEL, of Accotink Run, Stafford County, Virginia. James DANIEL moved to Hancock County Georgia after the Revolution. Whether he took an active part in the War of the Revolution or was too old to do so is not known, but that he was one of those who "aided and abetted" the cause of the Americans is an established fact. His name is mentioned in the official records of South Carolina as giving aid to the Americans. He also mentions in his will, signed in 1797, his "three bounties" in Hancock County. James DANIELL's will is in the courthouse in Sparta, Georgia." Samuel TALBOTT, Jr., was born on March 17, 1756, in Fairfax County, Virginia. He married Constantine REGAN or REAGAN, daughter of Michael and Rebecca REAGAN in 1775. Constantine died, perhaps a result of childbirth, the next year. Mary O'DANIEL, daughter of John O'DANIEL and Elizabeth MOXLEY. Mary was willed 200 acres of land in Clark County, Kentucky, by her father. "Item. I give and bequeath to Mary TALBERT two Hundred Acres of land part of a Greater Track in the state of Kentucky to her & her Heirs forever." She and Samuel TALBOT moved to Kentucky and established a plantation which they called "Locust Grove." She may have been called "Polly". Stephen O'DANIEL is a son of John O'DANIEL and Martha MOXLEY. He is named as O'DANIEL in the 1798 will of his father. (Fx. C: 423); however, Stephen had shed his Celtic O'. Most records, including his will, show him as Stephen DANIEL. The 1840 census enumerates Stephen as 70-80 years old, born between 1760 and 1770. The 1850 census shows his age as 85, born about 1765. Ann "Nancy" Wise RATCLIFFE was likely named for her mother's sister Ann "Nancy" (BOWLING) WISE. Circa 1798, Ann married Stephen DANIEL, son of John O'DANIEL of Fairfax, Virginia. "DANIEL, Stephen, b. ca 1760; d. 1854, of Fairfax Co., son of John; m. Nancy Wise RATCLIFFE, dau. Richard and Louisiana (BOWLING). 1T165"
William O'DANIEL is the son of William and Frances O'DANIEL of Stafford County, Virginia. In the 1728? will of his father, it is likely William O'DANIEL received 100 of the 700 acres his father was granted. This assumption is made from known bequeaths of 100 acres to his brothers and sisters. In a 1740 survey of 300 acres for John GLADDING, this land was adjacent to that of William O'DANIEL, and would have madec William's inheritance a part of the 400 acre grant on the south side of Accotink Creek. Martha WATSON first married her cousin, Michael WATSON. They had five children. After Capt. Michael WATSON died, Martha married Jacob ODOM. "of Barnwell District, South Carolina"
Simonia TAYLOR was single in the 1860 census. She is Simonia OFFUT in the 1870 census, likely widowed by the war. 4884
Mary POPE was a daughter of Solomon POPE and Susannah DAWKINS. Mary married Burrill COOK. In his Will of 19 October 1794, Solomon wrote "I have given to my Dauter [sic] Mary COOK one Negro Named Jack one horse & Saddle one Boy 7 [&?] Furniture."

