Hello Clay , I am not aware of anyone from this family on Daniel DNA project, I have been trying to locate and contact people to test, but so far no response from the one's I have located . My interest in this group stems from there being several autosomal matches to my dad's kit, 8 or 9 are above 20 cm's so they aren't insignificant, and I haven't found any other connection to my dad to account for it, my dad also has several matches that trace back to the Joseph Daniel from Brunswick (Waqua creek) so I think I am on paper with the origins of my line but just not in the bulls eye yet. . My 4th GGrandfather William was born about 1760 and I am trying to figure out how he would be connected. Getting a y-dna test for the Josiah group would go a long way. I have not run across the Gillespie name in the research I've done for these Daniel's . There seemed to be a lot of marriages with Foster's? in this group . This Josiah lived in the part of Rowan that later became Davie county.? ? Likewise this Josiah's family were farmers as were my line through William of Shelby county KY.? ? ? ? Keep on keepin on?

Joe, is your Josiah Daniel family represented in the Daniel DNA project? My ancestor Hiram Daniel was born about 1770 in North Carolina, and more specifically lived in Rutherford & Buncombe counties? NC in 1800 & 1810. Some of his children settled in Tennessee, and a bill of sale 1821 in Rhea? Co Tenn from Hiram's "estate" was signed by his son Plummer Daniel and a George Gillespie. I believe the Gillespie family spent some time in Rowan Co before moving west to Rhea Co Tenn where he is buried. Grasping at straws here. My ancestors were farmers & privates in the army, not Generals, who are easier to track. Clay Daniels On Wed, Jun 30, 2021 at 8:06 AM Joe Daniel via <jdhardscrabble=[email protected]> wrote:
