Wondering if anyone has information on a Thomas Blackburn who married a Sally Daniel , the marriage record is from Caroline co. VA in 1794? , and whether this Thomas Blackburn has any connection to the Thomas that lived and died in Floyd/Pike counties KY. My dad's autosomal dna has matches that appear to trace back to this Thomas Blackburn . Trying to decipher who the dna match actually comes through.? Also the Sally Daniel, if anyone has info on who she was, some tree's on Ancestry have her as being the daughter of a Lucretia Daniel who died 1787 , I have seen the will records for this Lucretia and she did have a daughter Sally , she also had a daughter Lucy who married Reuben Tucker ( My dad also has an autosomal match that appears to connect to that line as well) .

Hi Joe,
? ?There were two Daniel families in Caroline County, VA in the 1790s.

First was the line of William Daniel 1680-1765? of Essex and Caroline Counties, VA. This line was just about gone from Caroline County, VA when this marriage took place, as most of the males had migrated out of the county by the late 1790s. Some of William's descendants settled in Floyd/Lawrence/Johnson Counties, KY just before 1810. This bunch left Caroline before the Revolutionary War, though.?

Second was the line of James Daniel 1664-1742 of Essex County, VA. His grandson, James, moved over the Essex line into Caroline County in the late 1760s or early 1770s and was the ancestor of the Daniels from this line in Caroline County. These Daniels remained in Caroline after 1800 but eventually moved to Kentucky and later to Missouri. Coincidentally, descendants of William Daniel 1680-1765 moved to the same counties in Kentucky and Virginia as these Daniels did, but had no interaction in records and Y DNA testing proves the two lines are unrelated.?

This far back, it is difficult to tell who the ancestor is that we share with our matches unless our tree and our matches' tree are very complete for a least of couple of generations back from the suspected shared ancestor.?

I did expend some effort into researching this couple, but could not make any conclusion about which family they belonged to, if either of them.

? ?I descend from William Daniel 1680-1765 of Essex and Caroline. I have matches to folks who have this couple in their tree, but this is pretty far back and I don't take the match to mean that this Sarah is from the line of William Daniel 1680-1765.

Best,

Kevin

Meant to say the the Caroline Daniels moved the some of the same counties in Kentucky and Missouri (not Virginia), that the Essex Daniels did....

Thanks Kevin I figured if anyone had insight into the Caroline county connection it would be you. I agree there's not enough information to assign this Thomas Blackburn to any other families nor for saying his wife was Sally Daniel ,the search continues . I did in the course of researching the Blackburn's and associated families in Floyd and Pike KY come across a Mary Daniel( don't remember the exact connection but it was through one of the associated families : Thacker , Justice or Collins) , she appears to be the Granddaughter if Isom Daniel and Mary Borders which is part of the Caroline group. It get very confusing when you have different families in close proximity. I may be running down a rabbit hole with the autosomal dna matches to this group but as it's said "if you share dna? you share a common ancestor" the hard part is which one .