We now know James O'DANIEL was born in 1721, one of three sons of William and Frances O'DANIEL of Stafford County, Virginia. In the earliest found mention of James, he and William SCUT were listed as chain carriers on a survey of 300 acres of land for John GLADDIN on 7 June, 1740. James' surname is found as O'DANIEL, DANIEL, DANNELL, and DANIELL in Virginia records. After migrating to Craven County, South Carolina circa 1754, and later to Hancock County, Georgia circa 1790, he is found only as DANIEL or DANIELL. He used DANIELL as the surname for himself and children in his 1797 last will and testament. Many of his descendants have continued to use the DANIELL spelling, some now use DANIEL and DANIELS.
The O'DANIEL family lands were within Truro Parish. "Within this territory were the seats of the Fairfaxes, Washingtons, Masons, McCartys, Fitzhughs, Brents, Alexanders, Lewises, Mercers, Daniels, Carters, Dades, Stuarts, Corbins, Tayloes, Steptoes, Newtons, Browns, Lees, Thorntons, Balls, Smiths, and other leading families too many to mention." ("The History of Truro Parish in Virginia" by Rev. Philip Slaughter with Notes and Addenda by Rev. Edward L. Goodwin. 1907.)
John GLADDIN's survey and resurvey of land for on 3 Sept. 1741 by WARNER with chain carriers William SCUTT & James O'DANIEL and again on 8 Feb 1743 by George BYRN with chain carriers John O'DANIELL and John ANDERSON. The land was described as 300 acres on Accotink Run at the Beaverdam, adjacent to Ravensworth, WATTS and HARRISON, Mr. MASON, Wm O'DANIEL and Michael ASHFORD, Major John FITZHUGH, and John WARNER. Land plants show this 300 acres to be on Accotink at the mouth of and across O'Daniel's Branch from William O'DANIEL's 1724 land grant. (Abstracts of Virginia's Northern Neck Warrents and Surveys 1710-1780, Vol III-IV, p. 109, 110)
On February 8, 1743, James O'DANIEL and his brother, John, were named as chain bearers for a survey of land for his stepfather John GLADDIN on land adjoining that of their deceased father William O'DANIEL (the 400 acres on the west bank of O'Daniels Branch and Accotink Creek), et al, on Accotink Run, Fairfax County, Virginia. John GLADDIN married William's widow, Frances.
The first election for a burgess was held in Fairfax County in July, 1744. Among the freeholders of Fairfax who voted in this election and supported a neighbor, Captain Lawrence WASHINGTON, were William BOWLING, Thomas MOXLEY, James DANIEL [O'DANIEL], William GUNNELL, William GUNNELL, Jr., and Henry GUNNELL. John HURST, who married Catherine O'DANIEL, voted for Captain Lewis ELZEY. During the preceding twenty-five years, these "well-to-do" families had migrated up the Potomac Valley from older Northern Neck settlements and were now living on the Fairfax County streams of Accotink, Sugarland, Difficult Run and Goose Creek. (Fairfax Harrison, Tyler's Quarterly.)
James appears in the records of the Fairfax County Court Order/Minutes from May 1749 to January 1757.
Fairfax Court records abstracts May 17, 1749 show James DANIEL as a plaintiff in a case of trespass, assault and battery against William PAYNE, Jr., and on April 2, 1750 awarded 10.0.0 pounds sterling and costs in the case. Edward WASHINGTON, Frances EMMET, John HUNTER, and Elizabeth BROADWATER were paid as witnesses providing evidence against William PAYNE.
James is listed as a juror in four cases during court proceedings dated 3 April 1750: Carlyle Gent. vs Remy; Carlyle Gent. vs Alexander Gent.; Carlyle Gent. vs Alexander Gent.; and Alexander Gent. vs English, Harland Brewster. In the same year, James sued William PAYNE, Jr. and was himself sued by George JOHNSTON.
In 1752, James was ordered to pay Truro Parish a judgment of 10 shillings; was ordered to give a deposition in another case; and was listed in the inventory and sale of the possessions of Captain George HARRISON, paying £4.18.2 as his balance on Harrison's book.
By 1753, however, life was becoming decidedly more complicated (in Virginia) as British and French rivalry over the Ohio Valley and Virginia's western claims fueled the forthcoming confrontation of the French and Indian War (1755-1763). Likely one of the reasons for numerous families from Virginia moving to South Carolina in the 1750s, but it wasn't much more peaceful there.
The earliest record of James DANIEL being in South Carolina deed may be this: Book O-O, p 697: "10 Jan 1754 L & R - "James (his mark) WESTON, planter, & Elizabeth his wife, to Thomas HOWELL, planter, both of Craven Co., for £ 200 currency, 100 a. on N side Congaree River, bounding SW & NW on vacant land; & on 'old lines' & on Vinson SIMMONS; bounding NE & SE on vacant land; as by grant from Gov. James GLEN in Council Chamber 8 Aug. 1753. Witnesses: James DANIEL, Charles STROTHER, John ALYNCK (MYRICK?). Before Stephen CREEL, J. P. William HOPTON, Register." (South Carolina Deed Abstracts, 1719-1772 Vol. II, 1740-1755, Books V-P-P, p. 335, abstracted by Clara A. Langley)
Less than three months later, James requests a grant of 200 acres for himself, a wife, and two children. Two entries in "Petitions For Land From The South Carolina Council Journals, Vol. 4, 1754-1756" by Brent H. Holcomb record the outcome of his request. The first: Meeting of Tuesday A.M., 2 April, 1754 - The Petition of James DANIEL humbly setting forth: That the Petitioner hath a wife and two Children for whom nor yet for himself has any warrant been granted and being willing to Cultivate and Improve some of his majesty's vacant Land, he prays to lay out 200 acres of Land on Broad River or any of the waters of Santee so that he may have a Grant for the same, Charles Town, the 2d of April, 1754. James DANIEL. The prayer thereof was granted. Twenty-one months later, a second entry shows that James had not fulfilled the requirements to obtain the grant. His legal problems in Fairfax, Virginia in 1755, noted above, may have been partly responsible for this failure, causing him to be absent from South Carolina. James then requested an extension of time to meet the land grant requirements: Meeting of Tuesday A.M. 6 January, 1756 - The Petition of James DANIEL humbly setting forth that he had obtained his Excellency's Warrant dated 2d of April, 1754 for the survey of 200 acres of Land on Broad River or the waters of Santee but through mistake of the Petitioner the time for passing it into a Grant was elapsed as would appear from the Warrant herewith produced, prayed to prolong the said Warrant six months from this Date, and that he might have a Grant for the same. Dated December the 18th, 1755. Ja's DANIEL . The prayere thereof was granted.
SC Archives: Series Number: S213197 Box: 0001 Item: 00288 ignore: 00 Date: 1757/11/04 Description: DANIEL, James, Unrecorded plat for Land Not Granted, 200 Acres near Cedar Creek, Santee River, Surveyed by John HAMELTON. Names Indexed: DANIEL, James/HAMELTON, John/MCDANIEL, Walter/Locations: Santee River/Cedar Creek.
In January, 1755, William PAYNE, Jr. won a suit against James DANIEL, who was required to sell "1 bed & furniture, 1 chest of drawers, 1 writing desk of Daniel's" and render the proceeds to the plaintiff to satisfy the judgment and costs. Payment was 4 pounds, 12 shillings, 2 pence. James' mother, Frances O'DANIEL GLADIN, bequeathed, in her will, dated 7 February 1755, a bed, chest and writing desk to James. This was most likely her effort to replace the items lost as a result of William PAYNE, Jr.'s suit against him. In Frances' will, she names hers sons as "James DANNELL, William DANNELL, and John O'DANNELL. If there was a rift between brothers as thought, the way the sons were named in the will may be indicative of its having begun before 1755.
James DANIEL's plat for 400 acres, in the low grounds of the Congaree River, bounded SW by same, and all other sides vacant was surveyed by John PEARSON on 13 September 1756. The plat is redated for Janes DANIEL on 5 September 1758 and "Recertified for Jas RANDOLS on 25 December 1758. [View plat at: http://www.archivesindex.sc.gov/onlinearchives/Thumbnails.aspx?recordId=97236] Note: John PEARSON's granddaughter, Martha Ann COOK, would marry James DANIELL's son, Levi, in 1796.
On March 17, 1757 in Fairfax County, Virginia, James DANIEL was a plaintiff vs John (Sampson lined out) TRAMMELL's executors in chancery court. Ezekial Hickman was called as a witness.
In 1757, the year his mother died, James cut his final ties to Fairfax County when he sold his 100 acres of land bequeathed by his father. "By deed dated August 16, 1757, (Fairfax Liber D, 458) his son James O'DANIEL of the Province of South Carolina Conveys to the Rev. Charles GREEN, of Truro Parish, 100 acres left to him by the last will and testament of his father, William O'DANIEL, being the lower part of a tract of land granted by the Proprietors of the Northern Neck to the said William O'DANIEL by deed dated April 19, 1717, for 300 acres." (Tyler's Quarterly Historical and Genealogy Magazine, Volume I, pages 164-165). Although identified in the indenture of sale as James O'DANIEL, he is named on each of four items completing the sale as "James DANIELL". The sale price of the land was fifteen pounds sterling. Witnesses were Thomas WREN, Peter TURLEY, and Jeremiah HAMPTON. Included with the sale, James signed a bond of thirty pounds with William SCOTT to save Charles GREEN harmless from any claim of dowers of his mother or any wife James may have. This bond proved that James' mother was still alive at the time of the sale. This indenture is the oldest known use of James' surname as DANIELL, not considering his mother's 1755 Will naming him as James DANNELL. Although his name is often found as DANIEL in records of the time, James named himself and members of his family as DANIELL when listing his children in his Bible and in his will of 1797.
As an aside, Rev. Charles GREEN and Margaret his wife later sold James' 100 acres to Bryan FAIRFAX for £25, minus a small meadow to remain in possession of GREEN during his residence on Glebe Land. (Fx. Deeds E:l. 8 June 1761). Bryan FAIRFAX leased to Margaret GREEN, widow of Charles GREEN, for her lifetime, 197 acres between Accotink and Long Branch where Bryan FAIRFAX lately dwelt, purchased from Charles GREEN in 1761 and known as Green Hill. Daniel McCARTY handled the lease and the token rent was 1 peppercorn. (Fx. Deeds G:2~. 14 September 1766)
There is a question about what happened to James O'DANIEL's brother, William. Both James and William are absent from Virginia records after 1757. We believe William O'DANIEL who was in Craven County, South Carolina by 1754 is the brother of James and John of Fairfax County, Virginia. John O'DANIEL's son, William O'DANIEL (DANIEL) who settled in Edgefield County and two of his sons were closely associated with Josiah DANIEL, a son of William O'DANIEL of Kershaw County. James and William migrated to South Carolina about the same time (1754) and received land grants not far from each other. Both James and William conducted legal affairs in Fairfax County, Virginia in 1757, and are absent from Virginia records after that year.
James likely built his home on the 200 acres near Cedar Creek on the Santee River. He begins to buy land also on another Cedar Creek on the Broad, near Little River, accumulating several hundred acres there. This is where he was living according to the 1790 census of Camden District, Fairfield County, South Carolina. This census shows he has in his household an unidentified male under 16, a female (wife, Nancy HARDWICK), and 42 slaves. He also had a 500 acre farm, purchased from Moses KIRKLAND in 1774, which was located on Indian Creek, Clouds Creek, and the Saluda River in Ninety Six District. James appears in some early 1750's property records in the Congaree River area and also had property on the Congaree River which he bequeathed to his son, Jose, in 1798.
James DANIELL and his family were indeed pioneers, attested to by Edwin L. Green in "A History of Richland County, South Carolina" when he wrote: "In the year 1757 John PEARSON was captain of the company in the Congaree Fork, in which were 125 privates, eight alarm men, with forty slaves, whose duty it was to act as pioneers. The territory represented in this company included the present Richland County. Only a few hundred people were then living in the fork of the Congaree and Wateree." The names of the officers and privates in Captain PEARSON's company have not been preserved. Because James, 36 years old in 1757, was John PEARSON's neighbor, and because James' son, Levi, married John PEARSON's granddaughter, Martha Pearson COOK, it is reasonable to believe James was part of Pearson's company.
The 1750s and 60s, the Upcountry of South Carolina was a dangerous place to take up land. As early as 1753 the Assembly in Charlestown put a huge bounty (100 pounds, later 50 pounds) on the heads of Northern Indians, Senecas, Mohawks, and other Iroquois tribes - who moved up and down the Appalachians raiding both white and Indian settlements.. The native Chickasaw and Cherokee Indians presented numerous problems for the new white settlers as well. Conocautee (Old Hop) and other chiefs of the Cherokee nation signed the Saluda Old Town Treaty July 2, 1755 with Gov. James Glen of South Carolina. According to Historian Roy Vandergrift of Saluda, South Carolina, this treaty ceded a large part of what became Ninety Six District, which included all or large parts of the present day Spartanburg, Cherokee west of the Broad River, Union, Newberry, Laurens, Greenwood, Abbeville, McCormick, Edgefield, Saluda and a small part of Aiken counties. War with the Cherokees broke out in 1758. The Long Canes massacre occurred in 1760. In December 1761, the Cherokees and colonial government in South Carolina signed another treaty, setting the Indian Territory boundary forty miles from the Indian town of Keowee, as proposed by the Cherokees, a straight line from the Savannah River where the Anderson County-Abbeville County line is today up to the Reedy River and thence a straight line northward to Tryon Mountain in North Carolina. This boundary was surveyed in 1766 and is drawn on a map in Meriwether's Expansion of South Carolina, p 212. This treaty led to a large influx of settlers into the Upcountry of South Carolina, more than six years after James and his brother William received their land grants.
James O'DANIEL's first wife's name is not yet discovered. For James to have the 2 children he claimed on his 2 April 1754 petition for a South Carolina land grant their marriage would have occurred before 1751.
NOTE: James O'DANIEL did not marry Theodosia Congers in Fairfax County, Virginia on October 19, 1755 as Fairfax Harrison wrote in Tyler's Quarterly and he did not have a son, William Scott, by her in 1756. Theodosia CONYERS, daughter of Captain John CONYERS or CONNERS, is proven to be the wife of James ODUNEAL (O'DENEALE/DENEALE) of Fairfax County, Virginia. See N. B. below for details. RLD]
Was James DANIELL's first wife named Ann, Elizabeth, or another? Two items are of interest here:
1. James' Bible is now said to be in the University of Georgia Library, part of an donation by the James BARROW family. But repeated efforts to find the Bible there and in internet lookup requests, library specialists have not been able to locate it. The Historical Collections of the Georgia Chapters Daughters of the American Revolution, Volume IV, page 12, presents a transcript of the Bible of James DANIEL said to be in possession of Mrs. D. F. Barrow, Athens. "James DANIEL was the first husband of Mrs. James Barrow, wife of James Barrow of Milledgeville, Ga. BIRTHS: Children of James DANIEL and wife Ann: Jesse DANIEL .....12-2-1754; Sarah DANIEL ......5-4-1756; Jose DANIEL ......12-6-1757; Levi DANIEL ......12-21-1759; Martha DANIEL .. 1-22-1762; Mary DANIEL ......2-20-1765" (Other transcriptions show DANIELL. These children were probably born in South Carolina, but it is possible that Jesse, Sarah, and the two unknown children claimed in April 1754 may have been born in Virginia.)
CAUTION: Before believing "Ann" was the mother of James' children consider that "Ann" may refer to Nancy HARDWICK, the stepmother, born 6 Jan 1758. She was too young to be the mother of these children, but was James's wife as known to the BARROW family of Hancock County, Georgia. However, all known records of Nancy HARDWICK list her as Nancy, not Ann. None of James' known daughters were named Ann or Nancy, but circumstantial evidence suggests that the Ann DANIEL, born 1753, married to Absalom EILAND may be one of the two children James claimed in his 1754 petition for land in South Carolina. The questions remain; "Ann" may be correct.
2. In a MITCHELL Family folder donated to the Archives of Arizona, a section therein on James DANIELL's family a short descendant chart provides that James' wife was named Elizabeth, but no other document yet corroborates this. Followup on this MITCHELL information has not been fruitful. (James' granddaughter, Catherine B. DANIELL, daughter of Levi, married Julius Caesar Bonaparte MITCHELL on 4 May 1817 in Hancock County, Georgia.)
The History of Hancock County, Georgia, page 138, also refers to an old Bible "which originally belonged to James DANIELL." It does not name James or Ann but lists: Jesse b. December 2, 1754; Sarah, b. May 4, 1756; Jose, b. December 6, 1757; Levi, b. December 21, 1759; Martha, b. January 22, 1762; Mary, b. February 20, 1765. Who was their mother? When and where did she die?
Between 1779 and 1787 James married Nancy HARDWICK, his second wife and widow, named in his will of 1797. No documentation proves James and Nancy had children. Nancy was born January 6, 1758 and was younger than five of James' children, counting the two claimed in the 1754 petition.
Previously, an abstract from Hancock County Deed Book C, page 223, summarized a 22 November 1798 deed of gift of a Negro girl "Jinny" from Nancy DANIELL to "my son John Daniell..." suggesting that James and Nancy had a son; the abstract is in error.
On 28 December 2008, Alexis Spiritas provided a full trascription of Nancy's 22 November 1798 "Deed of Gift" which shows the gift to be to "James DANIELL, Infant..." NOT to "my son, John DANIELL..." "James DANIELL, Infant" is most likely James Levi, the four year old son of Levi DANIELL, Nancy's stepson.
"To all people to whom these presents shall come. I, Nancy Daniell do send Greetings knowing that the said Nancy Daniell of the State of Georgia and County of Hancock for and in consideration of the Love, good will, and affection which I have and bear towards James Daniell, Infant of the State and County aforesaid, have given and granted and by these Presents do freely give and Grant unto the said James Daniell, his heirs, Executors or administrators a Negro girl named Jinny and her increase. But the condition of the above Deed of Gift is such that it is not my intention for the said James Daniell to be possessed with the above mentioned Negro Jinny nor her increase until my Death. In witness whereof I have hereunto put my hand and seal this twenty second day of November one thousand seven hundred and ninety eight.

