Sometimes it seemed that each letter I received con tained a coincidence that tied it to a previous letter. My problem was remembering WHERE I read that before? After much stumbling and a few false starts here I am with a few updates for you on items which previously appeared in DDD and some questions on others.

VA Company under Capt. Ward and Col. Gordon. Name sent in by Mr. Smith C. Daniell, Port Gibson, MS Thanks Marian for all of this info. You have been generous with your re search and this was never more apparent than when I received LETTER # 2 from Ruth Withers of Grafton, W.VA. Ruth sought help on her line, John Daniels m 20 July 1775, Philadelphia PA Sarah Ball. I was able to help Ruth because Marian Botel had sent me copies from a book in the Nat. Gen. SocL Lib., DUMONT DE SOUMAGNE AND ALLIED FAMILIES WITH COLLATERAL LINES OF ...I.DANIELS, by John Sanderson DuMont. 1960. The book had an interesting account of Ruth s family on pages 120-129. After exchanging several letters and making corrections in the books account the following history emerged. DANIELS FAMILY OF BUCKS CO., PA. Capi;. John Daniels was a British officer in the Fr. & Indian War. He came to i^merica in 1754. His wife ^ ; Sarah Ball, was the daughter of Wm. Ball and Frances Slaughter, grand-dau of John Ball and Sarah Roades. John and Sarah Daniels lived briefly in Fauquier Co., VA where a son, William Ball Daniels was b 29 Oct 1784. John Daniels remained in the British Army and died while fighting on Malta, where he was buried with full military honors. Sept 1793. Sarah Ball Daniels, b 1750, d 21 Nov 1828, buried Norristown, PA at Old Swedes" Church. The will of Sarah Ball Daniels was written, 1823 while she was residing at Warminister, Bucks Co., PA., but was probated 1829 in Montgomery Co., PA (Will Bk 6, p. 541). Children listed in the will: Abigail, m. George Washington Withers, resided Fauquier Co., VA; William Daniel and wife, Ann (Eldridge) Daniel; Joseph Daniels; John Daniels(deceased when will written). Some records from Fauquier Co., VA: MARRIAGE BONDS OF FAUQUIER CO., Johp Daniel to Nancy Hardin, Jan 8, 1795. 1810 census, Fauquier Co., VA p 272: John Daniel, 1 mal under 10; 1 male 16-26; 1 male 26-46; 2 females under 5; 1 female 16-26. _ LETTER #3 arrived from Dave Harness, 4918 Tahoe Circle, Martinez, CA 94553. His earliest ancestor was Eli Daniels, b 1800, London Co., VA, m 3-29-1821, London Co., VA Elizabeth Wagley; dc 1865 Pottawatomie Co., Kansas. Dave had done a lot of VA research especially the counties of London, FAirfax, and FAUQUIER. He shared' lots of his info with me which will appear in DDD next year, but I was able to combine some of this data with Old Faithful Heiriemann s Daniel^Families of theSouthern States (Vol. 2 p 40b Fam 7) and old copies of Daniell, Daniells News and Notes (Vol. 8, 1975, p. 5) and hav^ an interesting picture of the DANIEL FAMILY OF LOUDON CO., VA.-- unfortunately I could not fit Dave's ancestor, Eli ] but we're still hoping to find the right clue. Daniels, in this line Issue 48 - Nov 1987 Page 29 WILLIAM DANIEL of Louden Co., VA, son of William O'Daniel. b ? ; d 16 Feb 1800; m 20 Jan 1734, Fairfax Co., VA, Mrs. Esther Graham Deu bragh. Reportedly this family were Quakers. Children not in order; 1 James Daniel, m 4-15-1776, London Co., VA Hannah Seybolds William Daniel, m 1) Nancy Hobbs 2)-- 3) Rebecca Ellis moved to Dearborn Co., Indiana 3 Joseph Daniel, m Tacey Humphrey, d 1828 4 Benjamin Daniel, ml) Jane Love 2) -- 5 Samuel Daniel, m Sarah Hunt, went to Belmont Co., Ohio (HeinemannV2, P46-5C 6 Sarah Daniel, m -?- Lewis 7 Jane Daniel, m Thomas Cadwaller 8 Esther Daniel, m -?- Richards ' 9 Martha Daniel, m Joseph Rhodes 10 Mary Daniel, m 1) Samuel Smith 2) -?- Dillon 11 Rachel Daniel, m 2)John Sinclair In the VA files of DDD 1 found a letter written to me in 1985 from Ken iRoctcwell, 2010 Terrace Dr., Ventura, CA 93001. Some of'the data mentioned- - in it seems like it may be talking about the above family but there are- somt obvious similarities and/or mistakes. Ken's earliest ancestor was " Jane Daniel, married Enos Drake 25 Sept 1800, in "W.VA". Enos Drake was. - b in LOUDON CO., VA 3 Sept 1775. Several of Jane and Enos* children were b in London Co. Enos died in Morgan Co., OHIO. In the letter Ken wondered if Jane Daniel was a dau of James Daniel b 1729, of London Co., VA, m Ester Yarborough and had known son, Samuel, b 1781, moved to Ohio. It looks to me like a couple of generations may be combined in this account. Can any of you help straighten this out? Regarding the records of Morgan Co., Oh'io 1 have FGS~on file sent by Nadine Heppell, 556 Dalton Way, Goleta, CA 93117, in 1985. They are for Fenton Lee Daniel/Daniels, b 20 Oct 1827, Fairfax Co., VA., m. 30 Mar 1854., Morgan Co., OHio Martha Jones. Fenton was a son of James and Millie Daniel.
