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,

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.

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.

It would appear that there were two groups of Daniel's in Rowan and it is unclear at the moment whether they were related. It seems to me that they may not have been.

I assume that the Peter Daniel in question is the ancestor (supposed) of the Brunswick and Dinwiddie County, VA Daniels who moved to Halifax and then to other North Carolina Counties? It seems like there may be some confusion between the Brunswick and Middlesex Peter Daniels? I thought Woodson was in the Middlesex line, or were there Woodsons in both families? I have not looked at either line for some time.
The potential high level haplogroup of the line of Ambrose Daniel is not proved, as there was an NPE in the line of the descendant that was tested. As far as I am aware, no proved descendant of the line of Peter Daniel has taken a Y DNA test, but I could be wrong about that as not everyone in the Daniel DNA Project has listed their claimed ancestor. If anyone is aware of a proved descendant of Peter Daniel of Brunswick who has taken a Y DNA test, that would useful information to post to this forum... Otherwise, we would have to conclude that the potential high level haplogroup of that line is not known.
The Y DNA of the line of Roger Daniel has not been proved. To prove the Y DNA of a paternal line, living direct male descendants of two sons of an ancestor, Roger Daniel in this case, would have to first be proved using primary records and then their Y DNA would need to match. So far, no primary record evidence has been presented which proves a descendant of one son of Roger Daniel, so it not even possible to speculate as to what haplogroup his direct male descendants had/have. Since there could be the potential for breaks in the line of Y DNA of one son, descendants of two sons of an ancestor proved using primary records must be tested and match to prove the Y DNA of an ancestor with reasonable confidence.
If primary record evidence has been compiled to prove the identity of a descendant of at least one son of Roger Daniel, this forum would be a good place to document it or to provide a link to a source that does. Primary record evidence which proves the identity of descendants of two sons would be ideal.
The above being said, the high level haplogroups of Peter Daniel and Roger Daniel are not known unless two proved descendants from each line have taken a Y DNA test. Has that happened?
Best,
Kevin

Yes, at least two unrelated, maybe more.

It would appear that there were two groups of Daniel's in
Rowan and it is unclear at the moment whether they were
related. It seems to me that they may not have been.

This Peter Jr could be the one you have making the

friend, so there must be another Sion in the
previous generation as well.

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.

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,

The introduction a possible mother, Mary Ambrose, of Ambrose Daniel was originally just speculation published by Worth Ray and Charles Brunk Heinemann. There was never any primary record evidence to support the existence of a Mary Ambrose.
Originally, Ray and Heinemann speculated that Ambrose was possibly a son of Moses Daniel, son of William Daniel 1680-1765 and Miss Williams of Essex/Caroline. There was never any primary record evidence to link Ambrose Daniel to the Essex/Caroline Daniels, though. No idea how they could have arrived at this mistake as examination of court order books in Caroline County clearly shows that Moses Daniel died unmarried, leaving no children. This may have been an assignment made only because there was a prominent Ambrose family in Caroline County, Va.
Some few Caroline Daniels did pass through Halifax VA/NC on their way to settling in western Virginia and Kentucky but that was a very brief presence and most of the records are for Walker Daniel who was a member of the Halifax legislature, an attorney and surveyor. He was also in records in Charlotte County, VA.
Before Y DNA testing there was a lot of unsupported speculation about who belonged to who and much of it proved to be incorrect.
The idea that Peter Daniel may have married an Ambrose does not have any support, either. I worked with Payne Daniel on the Brunswick/Dinwiddie/North Carolina bunch that Ambrose was connected to and we were leaning more in the direction of Peter Daniel having married a Randall. Unfortunately, there is no smoking gun in primary records in Virginia to suggest who was the wife of Peter Daniel or mother of Ambrose Daniel. I will have to go back and check our email chain to see where we finally ended up on this family.