DISCUSSION: Why did James not have offspring named James, William, Frances, or John, after himself, his father, mother, or brothers? Notice also the six year gap between the birth of Levi and his sister, Mary, and the two "missing" children he claimed in 1754.
It is reasonable to think James had a son named for himself and a daughter named for his wife. James may have had at least nine children, but records do not yet prove who they are. James' petition for land grant in April 1754 in South Carolina, claims that he has a wife and two children, both would be older than the six named in his Bible. (Makes 8.) A grandson, Jesse Daniell AUSTON, son of "Betty AUSTON" is named in his will, but the Bible does not name a daughter Elizabeth or Betty. (Makes 9, unless Betty is a nickname for Martha.) James' widow is known, but she, Nancy HARDWICK, is too young to be the mother of the six children in the Bible. She is named in the LW&T of James' son, Levi, as his step-mother.
In James' LW&T, he names two sons, Jose and Levi, and two sons-in-law, James TAYLOR, husband of Sarah (deceased, not named in the will), and (Dr.) Robert Handrick (HENDRICK), husband of Mary (assumed deceased, not named in the will). Jesse is said to have been killed "by Indians or the British" and Martha is known only from her birth recorded the Bible.
Some descendants of Absalom and Ann EILAND of South Carolina contend that Absalom's wife was Ann DANIEL, born 1753 in either Fairfield County, South Carolina or Johnston County, North Carolina, the daughter of James DANIEL/LL and Ann SANKEY. Absalom is named in South Carolina land records as early as 1770. His father, George EILAND, had a land grant on Nobles Creek (later called Horns Creek) off Stevens Creek in Granville County, later part of Edgefield County by 1771. Some state that Absalom and Ann were married in 1775 in Fairfield County, South Carolina; others say Johnston County, North Carolina. Absalom is named in the "The Jury List of South Carolina, 1778-1779", page 70, for Orangeburg County on the List of Petit Jurors between the north and south forks of the Edisto River. Absolom and family migrated from South Carolina to Greene County (later Hancock and Baldwin counties), and lastly to Jones County, Georgia. Absalom EILAND and wife Ann sold 287 acres of land in Greene County, Georgia to "James DANIELL of Fairfield County, South Carolina" in 1787, witnessed by Levi DANIELL, James' son. About 1791 Absalom and Ann named a son Levi Daniel EILAND. No source records prove our James DANIELL married an Ann SANKEY or that he had a daughter named Ann. However, in 1754, James DANIEL did petition for a grant of 200 acres on the Broad or Santee (Congaree) Rivers for himself, his wife and two children, supporting the contention that James was married before 1750 and had two children younger than those named in his Bible record. Two questions from this: Was an Ann SANKEY the wife claimed in 1754 and mentioned in the D.A.R. record above? Was Ann Daniel EILAND one of those two children? Additionally, EILAND family lore also claims that Nancy, the widow of James DANIELL, who remarried to James BARROW and died in Milledgeville, Baldwin County, Georgia on 18 January 1814 was James' first wife, Ann SANKEY, but THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE. Nancy, daughter of William HARDWICK and Kessiah Cynthia PARKER. was the second wife of James DANIELL.
On May 11, 1767, as listed in "Abstracts of the Wills of the State of South Carolina 1760-1784" compiled by Caroline Moore:
James DANIEL witnessed the will of Jesse GOODWYN. He appears in the will along with Isaac RAIFORD, Philip PEARSON, and many GOODWYNs. Each of these families were related to James' descendants through the marriages of his children.
On May 18, 1770, James Daniel is named on a plat of 40 acres surveyed by John CALDWELL for James JOHNSON in Craven County, on the waters of Little River. In addition to James, neighbors are Samuel FORD, Daniel PITTS and Charles PITTS. This plat was reordered to William GILLILAND on 29 September 1772.

"James DANIELL's plantation on the Saluda River was an investment begun in 1774 in Ninety Six District, probably with the lease and release purchase of 500 acres from Moses KIRKLAND, although the deed is not clear. Until now I had no evidence that he ever lived on it. The Clouds is a creek that empties into the Saluda River about 30 miles west of Columbia. It is now all in Saluda County. I assume that Indian Creek is a small unmarked creek that joins it just before in empties into the Saluda River. This land is flooded today by the damming of the Saluda to form Lake Murray. It is difficult to determine just where this property is on current maps. To be in Ninety Six District and still be close to the homestead, it has to be in eastern Saluda County and flooded by Lake Murray, a lake formed by the damming of the Saluda. The creeks, Indian and Clouds, are not on current maps (now on the "SC Gazetteer" by Delorme)." (Tuck Wilson)

On 26 May 1784 James DANIEL received 400A on a warrant for land on Alligator Creek in now Fairfield County, bordering, among others, on William DANIEL's land. The following day William DANIEL exercised a warrant for 210A bordering some of his land and James DANIEL's land. Both may be found in some of the public records, such as those for inquests and other court duties, in the records of Fairfield County, South Carolina. James later bequeathed this tract of land on Alligator Creek to his son-in-law Dr. Robert HANDRICK, husband of his daughter Mary. This William DANIEL is most likely James' nephew, the husband of Lucretia BELL and son of John O'DANIEL of Fairfax County, Virginia.

(Tuck Wilson)
On page 13 of "Camden District, S. C. Wills and Administrations, 1781-1787" by Holcomb and Parker, three men, James DANIEL, William DANIEL, and Lewis POPE, are listed as appraisers of the estate of Elizabeth CHAPELL (apt 15, pkg 476). Her will was proved 27 Oct 1782. Purchasers at the sale of property include both William DANIEL and John COOK. This record showing James and William DANIEL together may the only document yet found that does. This William DANIEL is likely William O'DANIEL/DANIEL (1720?-1796), James' brother, but may be his nephew William, husband of Lucretia BELL. Both the POPE and COOK families were associated through marriages with James DANIELL's family. William was later of Kershaw County, and James of Fairfield and Richland County, South Carolina. William, James' nephew, was of Edgefield County.

