I have a Sion Daniel, b 1795 Halifax VA, son of Ambrose who was
son of Peter Sr. d 1788 Halifax. Peter Sr. had sons James and
Ambrose and there must be Peter Jr.
This Peter Jr could be the one you have making the will in 1791.
This Sion b1795 is too young to be his friend, so there must be
another Sion in the previous generation as well.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Ref Peter Sr.'s wife Sarah Randall:
Children of Sarah
James Daniel b: 20 JUL 1728 in Halifax County, Virginia, USA (Lt
Rev War)
William Daniel b: 1732 in Halifax County
Peter Daniel b: 1734
Sarah Daniel b: 1736
Randall Daniel b: 1738
NOTE: NO AMBROSE!
Had Sarah died and Peter married Mary Ambrose and then child
Ambrose b 1738??
------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes about Ambrose:
His will was proved in the May 1795 term of court. Page 147 of
"Heritage History of Chester County, South Carolina", 1982, says
that he moved from Halifax Co., NC, to York Co., SC.
"Captain Bill", Book Three, 1990, by Robert J. Stevens, says that
he was of Halifax Co., VA. [these two Halifax counties are just a
few miles apart on the VA-NC border]
A descendant of this Ambrose tested his dna to be R-M269.
This categorically removes him from the Roger Daniel IV lineage
which is I2.
