Thomas Daniel, born of Josia, son of James & Jenny Hicks Daniel b 1743/44 Albemarle Co, Va, d 1811 Granville Co, NC
I would like info on the Thomas Kary Daniel also. I have an autosomal dna match for my dad's kit on Ancestry that appears to descend from said Thomas Kary . I have not been able to confirm this Thomas Kary's? connection to any other person or group. My line appears to be connected to Brunswick VA and there were some men with the Cary name there, knowing that , that in itself, may not mean anything? |
Dear Joe, Thomas Cary Daniel is my 3rd great grandfather. His dob is circa 1810 and I believe in Granville Co or Wake Co NC. He married Mary Shipp, bond 16 Jan 1832 in Wake Co NC. ?He is in the census records 1840, 1850 in Wake Co. and 1860 in Robeson Co. (NB- ‘60 census mistakes his middle initial as R). The name Cary came family associations and misspellings from the Union POW records during his imprisonment. He died at the Union prison camp at Pt. Lookout, St Mary’s Co, MD in 4 Mar 1864. I have documentation for his wife and many of his children to the present day. Thomas Cary’s progeny are found in NC and SC in future generations and those are my folks. I live in the same area of SC. Because I am new to this group, I am not sure if this is the proper forum to discuss in further detail our possible connections, but I am eager to do so! I also see that my email address is my forum name…oops. But do get in touch! |
Hey, Elizabeth, Joe, and all,
?
Here's a timeline of info from my records for Thomas Daniel (s/o Josiah) who md. Elizabeth Satterwhite), with some stuff to distinguish between the various contemporary Thomas Daniels in Granville County. Much of this you already have, I know. My comments/questions are in [brackets]. I put XX in front of data that are on trees about Thomas s/o Josiah that I believe are incorrect. The trees at ancestry and familysearch seem to be conflating the records of the various Thomas Daniels of Granville, all distinguishable by the tax, land, court, and probate records.

[Discrepancy: “Josiah's book” shows 9 sons and 3 daus b. by 1786, i.e. one is missing. Son James Key Daniel b. 22 Aug 1766 could be 21, depending on when this list was created. He's not listed under his own name, so I wonder why aren't there 2 polls listed for Josiah.]

I'm not putting more stuff that shows Josiah with tick marks for sons that clearly include Thomas.

Thomas Sr. has 1m 16-26, 1m 26-45, 1m 45+, 2f 16-26, 1f 45+, 7 slaves.
This Thomas Sr. is the one who bought 200a from Joel Pope in Feb 1787 (Granv DB O491) and 249a from Pope in Dec 1787 (Caswell DB E230. The land was in Caswell and Granville). He is in the tax lists on Aaron's Creek for 449a and then later it is called 452a (including in the 1809 and 1811 lists). This is the Thomas who d. 1831, wf Mary d. 1838. Their kids include: Merriman, Jane md. Sterling Harris, Susannah md. Randall Wilkerson, Lilly md. A. G. Moore, William. This Thomas Sr. did live in the Country Line District where Josiah was, but he's on Aaron's Creek, while Josiah is on Grassey Creek/Hay Meadow Branch and Thomas' land purchased from Chesley is on Grassey aroound Blues Mountain. There's no interaction in the records I've found between this Thomas Sr. and the Middlesex Daniels. Thomas Sr. and his kids' records are also found in Caswell and Person counties.

1811? - will of father Josiah – Thomas named in the group of older kids who have already received their shares. [Was his “share” probably the means to buy the 120a from Chesley? Thomas had already moved to Chesley's neighborhood before age 21, interesting to me.]

A War of 1812 Pension Application is attached to Thomas s/o Josiah in a gazillion trees. It's a different Thomas. The application file is free at fold3, clarifying facts abound in it. I think this was the Thomas Daniel of the east county, on Nutbush, md. Elizabeth/Eliza Daniel, she the d/o Joseph and Nelly Daniel. A John Daniel Sr., of Warren County bought 145a on Nutbush in 1816. Thomas Daniel pops out in the tax lists 1816-1823 (at a much better age for service). He is taxed on 145a in Henderson on Nutbush/Crooked Run in 1818-1819.

I haven't found further records in Granville land, court, probate, etc. for Thomas s/o Josiah and Elizabeth..
?
----- XX?
Trees put the 1820 Granville Census Thomas Daniel as belonging to Thomas s/o Josiah and Elizabeth. But this? Thomas is listed next to Nelly Daniel (his mother-in-law, described above in War of 1812 app) and they are in the Henderson District in both the tax lists and the Census.
?
------------?
So, anyone have ideas on where Thomas Daniel and Elizabeth Satterwhite are in 1820-1830? I've had a possible theory for ages, never ground down hard on it. It doesn't fit perfectly, but it's the closest I've found, and Pulaski is “on the way west” to Harris County. Interested in any ideas.
?
1820 Census GA Pulaski.?
Thomas Daniel: [The lack of a couple more boys 0-10 and 10-16 is a real problem.]
1m 0-10 [?Tandy age 9/10 or the Thomas Jefferson age 11 or the Thomas Cary?]
1m 10-16 [?the David age 14 or the Jefferson Jordan age 12 in trees? I don't think there's a David.]
1m 18-26 [in 16-26 but not 16-18 column, so ?the John in trees age 19?]
1m 45+ [?Thomas age 51]
?
2f 10-16 [?Parthenia age 15?]
2f 16-26 [?Sarah age 23? and ?Martha age 16-17 or is she in 10-16 column?]
1f 26-45 [?Elizabeth age 43?]
?
The 1830 Census also shows an Elizabeth Daniel in Pulaski, but the ages and children do not match the 1820 family well enough; I just don't think it's Elizabeth Satterwhite Daniel in the 1830 Pulaski census.
?
I sure wish somebody would write up a records proof of all the children shown as belonging to Thomas Daniel and Elizabeth Satterwhite. The various trees as they stand just seem to show too many kids!
?
-----?
Elizabeth, I don't know about your Thomas Cary Daniel specifically, but there's a young Thomas Daniel in GA Harris near the Daniel/Satterwhite families that looks pretty certain as a son, so your Thomas Cary would be a second son named Thomas born within just a couple years of the other. Also problematic because there are so many Daniels in Wake, and Thomas Cary was still there in 1832 for his marriage, more so since it surely looks like the Daniel/Satterwhite family had left Granville by 1820. My Wake County records are too early to help, but I notice that Allen Rogers, the bondsman for Thomas Cary's 1832 marriage, is maybe the son, b. 1797, of Thomas Rogers and Elizabeth Allen, and that your Thomas Cary named a daughter Martha Rogers Daniel. Is there some namesake stuff going on there that maybe ties them more to the Wake Daniels?
?
And of course the big question is, are there male descendants for yDNA testing, or tests already? What do they indicate??
?
?
Regards from CA, hoping maybe we can sort this all out!

Because it is my own family, lord knows, and we still live in the same area, I know the GA folks are not my direct line people. It does seem like everyone of the Thos & Eliz Satterwhite tribe, except my TC Daniel, hauls off to GA and by the grace of the almighty, for the most part takes the Jefferson name with them, but Chesley, Key and Cary continue to pop up. ?TC died in civil war prison & wife comes to SC with her kids. And you?are correct, Pam, all of the allied family names match up to the present date, obnoxiously so … my aunt is a née Daniel now Allen… including the Robert Elliott on Thos & Eliz Satterwhite’s marriage bond and the Allen Rogers on TC & Mary Shipp’s. That is my current mode of attack. Chesley’s (Josiah’s brother) daughter Martha 1763-1839 m. 1786 George Daniel (not sure who he is yet) but Martha dies at home with daughter Julia in Marion District of SC at Catfish Creek…my own personal Garden of Eden miasma from whence most of both sides (if you can call it that) of my family hails or arrives eventually. It is certainly a repository for surnames coming from Va and Granville County NC and they keep naming kids the same Christian names. One of my blasted husband’s name is Vivian. that’s a little Middlesex joke for you. It is so bad I have started calling the problem person du jour George Foreman. My only Daniel uncle or one of his 2 boys are going to do a Big Y- heavens for little boys…uncle had 5 sisters!? |