In a letter, dated October 27, 1927, to Mrs. Louisa Floyd Wilson of Macon, Georgia from the South Carolina Historical Commission, Mr. A. S. Salley, Jr. states that there is a record of pay to James DANIELL for supplies furnished to the Continental Army. "In the volume marked on the enclosed list of publications of this Commission you will find a record of pay issued to James DANIEL for supplies furnished during the Revolutionary War. Women are joining the Society on these records of supplies furnished. As a general rule, where there is a record of pay issued for supplies furnished by a certain man and no record of pay issued to him for services, it is an indication that he was above militia age (45)." From Book Q, No. 444 - "Issued to Mr. James DANIELL for three hundred thirty-eight pounds, sixteen shillings, eleven pence and half penny sterling, for sundries for Continental and Militia use and 790 bushels of corn for state troops as per accounts audited. Principal - £338-16-11½, Annual Interest £23-13-4." In addition, there is an audited account on microfilm at the South Carolina Dept. of Archives and History (series #S108092, Reel 0030, Frame 00217) of other supplies furnished to the Continental Army, 772 lbs. wheat flour and 15 bushels of oats. There is a Militia Captain, James DANIELS, listed in Bobby Gilmer Moss' "Roster of South Carolina Patriots in the American Revolution" on page 231. Most likely, this is not James DANIELL who, at age 55 in 1776, was above militia age. (Tuck Wilson)

On 6 September 1784, James Daniel is listed on a plat for 191 acres for Robert LYELE [sic] on the Congaree River in Camden District. Others indexed, likely James' neighbors, are Henry BROWN, John GEE, Jacob GEIGER, John HOPKINS, John George KAPPY, Drury WYCHE, and Philip PEARSON, the surveyor. [SC Archives:Series: S213190 Volume: 0009 Page: 00132Item: 002]
A "Daniel, James" is on "The Harvey List" (Georgia's roster of the Revolution, Lucian Lamar Knight, Atlanta, Ga., Index Print. Co., 1920, p. 411, also page 412)
"Soldiers And Patriots Of Georgia" lists "DANIELS, James[ PS PS SC ]1741 VA 1798 GA Nancy ?" and refers to James DANIELL who died in Hancock County before 5 March 1798; however, James was born in 1721, determined from his age at death, 77, in 1798. (http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ga/topic/military/argeorgia/pat_sol.htm)
In James DANIELL's Will, he twice refers to "three bounties." Identifying them is problematic. The "Index to the Headright and Bounty Grants of Georgia 1756-1909" by Rev. Silas Emmett Lucas, Jr., lists the following, several of which may be James' bounties:
James DANIELY Washington County Grant Book GGG, p. 113, 287.5 acres 1785
James DANIELY Washington County Grant Book GGG, p. 58.72 575 acres 1785
James DANIELY Washington County Grant Book GGG, p. 446 575 acres 1785
James DANIEL Washington County Grant Book LLL p. 250 200 acres 1786
James DANIELLY Washington County Grant Book OOO p. 187 287.5 acres 1787
[James DANIELLY, Book OOO, is part of the DANLEY line according to Lois Danley of Panama City, Florida.] Hancock County was created from parts of Greene and Washington Counties in 1793. James' properties were then in Hancock County, Georgia. He had acquired several tracts of land in Hancock, bequeathed in his Will.
Other possible lands:
"DANNELLY, James. 287 1/2 acres, Washington Co., bounded S. vacant and Oconee river, other sides vacant, survey 137, Aug 16, 1784. Warrent 137, p. 47." (Georgia's roster of the Revolution, Lucian Lamar Knight, Atlanta, Ga., Index Print. Co., 1920, p. 230)

The earliest record found of James DANIELL buying property in Georgia comes from abstracts of Greene County, Georgia records: 16 Jan 1787 deed to James DANIEL of Fairfield County, South Carolina land in Washington County. Less than four months later, on 2 May 1787 a deed recorded in Greene County, Georgia, Deed Book 1, p. 34, shows that Absolom EILAND and his wife Ann of Washington County sold 287 and one half acres "on waters of Rocky and Island Creek in Green County" to "James DANIELL of Fairfield County, South Carolina". The land was "bounded S by John PERKINS, N by John RAGAN's and John EILAND and on all other sides vacant, granted the said John SAPP 13 Oct 1785". The land was sold "in consideration of three negroes". This latter deed was witnessed by James' son Levi DANIELL and George HARDWICK, James' brother-in-law. This Greene County record may be for this property: "1789 Tax Rolls Georgia Greene DANIEL, James GREENE GILBERT 1789 29." The tract was a bounty land grant to Absolom EILAND :"EILAND, ABSOLEM. 287 1/2 acres, Washington Co., bounded E. Wright, other sides vacant, survey 218. June 28, 1785, p. 112."

(Posted to Rootsweb DANIEL-L by Jack V. Butler, November 10, 2002, Subject: Re: [DANIEL-L] Augusta Chronicle) James DANIELL and his son Levi, because of the above deed from Absalom EILAND, appear to be two of the names. Charles, Eustace, Thomas, and William DANIELL named here are not known to be part of James and Levi DANIELL's family. This interesting collection of names contains four who may all be part of the James DANIELL family from Richland and Fairfield counties, South Carolina. James' children include Levi DANIELL, known to own land there, and Mary DANIELL who in 1795 married Robert HENDRICK in Columbia. William DANIEL(LL?), RS-SC, of Edgefield, South Carolina was James' nephew, and may have had RW bounty land adjacent his Uncle James and cousin Levi. The comments on William and Mary DANIELL are speculative.
In 1790 James DANIEL witnessed a South Carolina deed for Arthur WATSON on Cloud's Creek.

The 1790 census of Fairfield County, South Carolina, was not completed until as late as 1793. It lists James DANIEL with one male over 16, himself, one male under 16, not identified*, wife Nancy, and 42 slaves. [Series: M637 Roll: 11 Page: 149]
*James is not known to have had a son born later than 1769. Perhaps this is a grandnephew, a son of William and Lucretia Bell DANIEL of Edgefield County?
James moved his family to Island Creek in Hancock County, Georgia after the 1790. He kept a home near Columbia, Richland County, South Carolina, later bequeathing it to his son, Jose DANIELL as well as various other plantations or tracts in South Carolina.
On 6 September 1791, James DANIEL is named on a plat for 430 acres on branches of Clouds Creek, Little Saluda River, 96 District. sold to Benjamin ARRINGTON, originally surveyed by William WRIGHT for Thomas KIRKLIN [KIRKLAND]. In addition to James listed are John HITSON, James NUMAN, and Arthur WATSON. [SC Archives: Series: S213190, Volume: 0027 Page: 00296 Item: 001]
SCMAR, Vol. XVI, Summer 1988, No. 3, p.170: Page 188 - 27 July 1792 - James HARDAGE of Fairfield Co., deed of gift (at his death) of a negro boy named Elish and a parcel of land on Dutchmans Creek joining POWER's (?) land and the fork of said creek, mentions the original plat. [Name of recipient omitted] Wit: James DANIEL. 31 May 1793 James DANIEL proved the deed of gift from James HARDAGE to William HARDAGE before S. W. YONGUE, J.P. "Memorialized 1st June 1793." [HARDAGE is another spelling of HARDWICK. James was married to William's daughter Nancy.]
An October 30, 1794 deed record for Benjamin BRASWELL shows the sale of 100 acres of land in Hancock County, located on Rocky Creek, adjacent Stephen JOHNSON, Mary PARKER, and James DANIELS. Another deed to Philip COOK on July 4, 1794 for 287.5 acres on Rocky Creek also names John COOK, Sr. and John COOK, Jr., all part of the family of Martha Pearson COOK who later married Levi DANIELL, James' son who also came to Hancock County from South Carolina.
The 1794 Tax Roll for Hancock County, Georgia, page 52, lists James DANIEL, 47 slaves, 862 1/2 acres on Island Creek, tax paid $17.07, and 300 acres at Oconey Swamp in Washington County tax paid $3.55 and a quarter cent. Levi was listed beside his father, one slave, no land and taxed 62 and 1/2 cents. Separately, Levi is named on page 69, with 169 acres adjoining John RAGAN on Island creek. His tax was 1 pound, 18 shillings, 4 pence. Ten years earlier this creek was listed as EILAND creek.
James and Nancy are named on the roster of the Island Creek Baptist Church as James DANIELL, member number 17, and Nancy DANIELL, member number 18. Listed on the same page are William DISMUKE, member number 29, Finney DISMUKE, member number 30, and Martha DISMUKE, member number 31. (Island Creek Baptist Church, Reel 303, Tarver Libary, Mercer University, Macon, Georgia; page copy received from Jerry McGinty.)
James died before 5 May 1798 when his Will was proven. His grave site cannot be visited. According to story, this land was purchased by an individual who, in the 1930's or 1940's, bulldozed everything, including the graves. The Cemeteries of Hancock County website lists the "James Daniel Gravesite" and indicates one burial there:

Susan Herrington, from Friends of Hancock County, Georgia Cemeteries, replying to a question about any additional information on Kimbrough's list, wrote: "Information about the gravesite comes from a cemetery listing done by Effie Kimbrough as part of a WPA project. In November 1942 when making what she called an "index" (actually a table of contents) to the cemetery listing, Lora West (who may or may not be related to Tallulah West) called the cemetery, #18. Daniell (with 2 l's) p.6. Whether she had seen the cemetery or had other personal knowledge concerning the family is unknown."

The Last Will and Testament of James DANIELL is recorded in Hancock County Will Book A, starting on page 284. This transcript is as read by Robert Louis Daniell from photocopies of the original provided by David Leon "Tuck" Wilson III and Teresa Lee Griffis. To the extent possible, original spellings were kept. Dashed lines were used to finish lines to the edge of the paper. Surname capitalization was added.

James' will was proven March 5, 1798 by testemony of the three witnesses. Pages 287-289: Inventory & appraisement of est. of James DANIELL, April 2, 3, & 4, 1798.
Accounts of James DANIELL, late of Hancock Co. dec'd Inventory and appraisal of part of the Estate as shown to us by Levi DANIEL and Wm. HARDWICK Exors. Total 254.20. James DANIELL's estate records (Hancock Will book AA, page 36-39) indicate he raised, among other things indigo. He also had book accounts of people owing him small amounts of money, indicating he might have had a store. There was also a note in hand on his son-in-law, James TAYLOR for 1036.94. His wife Nancy and son Levi inherited these notes, which became complicated when Levi and Jose died shortly afterward. Jose DANIELL's estate must have owed money to James TAYLOR for in 1801, James TAYLOR (a son-in-law of James DANIELL) and Robert HOWELL, adm. of Jose DANIELL's estate, hired Robert HENDRICK (a son-in-law of James DANIELL) to sue the estate of Levi DANIELL to recover that part of James DANIELL's estate that was now part of Levi DANIELL's estate that rightfully belonged to Jose DANIELL's estate. See Hancock county Deed Book D, page 543. (Tuck Wilson)
When Levi DANIELL died in 1800, that left William HARDWICK, Jr., as the sole executor of James' estate. His Executorship was unsuccessfully challenged in 1816 by John DANIEL, second husband of Martha Pearson COOK, Levi's widow, and guardian of Levi's three children. In 1824, it was again challenged, this time successfully, by James L. DANIELL, Levi's only son.
After James' death, Nancy married James BARROW, who had served in the North Carolina Continental Army, and moved to Milledgeville, Georgia. James BARROW had no children by Nancy DANIELL, who was 44 years old when they married. After Nancy died in Milledgeville in 1814, James BARROW married Patience CRENSHAW, and had two children by her. His daughter, Patience BARROW married William McKINLEY. James BARROW died in 1828 in Baldwin County, Georgia. Apparently, Nancy DANIELL had kept James' Bible. It later came into the possession of Mrs. D. F. BARROW of Athens, Georgia and is said to have been donated to the University of Georgia as part of the BARROW family collection. In January 2006, efforts to locate James' Bible in the Hargrett Library of the University of Georgia were unsuccessful.
Strange but true: Beth Mitchell in her book Beginning at a White Oak... states that Accotinck Creek, James O'DANIEL's boyhood waterway in Virginia, was also called "Island Creek." James later lived and died on "Island Creek" in Hancock County, Georgia.
(Compiled from research by David Leon "Tuck" Wilson III, Teresa Griffis, and Robert Louis Daniell.)
N.B.: James O'DANIEL did not marry Theodosian CONGERS. James DENEALE (ODUNEAL) married Theodosia CONYERS.
In TYLER 'S QUARTERLY HISTORICAL and GENEALOGICAL MAGAZINE:, Volume 1, page 165, Fairfax Harrison wrote: "It seems probable that this James O'DANIEL is the James DANIEL who voted at the Fairfax ( Co. , Virginia ) election in 1744, and who, before he migrated to South Carolina , married, October 19, 1755, Theodosian CONGERS, and in the following year had a son, William Scott O'DANIEL." Harrison cites Boogher's Overwharton Parish Register (1899), 136, as a reference. The marriage date, October 19, 1755 , and the birth date of William Scott O'DANIEL, August 10, 1756 conflict with birth dates for the first three of the children listed in James O'DANIEL's Bible. Marriages of Some Virginia Residents 1607 - 1800, Series I, Volume 5, page 126, by Dorothy Ford Wulfeck, also lists the marriage of James O'DANIEL to Theodosian CONGERS, October 19, 1755 , citing Tyler's as the source. However, on the same page of Wulfeck's work, immediately above the O'DANIEL name are two other marriages, under the name "O'DUNEAL", " Elizabeth m. William THORNBERRY" (undated) and "James m. 19 Oct., 1755, Theodosian CONGERS. OPR.", indicating Overwharton Parish Register.
The Register of Overwharton Parish, Stafford Co., Virginia 1723-1758 and Sundry Historical and Genealogical Notes, compiled and published by George Harrison Sanford King, Fellow, American Society of Genealogists, Fredericksburg, Virginia, dated 1961, contains these entries:

"Married: CONYERS, Anne Holland and Edward PAYNE, February 27, 1750";
"Married: CONYERS, Theodosia and James ODUNEAL, October 19, 1755."
Additional research found the DENEALE/DENEAL family in Stafford County, Virginia during the same period as the O'DANIEL family. Beginning at a White Oak... by Beth Mitchell 1977, page 278, number 54, indicates that Theodosia inherited 300 acres of land on Popeshead Creek from her father, "married James DENEAL. DENEAL, or DENEALE, found surplus of 252 acres and received a Northern Neck grant for 552 acres (NN I:210)". This grant basically combined Theodosia's 300 acres with the surplus found by James. It was bounded by land of Edward PAYNE, Lewis ELLSEY, Thomas FORD, William KINCHELOE, and Joseph POLLARD. As coincidence would have it, the name G. DENEALE appears as "Test G DENEALE", after entries on motions by Nancy O'DANIEL, Administrix of the will of James' brother, John O'DANIEL in 1801. (Ann "Nancy" O'DANIEL was the daughter of John McINTOUSH. "G. DENEALE" was the brother of James DENEALE who married Theodosia CONYERS, and was the First Clerk of Fairfax County at this time and recorded the motions mentioned.)
Two documents, graciously provided by Don DENEAL of St. Louis, Missouri, are key to proving that James O'DANIEL did not marry Theodosia CONGERS/CONYERS. They are copies of the original Northern Neck Grant I:210 to James DENEAL of Fairfax County, (Virginia) 552 acres on 1 July 1772, and the will of James C. DENEALE, dated the twentieth day of July 1805.
In part, the NN Grant reads: "The Right Honourable Thomas Lord Fairfax Baron of Cameron in that Part of Great Britain called Scotland Proprietor of the Northern Neck of Virginia....Whereas James DENEAL of Fairfax County....& that the said David WAUGH conveyed the same to Capt Henry CONNER who by his last Will & Testament....to his Daughter Ann HOLLAND & the residue more or less to his Daughter Theodosia who marrying the said James DENEAL the Property of the said Residue is hereby vested in him....Given at my Office in Frederick County under my Hand & Seal Dated this First Day of July 1772. Fairfax ts: Tho. ___ Martan(?)" This grant documents both that Theodosian CONGERS was indeed Theodosia CONYERS, the daughter of Captain Henry CONYERS(CONNER) of Stafford County, and verifies her marriage to James DENEAL. Additional research proved that Theodosia was his fourth daughter, and third child by his second wife, Jennette PATTERSON(PATTISON).
The Last Will and Testament of James C. DENEALE reads in part, "In the name of God, I James C. DENEALE in the County of Fairfax, State of Virginia....to my beloved wife Priscilla DENEALE the tract of land....to my son William, two hundred acres of land in the State of Kentucky in Wilson and Washington counties....I give to my daughter Theodosia DENEALE the following....I hereby set my hand this twentieth day of July 1805....(sd) James C. DENEALE Witnesses John TYLER John WRENN". This son, William DENEALE, has been found to be William Scott DENEALE, erroneously named as William Scott O'DANIEL, the son of Theodosia CONGERS and James O'DANIEL in Tyler's Quarterly. The reference to his daughter Theodosia shows that she was most likely the daughter of James DENEALE and Theodosia CONYERS, and named after his wife. James had married Priscilla after Theodosia had passed away. The given name Theodosia is not found in the O'DANIEL family.
On April 2, 1754, James (O'DANIEL) DANIELL was in South Carolina, married with two children, when he petitioned for 200 acres of land on the Broad or Santee (Congaree) Rivers as recorded in Petitions for Land From the South Carolina Council Journals, Brent Holcomb, Volume IV, page 48. This fact alone should separate him from any controversy concerning the marriage to Theodosia.
In 1772, when James DENEAL was receiving his Northern Neck land grant, James (O'DANIEL) DANIELL was established in Camden District, South Carolina, raising his family, and increasing his land holdings; he died in 1798 in Hancock County, Georgia, will dated 1797, married to Nancy HARDWICK at the time of his death.
It seems certain that the orthography of O'DUNEAL (DENEALE) and O'DANIEL had been confused. In fact, the DENEALE surname, other than as listed in The Register of Overwharton Parish, Stafford Co., Virginia 1723-1758 and Sundry Historical and Genealogical Notes, has not been found as "O'DENEALE" according to contributor, Don DENEAL. James DENEALE died after 1825 in Fairfax County, Virginia. James O'DANIEL died in 1798 in Hancock County, Georgia. The DENEALE family does not appear to be related to the O'DANIEL family, but were contemporaries in Stafford, later, Prince William, and Fairfax Counties. In more recent findings, James O'DANIEL's nephew, James GUNNELL, a son of Henry GUNNELL and Catherine O'DANIEL married Ann DENEALE, the daughter of James DENEALE and Theodosia CONYERS. Another nephew, Stephen DANIEL, son of John O'DANIEL, married Anne Wise RATCLIFFE, a niece of Ann "Nancy" BOWLING WISE who was wrongly said to be the second wife of James' brother, John O'DANIEL. (Addressed in John's General Notes.)
Considering all of the above, the reported marriage of James O'DANIEL to Theodosia CONGERS/CONYERS/CONNER did not happen.
Fairfax HARRISON contributed the section entitled "A GROUP OF NORTHERN NECK FAMILIES" printed in TYLER'S QUARTERLY HISTORICAL and GENEALOGICAL MAGAZINE, VOLUME I., Editor: LYON G. TYLER, M. A., LL. D., RICHMOND, VA. 1920. Fairfax married Hester "Hetty" CARY, a daughter of John Brune CARY and Frances Eugenia DANIEL, and a third great-granddaughter of William O'DANIEL of Stafford County, Virginia, from the line of his son John. With the exceptions of the marriage of James O'DANIEL to Theodosian CONGERS and the second marriage of John O'DANIEL to Ann BOWLING, his information has proven to be correct concerning the DANIEL (O'DANIEL) family.