To set the record straight. a descendant of Peter Daniel Sr., of Crab Louse, Brunswick County, has been found and tested. He came back as a perfect match to John Daniel Sr., also of Crab Louse.
|
?Here's what I have for Ambrose Daniel :?
? ?He married Sarah Edwards daughter of Joseph and Mary Ann : among Sarah Edwards brothers and sisters was Staunton , Jesse , John, remember those names.?
? ?Ambrose Daniel's children are all named in a will there in Halifax, of the girls Chloe married Wiley Crook , Sarah married Staunton Edwards ( son of the Staunton Edwards mentioned above) , Mary (not known if she ever married).?
? York county SC deed book G page 264 is Sarah Edwards Daniel receiving 200 acres as her dower, Willis Daniel is Paying Jesse Edwards $500 , witnesses were Staunton Edwards and Ambrose Daniel .?
?York County? deed book H page 273 they are selling said 200 acres " know all men by these presents that we Sarah Daniel widow of Ambrose Daniel late of North Carolina, Britton Daniel , Willis Daniel of the state of North Carolina, Wiley Crook and Chloe his wife , Staunton Edwards and his wife Sarah, Joseph Daniel , Ambrose Daniel , Sion Daniel and Mary Daniel of the state of South Carolina "?
? ? This puts Joseph Daniel in SC with several of his brothers and a sister as well as his mother. There was only one Joseph Daniel in the York/Chester SC area according to census records, that is the Joseph Daniel who married Jane Simmons and had children (Known ) Joseph John , William Simmons , Holloway W . This Joseph died in 1824 in the estate records for him, notables that bought from the estate were Jane Daniel his wife and Staunton Edwards.?
? ?two descendants of William Simmons Daniel have taken y-dna tests one a 37 marker test one Big-Y , the Big-Y haplogroup is R-FT206759 ( kit # 194947) the 37 marker test is # 24752.?
? There are 19 matches in our little group who have taken various levels of Y-dna tests they are :?
? ? ? # 37795? earliest known ancestor Isham Daniel of Chatham NC through his son Littleton and Littleton's son John
? ? ? # 972686 Isham Daniel through his son Jesse?
? ? ? ?There are two more kits that match through Littleton's son David one of them is #10075
? ?Isham Daniel is believed to be the son of John Daniel of Brunswick although primary records are lacking to prove it, we know John had a son Isham we just can't prove for sure the two Isham's are the same.?
? ? Kit # 968445 is a descendant of Joseph Daniel sr. b 1723 d 1794 of Brunswick, the paper trail is pretty solid for this one. Two other kits have a probable connection to Joseph Daniel sr. #182668 & # 491033, another case of not being able to make the connection by paper trail. The earliest known ancestors are Harrison Daniel b abt 1801 d ? in Indiana and Cole Spencer Daniel b 1807 d 1866 possible son of Hezekiah Daniel. Harrison and Hezekiah both being grandson's of Joseph Daniel sr.?
? # 974586 is a descendant of Reese Daniel of Dinwiddie/Prince George and has connections to the Gee family which makes him possibly related to the John Daniel sr and jr of Prince George county.
? ? Going back to Ambrose Daniel, the Daniel families that were in Halifax NC, the ones who lived on Burn Coat and Jacket swamps all appear to be part of Peter Daniel sr's family, the earliest deed record for Peter, that I have found, is for 1744 and he is buying land on Crab Louse branch in Brunswick, the deed says Peter Daniel of Prince George county, so we have the root of this group in Prince George. This was before Dinwiddie county was formed (1752) so I suspect the part of PG they were from became Dinwiddie. We find Randall Daniel in several records as being in Dinwiddie. Looks like he sold out around 1785 and went to Halifax NC. One interesting tid bit I found just recently was from the one order book still existing for Dinwiddie county, it mentions Randall and though not directly connected in these records, is Peyton Randall Daniel, Peyton's son Tillman R has a descendant that is also a y-dna match #76193, my suspicions are Peyton Randall Daniel is a son of Randall Daniel, with Randall being a son of Peter sr. .?
? Another match of interest is ( I do not have the kit number) a descendant of James Daniel (who married Elizabeth West) putting this James both in the vicinity of Peter's family but also a dna match to Ambrose and the other's with Brunswick connections. So no this James is not from the Middelsex group as some trees out there have him.?
? ?There's another James Daniel or it might be the same one, father of Frederick Daniel and most likely David Daniel all of the Halifax and Nash county area, Frederick has a descendant who is also a y-dna match # 838919 and if we have sorted David's line out correctly there is a match ( again I don't have that kit number ) through a Grandson Drewery Daniel b 1812 d 1869..?
? ? I know there needs to be more research on some of this and if anyone has information to either support of refute this I would love to see the info, there are a couple more lines out there one being my line # 199987 + 776172 and a line descending from Josiah Daniel of Rowan NC. # 968336.?
? ?I may not have all the matches perfectly lined up but the dna is beginning to paint a picture for us, if we could get the rest of these kits upgraded to Big -Y it might help some. ( we have 8 so far with one of them not completely processed ) haplogroups are R-FT 206759 ( 5 kits) and R-FT 367829 ( 2 kits)?
? ?Again if you have any other info I would be extremely interested in seeing it.??
