I am interested in information on the earliest Daniels in Rowan County, NC.
I found a Peter Daniel who made a will in 1791 naming his wife Winneford and son Paul. Other children are mentioned but not by name. He also names his friend, Sion Daniel.
A Winny Daniel appears in the 1800 census--probably Peter's widow.
I am particularly interested in a Peter Daniel who married Sally Lofton in Rowan County in 1803. Some researchers are attributing this as a second marriage for Peter Daniel, son of Charles Daniel and Sarah Tate. The son of Charles married Jane Mayfield in 1788 in Warren County, NC. Jane's father, Abraham Mayfield, named her in his will in 1809 so she was still living. I do not believe the Peter who married Jane Mayfield and the Peter who married Sally Lofton are the same man, but wanted to attach Sally to the correct Peter.?
Any help appreciated,
Sheryl