General Notes: Husband -
Samuel then married Mary O'DANIEL after 1777. Over the next 22 years, he and Mary had eight children.
They had moved to Kentucky before February 7, 1791, when his mother wrote her will in which she stated that Samuel was no longer in Fairfax County, Virginia. They had settled in that part of Fayette County which would become Clark County in 1792, and named their homestead "Locust Grove".
The Kentucky Gazette, Lexington, June 22, 1793, published: "Samuel TALBERT, Clark County 12 April 1793, living on the Kentucky River between Boon's Creek and Juit's Creek, found a mare."
The Kentucky Gazette, 19 March 1794, "Samuel TALBOT, living in Clark County near mouth of Boone's Creek, found a mare." [This is about 15 miles southeast of Lexingtonon John Filson's 1793 Map of Kentucky, http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~kyfayett/filsons.htm ]
Samuel bought 35 acres in Clark County from Dennis BRADLEY in 1798 (DB 3, p. 180), and another 227 acres from Samuel COMBS in 1817 (DB 13, p. 93).
Among the claims filed in the Public Record Office of London, England, was this item: "Samuel TALBOT, Jr. of Fairfax. Debt with interest due 15 Sept. '98, L3.17.8. Went to Kentucky about ten years ago; had property. Inquire of J. COFFER." (p. 136)
W. H. Perrin's History of Fayette County, Kentucky, includes a biographical sketch of Mrs. Elizabeth FISHER, a descendant of Samuel TALBOTT: "Her maiden name was TALBOTT, and she is a direct descendant of an English Scotch family of the name who came from Virginia to Kentucky at an early day, her great-grandfather, Samuel TALBOTT, settling in Clark County, between the Kentucky River and Boone's Creek. He had one son, Nicholas, whose mother died when he was but a child, and several other children by a second wife." (p. 803) Nicholas was born on November 10, 1776.
Samuel's second wife was Mary O'DANIEL, daughter of John and Elizabeth Moxley O'DANIEL of Fairfax County. When John O'DANIEL died in 1798, his will mentioned his daughter "Mary TALBERT" who was "to have land in Kentucky."
Samuel witnessed the Last Will & Testament of John TILLETT of Bourbon County, Kentucky. In an abstract: Wills: TILLETT, John - Names wife, Jane; sons, James, William, John, Giles; granddaughter, Sarah, daughter of George, deceased; daughters, Nancy COTTEN, Jane REED, Elizabeth BOGGESS, Mary SPENCER, Susanna WARREN. Written 27 Mar 1810. Proved Sep 1812. Witnesses: M. and Samuel TALBOTT, Jas. FORD. (Will Book D, p. 300)
The 1830 Clark County Census, page 89, lists Samuel TALBOTT and family: 1 male and 1 female 70-80 years old, 1 male and 1 female 30-40 years old, 1 female 20-30 years old, 2 males and 1 female 10-15 years old, 1 female 5-10 years old, and 2 females 0-5.
Samuel wrote his will on August 16, 1824, and it was proved on May 27, 1833:
I, Samuel TALBOTT of the County of Clarke and State of Kenty. living in My right Mind and Memory do make My Last Will and Testament in the manner Following

General Notes: Wife -
Mary's sister Elizabeth, also received 200 acres of land from the same tract in Kentucky. She was named as Elizabeth TALBERT, in her father's will, however, Kentucky land records show her husband as Isaac HALBERT, indicating a clerical error in the recorded will of John O'DANIEL. The U.S. Geological Survey-Charters Quadrangle-Lewis.Corky, Edition of 1950 lists "Elizabeth O'DANIEL, 1761-1847, and her husband, Issac HALBERT, 1750-1825.", buried in Valley Cemetery off Salt Lick Creek, below Redden Branch and above Clary Branch, a little north of a settlement called "Charters".
Samuel TALBERT, Sr. and Mary Magdalene DeMOUVELL were the parents of Samuel TALBOTT, Jr. who married Mary O'DANIEL. Mary Magdalene DeMovell TALBERT'S will, written in 1791, is recorded in Fairfax County, Virginia, where she died. (husband Samuel died in Revolution 1777) She mentions her son Samuel, who is still in Fairfax at the writing, but later removed to Kentucky. It also mentions a son Demovell TALBERT who left Fairfax also removing Kentucky (Bourbon County and Clark County). She mentions another Son Rodham TALBERT - but I have nothing on him at all - wife? etc?. He served in Revolution and died supposedly in Shelby County, Ohio, but wonder if this might not be Shelby County, Kentucky?
Demovell TALBOTT married twice as I found (1) Leanna TALBOTT, his cousin, her mother Leanna MASON, child of French MASON. Leanna TALBOTT may have died in Fairfax before Demovell TALBOTT moved to Kentucky. His second wife was Margaret "Peggy" WILLIAMS, daughter of William. They went to Kentucky after marrying.

General Notes: Husband -
About 1780, Stephen married Ann "Nancy" Wise RATCLIFFE, daughter of Richard RATCLIFFE and Louisiana "Locian" BOWLING.
Virginia Northern Neck Land Grants, Vol. 3, 1775-1800, p. 148 records Stephen obtaining 19 acres, apparently from his father. V-550: T.W. 131: 1 May 1790 Stephen O'DANIEL asne. of John ODANIEL 19 A. (8 Jan 1791) in Fairfax Co. adj. O'DANIEL's Br., William ODANIEL now John ODANIEL, Accotink Run. 15 June 1792."
From John O'DANIEL's Will dated 19 January 1798, " I give and bequeath to my son Stephen ODANIEL Negro James Cris and her two youngest Children to him and his Heirs forever."
Stephen O'DANIEL was listed five times as a buyer at his father's estate sale, three of those times as "Stephen DANIEL."
According to Fairfax Court records, Aug 19, 1799, p. 1628, Stephen DANIEL was to be commissioned a Lieutenant in the Virginia militia.
On 12th of February 1800, Stephen sold his 19 acre tract to Richard RATCLIFFE, his father-in-law, for eighty-five dollars and 50 cents "Current money." Apparently Stephen was allowed to continue living on this land, because in 1854, at the age of 94, "Stephen died at his home, called Airhill, near Centreville, Fairfax County, Virginia"; this being the 19 acre plot Stephen received in 1790 adjoining the land bequeathed to his father's widow, Nancy O'DANIEL.

