Re: Capt. William Daniel of Middlesex Co., VA

So many ,with the same names ,it can be confusing . I am also doing some research on a Josiah Daniel he was born around 1756 d. 1830 ish he had a son Josiah born around 1809 they were in Rowan/Davie counties . The reason I am researching this group is a couple of months before my father passed (he was 97) we did an autosomal dna for him and he has , so far 6 matches that can be traced back to this Josiah's family. Three from a child of the elder Josiah's first wife (name unknown) and three from his second wife Priscilla Trent through his son Josiah. Ancestry's thru Lines shows that many trees on Ancestry miss attribute this Josiah with the Woodson Daniel group. Now to get in contact with the male descendants of this Josiah and get a couple to do y-dna to confirm (hopefully) which Daniel family they really belong to.?
? ?On y-dna genetic distance , I have a confirmed 5th cousin that is a GD of 5 at 111 (think he was 2 at 67) and another match that is 4 at 111 (was three at 67) who has to be at least one if not two generations farther back( maybe more ) to get a common ancestor . So far we don't know who our MRCA is but I think DNA? testing is helping us close in on it .?
? ?Keep up the good work .

Thank you, Kevin, for your continuing work. I just wanted to remind everyone that my first cousin Alfred David Daniel is in the Daniel DNA group and my 3rd cousin Jerry H. Daniel. They match completely on Y DNA. We have a 66 of 67 marker match with others going back to Capt. William and we descend from his son Robert. l hope it helps others connect. We believe that the mutation on one marker happened right at our Josiah Daniel b 1805 NC, son of James Key and Sarah Brown Daniel. This is understandable in that "volatile" markers can mutate. Cecil Daniels has a paper trail back to Capt. William and descends from another son of James Key and Sarah Brown Daniel. He is also in the DNA project. We have yet to find a scrap of paper in Caswell Co., NC, with Josiah's name on it, but have not found any other Daniel family with an unidentified son the right age to be our Josiah. Census records say that he was b in NC and parents b VA (that fits). The names of some of his children: James, Sarah, and William Brown Daniel would suggest a father named James and Brown from the mother's maiden name. We only had one day for research at the archives in Raleigh so don't know if we missed anything that might have placed Josiah there prior to moving to AL. So, anyone searching in NC, please let us know if you find anything with Josiah's name on it. Meanwhile, we trust that this is our connection.?