Stephen's will is dated March 13, 1849 and was proved March 20, 1854 (Fairfax Liber X, 183). From his will and the detailed land records book, BEGINNING AT A WHITE OAK, by Beth Mitchell, it appears that he had acquired a number of Fairfax plantations aggregating several thousand acres. He names grandchildren Richard Nelson DANIEL, John Hooe DANIEL, and Nancy Wise DANIEL, children of his deceased son Richard John DANIEL; his daughter Jane Pearson ALLISON, and her husband James Gordon ALLISON; grandson Stephen Daniel FOOTE, only surviving child of late daughter Julia Ann JACKSON; grand-daughters Mary Elizabeth, Anne Catherine and Frances Eugenia, children of late son William S. (Steven) DANIEL, and son Robert Ratcliffe DANIEL". Pages 582 - 586, GENEALOGIES OF VIRGINIA FAMILIES, VOL. IV (W -Y and Appendix)
The Last Will and Testament of Stephen DANIEL, below, was transcribed from a photocopy of Fairfax County, Virginia, Will Book X1, page 180. There are no editorial comments within the will. Stephen used parenthetical comments in his will, e.g., ("Called Airhill"). While this example looks odd, it is as written. The transcriber used parentheses containing question marks when words or letters were not distinguishable:
In the Name of God. Amen. I Stephen DANIEL of the County of Fairfax and State of Virginia, being weak in body, but of sound and perfect mind and memory do make and publish this as my last will and testament, in manner and form following, (that is to say) I give and bequeath unto my grand sons Richard NELSON and John Hooe DANIEL and my grand daughter Nancy Wise DANIEL, the children of my son the late Richard J. DANIEL that certain tract of land, lying on Elk Lick and adjoining the lands of Andrew HUTCHISON and others, being the same on which the said Richard J. DANIEL resided at the time of his death, to be equally divided amongst the three said grandchildren. I further give and bequeath unto the said three grandchildren one half of my servants not otherwise disposed of in this my last will and testament to them and their heirs forever.
I give and bequeath unto my daughter Jane P. ALLISON all that part of the farm on which I now reside ("Called Airhill") lying north of the old mountain road between Flat Lick and Rocky Run and to her heirs forever. I further give and bequeath unto my said daughter Jane P. ALLISON and to her heirs forever one half of all my servants not otherwise disposed of in this my last will and testament. I further give and bequeath to my said daughter Jane P. ALLISON my single horse pleasure carriage.
I give and bequeath unto James Gordon ALLISON in trust for my grandson Stephen Daniel FOOTE, the only surviving child of my late daughter Julia Ann JACKSON, and his heirs forever all that certain tract of land called Wood Lawn adjoining the lands of SALISBURY (??) being the same land purchased by me of William H.

SPINDLE and others, and adjoining the lands of Jas. A SPINDLE and others, to them and their heirs forever.
I further give and bequeath to my three said grand daughters, the children of my said son William S. DANIEL, and to their heirs forever, my negro man Celestian(?)

I further give and bequeath unto James Gordon ALLISON, in trust for my said son Robert Ratcliff DANIEL & his heirs forever, my servants woman Jimima and Aymee and Mary Jane the child of Aymee, together with all their future increase.
I further will and direct that all my remaining estate of any description whatever, including a certain house and lot in the town of Centreville (at present occupied by William FORSYTHE) shall be sold and the moneys arising from such sale, after the payment of all my just debts, shall be equally divided amongst my heirs.
I further give and bequeath unto my aforesaid daughter Jane P. ALLISON, my three old servants Michael BETTS, Patty HARRIS and Letty COX, and hereby will and direct that they shall be supported out of that portion of my estate, given in this my last will and testament to my said daughter Jane P. ALLISON.
I further will and direct that my Servant man (E.?) HARRIS, shall (on account of his faithful services and good behavior) be free, and that my Executors shall pay to him the sum of one hundred dollars out of my estate not otherwise herein disposed of.
I hereby appoint James Gordon ALLISON and Richard Nelson DANIEL, Executors of this my last will and testament, and hereby revoke all former wills by me made. In witness whereof, I hereunto set my hand and seal this 15th day of March, in the year 1849.
Signed, Sealed, published and declared by the above named Stephen DANIEL to be his last will and testament, in presence of us, who have hereunto subscribed our names as witnesses in the presence of the testator A. S. GRIGSBY Jas.(?) A. EVANS B. F. ROSE
General Notes: Wife -
In her father's will, dated 29 March 1815, Richard RATCLIFFE bequeathed "...and that after my said wife's death my desire is that all the houses & lotts of mine in providence, may be equally divided among my five daughters Penelope JACKSON, Nancy W. DANIEL, Jane MOSS, Patsey RATCLIFFE, and Locian RATCLIFFE Except the brick store house & lott and Hagues house, & that halfs, his lott, next to Payne Street..."
Ann Wise died before 1825 when her inheritance was claimed by her husband, Stephen DANIEL. "When our town founder, Richard Ratcliffe, died in 1825 his land was devised to his heirs. The Sisson House stands on a portion of that land which Ratcliffe owned outside of the then town limits. Richard Ratcliffe's Will directed that his land outside of Providence, as Fairfax was then known, be divided among his daughters as they may choose. Stephen Daniel, the husband of Ann W. Daniel, a deceased daughter of Richard Ratcliffe, as her legal heir, chose a ten acre parcel encompassing the site of the present Sisson House. The transfer of this property to Stephen Daniel was halted by a suit brought by Thomas Moss, and others, to settle debts on the estate of Richard Ratcliffe. The result of this suit was the distribution of Ratcliffe's land to special commissioners for benefit of the estate. These commisioners were directed to sell "Lot 4" of the estate of Richard Ratcliffe consisting of ten acres. Daniel McCarty Fitzhugh acquired Lot 4 of Ratcliffe's estate from these commissioners on December 29, 1845." (The Fare Facs Gazette, Vol. 2, Issue 4, Fall 2004, http://www.historicfairfax.org/HFCI24.pdf)
Stephen Daniel's Will of 1849 does not name or mention a wife. Wesley Pippenger in "John Alexander" writes that Julia Ann DANIELS (sic) was the daughter of Stephen and Janet DANIELS (sic). 360

General Notes: Husband -
The O'DANIEL family lands were within Truro Parish. "Within this territory were the seats of the Fairfaxes, Washingtons, Masons, McCartys, Fitzhughs, Brents, Alexanders, Lewises, Mercers, Daniels, Carters, Dades, Stuarts, Corbins, Tayloes, Steptoes, Newtons, Browns, Lees, Thorntons, Balls, Smiths, and other leading families too many to mention." ("The History of Truro Parish in Virginia" by Rev. Philip Slaughter with Notes and Addenda by Rev. Edward L. Goodwin. 1907.)
It was about 1740 when their O'DANIEL surname began being found as DANIEL in public records. William is found as O'DANIEL in most records in Virginia. He is DANIEL on some records in South Carolina, but he continued to used the O' throughout his lifetime and in his 1795 last will and testament.
In John GLADDIN's will of 1749, William O'DANIEL was named Executor for bequeaths left to John's wife, Frances GLADDIN, William's mother. William and his brother, John O'DANIEL, named as Executor for bequeaths to Ann NELSON and her daughter, Sarah NELSON, presented the GLADDIN's will at a Fairfax County court on 26 December 1749. On the same date, William and Henry GUNNELL signed a Bond of Estate for William's part, as did John O'DANIEL, William Payne, Jr., and Thomas Wren for John's part.
In William's mother's will, dated 7 February 1755, Frances O'Daniel GLADIN bequeathed to William a Negro, Joe. In her will, Frances names her sons as "James DANNELL, William DANNELL, and John O'DANNELL. If there was a riff between brothers which may caused a difference in the surnames they used, as surmised, this naming in the will may be indicative of its having begun before 1755.
The name William O'DANIEL is found in extant records of the Fairfax County courts from 1753 to 1757. In the November 1757 case, William is represented by an attorney, indicating he may not have been in Fairfax at this time. The records show the cases as "William GLADDIN vs William O'DANIEL - in replevin - continued". Fairfax County Court Order/Minute Books record the following:
"William GLADDIN, Plaintiff, against William O'DANIEL, defendant - in Replevin - This day came as well the aforesaid William GLADDIN as the aforesaid William O'DANIEL by their attornies and thereupon all and singular the promisess being seem and by the Court here and fully understood and mature deliberation thereupon had it considered that the said William GLADDIN recover against the said William O'DANIEL the mulatto boy named Anthony AVERY in the declaration mentioned and one shilling damages and also his costs by him in this behalf expended and the said William O'DANIEL in mercy ____ from which judgment the said William O'DANIEL prays an appeal to the most General Court which is granted him and John O'DANIEL and Joseph MOXLEY acknowledge a bond for prosecuting the same with object." This lawsuit started because the mulatto boy, Anthony AVERY, was left to John O'DANIEL in the will of Frances GLADIN; however, Frances' deceased husband, John GLADIN, had bequeathed Anthony AVERY to Sarah NELSON. Sarah NELSON died "as an infant". William GLADDIN, brother of the deceased John GLADIN, acquired ownership of Sarah's bequeaths, apparently including AVERY. Arguably, William demanded that John O'DANIEL return AVERY to him. John protests that he does not have AVERY and that his brother, William, has him. William GLADDIN then sues William O'DANIEL to recover Anthony AVERY or his value. Why and where did William O'DANIEL have him? In a probable scenario, William O'DANIEL goes to SC cir. 1754. Frances GLADIN lets him take Anthony AVERY with him as a servant for his family, but then gave Anthony to John O'DANIEL in her will. Anthony was not hers to give because he was part of John GLADIN's estate bequeathed to Sarah NELSON, his god-daughter. William O'DANIEL may have been in South Carolina and not available to appear in person, thus, represented in the suit by his attorney and leaving his brother, John O'DANIEL and Joseph MOXLEY to protect his interests and post his bond to the court. (William's being in South Carolina during this period is strengthened by this record in Brent H. Holcomb's "Petitions For Land From The South Carolina Council Journals.Vol. 4 - 1754-1756 - Meeting of Tuesday A.M. 5 August, 1755: - The Petition of William O'Daniel humbly setting forth That the Petitioner had four persons in family for whom he never had warrant of survey or grant of land, prayed for two hundred acres of Land between Broad and Saludy Rivers and that the might have a grant for the same. Dated July 4th, 1755. William O'Daniel. The prayer thereof was granted."

"South Carolina. Pursuant to a precept from Wm. DeBrahm Esq. Surveyor General, dated the 5th day of August A.D. 1755, I have measured unto William O'Daniel a tract of two hundred acres of land on Indian Creek, in the fork between Broad and Saludy Rivers: and is bounded on all sides by vacant land: and hath such form as the above plat represents. Certified th. 6th day of July A. D. 1756 by me Joseph CURRY D.S." [Although the plat distinctly reads "William O'DANIEL," it is indexed as "William DANIEL."

William O'DANIEL is listed among the names receiving militia pay disbursements in Henings Statutes At Large - Va. for Fairfax County, September 1758. No dates of service were mentioned in this excerpt. William O'DANIEL is also listed as a sergeant in the book, Virginia Colonial Militia, Fairfax County, September, 1758. This William is likely the son of William and Frances O'DANIEL of Stafford [now Fairfax] County.
The next mention of a William O'DANIEL in Fairfax County, Virginia records is in August 1768. The court ordered John O'DANIEL to pay 550 pounds of tobacco to one William O'DANIEL for having attended 22 days as a witness for John O'DANIEL in a case against John DALTON. (Fairfax County, Virginia, Court Order Book 1768-1770, page 28) The identity of the William O'DANIEL in this case is uncertain; it may be one of two Williams of age at this time, John's brother, returned from South Carolina to testify, or John's son, age 21, who migrated to South Carolina about this time.
Questions: What happened to William O'DANIEL of Fairfax County, Virginia? His brother, James O'DANIEL had petitioned South Carolina for a land grant in 1754, before he sold his inherited land in Fairfax in 1757. William's last legal record in Fairfax is also 1757, in which John O'DANIEL posted bond for William. It appears that both William and James severed their final ties to Fairfax, Virginia, in 1757 to live their lives in South Carolina. South Carolina land grants to both William O'DANIEL and James DANIEL were on the Broad River at about the same time, 1754, contributing to the evidence of their connection. William's grant was in what is now Kershaw county, , and James' grant was in now Fairfield county, which counties abut each other. The locations of these O'DANIEL children are close to each other. They likely migrated together. On March 23, 1773, William DANIEL and his nephew, Jesse DANIEL, son of James DANIELL, were witnesses to the lease by Moses KIRKLAND to Arthur SIMPKINS of land located between the Savannah and Saluda Rivers. Another show of kinship? William and James' brother, John O'DANIEL, had a son, William, who migrated to Fairfield County, and then to Edgefield County, South Carolina. He is known to be John's son by his parents indenture of land in Kentucky to him in 1797, recorded in Fairfax County, Virginia. John's daughter, Frances, "followed her uncle to South Carolina and there married a man named MAY." Which uncle was not specified, but had to have been James because William was not named in the article. Two of William of Edgefield's sons were closely associated with Josiah L. DANIEL, son of William O'DANIEL of Kershaw County, South Carolina. Josiah L. DANIEL married his cousin, Mary DANIEL, daughter of William DANIEL of Edgefield. Another link to show close familial ties between William O'DANIEL of Kershaw County and James and John O'DANIEL of Fairfax County, Virginia.
Who was the fourth person in William's household in 1755? Anthony AVERY, subject of the lawsuit by William GLADDIN against William O'DANIEL in the Fairfax County, Virginia court in 1757? Or James O'DANIEL who was having problems with his land grant at the time?
William was married before 1755, the year of his first son's birth. His wife's name has not been found, but the given names of some of his sons, Josiah, Sem, and David, are unusual names among O'DANIEL descendants and may help to identify their mother.
William DANIEL is in the Saluda River area of South Carolina by 1755, named in a document with a number of others who petition the Georgia Trustees in Savannah to send troops to protect the settlers. He signs the document as William DANIEL.
In the South Carolina Council Journal, January 6, 1755 to August 18, 1755, page 281, is a record that William O'DANIEL personally petitioned the Grand Council of South Carolina for 200 acres of land. At this time South Carolina Royal Grants were given for 50 acres to a head of household and 50 acres for each additional member of the household. This would establish the fact that there were four individuals in William's family, William, his wife, his son, William, and a fourth person, unknown, who may have been a relation, an unidentified child who died young, or Anthony AVERY. "200 acres on Indian Creek in the Fork between Broad and Saluda Rivers, bounded on all sides by vacant land" were granted to him on May 8, 1758. The plat had been certified on July 6, 1756. At the top of the grant, a handwritten note states "4 October 1758 delivered to Joseph CURRY." The grant is listed in South Carolina Royal Grants, Volume 8, page 291, and in 2009 is in Edgefield County roughly 5 miles north of Mount Willing. The required Memorial is not recorded. Land memorials were required of everyone who owned property from about 1730 to 1776. William may have abandoned or sold this land because of the Cherokee Wars which lasted until 1761. That would explain his presence in Fairfax County, Virginia in the late 1750s and his later return to South Carolina and acquiring land in Craven County in 1763.
This acquisition was for 50 acres on Granney's Quarter Creek in Craven County. It was bounded westerly on land surveyed for Henry SUMMERFORD, southerly on said creek, and on other sides vacant land. The plat was certified on April 5, 1763 and the grant made on May 8, 1763. The Memorial for this land was signed as William O'DANIEL on July 13, 1763, as can be found in South Carolina Land Memorials, Volume 6, page 102. William sold this land on November 5, 1789 in a deed to Henry EADY for ten pounds. The land was, by then, in Lancaster County, proved there on July 17, 1790, but not recorded until August 1, 1793 in then Kershaw County in Deed Book B, page 297. Modern maps show Granney's Quarter Creek as the first creek North of the city of Camden in Kershaw County. This area was historically part of Craven County, 1682-1785; Camden Judicial District, Craven County, 1769-1785; Lancaster County, 1785-1791; and Kershaw County, 1791 to present.
Beginning in 1765, William started accumulating land on White Oak Creek, the next creek North of Granney's Quarter Creek on the East side of the Wateree River. At his death, this land was listed as his place of residence. A plat for 100 acres, bounded by vacant land on all sides, was certified on May 10, 1765 and the grant was made on October 31, 1765. William's memorial for this land was dated November 25, 1765, and signed "for the memorialist by John LANDERS". A plat of this land can be viewed at http://www.archivesindex.sc.gov/onlinearchives/Thumbnails.aspx?recordId=99056.
William added an additional 50 acres, bounded to the South by land of William O'DANIEL and on all other sides by vacant land, plated on November 17,1766 and granted on February 17, 1767. William presented his memorial for this land on February 17, 1767. By the end of 1766, William had been granted 400 acres here, apparently headrights for himself, wife and six others. He sold 250 acres of the total, keeping 150 acres of his grants for himself.
William O'DANIEL and John O'DANIEL are listed among the Names of Individuals with Accounts At "Clermont" (Rugeley's Fort) Camden District, SC 1776-1778 (John R. Clarke, 12 May 2004, http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/daniel/2004-05/1084409137) Rugeley's Fort was located twelve miles north of Camden on "Clermont", the plantation of Colonel Henry RUGELEY, in the fork of Grannies Quarter and Flat Rock creeks in Kershaw County west of modern state secondary road S-28-58 and north of S-28-40.

On page 13 of "Camden District, S. C. Wills and Administrations, 1781-1787" by Holcomb and Parker, three men, James DANIEL, William DANIEL, and Lewis POPE, are listed as appraisers of the estate of Elizabeth CHAPELL (apt 15, pkg 476). Her will was proved 27 Oct 1782. Purchasers at the sale of property include both William DANIEL and John COOK. This record shows James and William DANIEL together, and is the only document yet found that does. This William DANIEL is either William O'DANIEL/DANIEL (1721?-1796), James' brother, or William, son of John O'DANIEL of Fairfax, Virginia , and nephew of John's brothers, James and William. Both the POPE and COOK families were associated through marriages with James DANIELL's family. William was later of Kershaw County, and James of Fairfield County, South Carolina.
On December 4, 1788, William bought 141 acres from John O'DANIEL for 15 pounds sterling. The land was recorded as on both sides of White Oak Creek, bounded on the North by John GOODWIN, South by land of Michael McELWORTH and the said William O'DANIEL, Southeast by land granted to said William O'DANIEL, South by land granted to Henry DUNGWORTH and all other sides by vacant land, as per two plats of land. The deed was witnessed by David (X) BALLARD, Thomas GARDNER, and David DANIEL,William's son, and recorded December 12, 1788 in Lancaster County. This purchase completed William's estate of 291 acres as given in his will.
The 1790 census for South Carolina, Camden District, Lancaster County, Printed Edition, page 26 shows "William DANIL" with 1 male age 16 & upwards, 1 male under 16, 2 females, and 3 slaves.
William's will, dated 4 November 1795, probated 8 November, 1796, and recorded in Kershaw County Will Book C, page 260, was transcribed as follows:
"South Carolina Kershaw County White Oak Creek - - -

A flourish of his pen may have looked like an added "s". William did not mention a wife, and left all of his 291 acres to his son, William, who presented the will for probate on 8 November 1796.
