DANIEL FAMILY INFORMATION
I recently sat down and reviewed all the Daniel family information in my files to see if there was any information which I had overlooked and which might assist me in finding the firm connection between the Virginia Daniel family (James Daniel and Elizabeth Montague on the paternal side and Travers Daniel and Frances Moncure on the maternal side) and James Thomas Daniel, my paternal great grandfather. Information provided by the descendents of James Thomas Daniel and Alice Mead Gray indicates that the parents of James Thomas Daniel were James Daniel and Alice Moncure Daniel. When I attempt to confirm these proposals through other sources, I run into the following:
- I am unable to confirm that the James Daniel who married Alice Moncure Daniel is a child of James Daniel and Elizabeth Montague.
- I am
unable to match any of the names of any children sired by James Daniel and
Ann Moncure Daniel with those offered. This means that I am unable to confirm
that James Daniel and Ann Moncure Daniel had any
children named Leroy S. Daniel, Mary Daniel and James Thomas Daniel as
they appear in the 1850 census in
- I am unable to confirm that the proposed parents of James Daniel and Ann Moncure Daniel had any siblings named Martha Daniel or Mary Daniel as is proposed. These aunts were supposed to assume care of the 3 Daniel children after the death of their last parent.
The following is a summary of information gathered to see if we can find support for the proposals made by the Daniel descendents of JTD and AMG:
- Ann
M. Daniel (supposed mother of JTD) died in Muscogee Co.,
- There
is a Mary Daniel (1801-1854) buried in

the 1850 census for Sumter County, Ga., the following is found on page
207: Mary Daniel (age 51) is found
in dwelling 889, family 889 living with Leroy S. Daniel, (age 23, born
Ga.), Mary Daniel (age 20 born Ga.), and James Daniel (age 18, born
Ga.). There is no “T” between
James and Daniel. This is the only
18 year old James Daniel found in the 1850 census living in

A SAD DEATH
Mr. James T. Daniel dies suddenly at his residence
Seldom has it been our duty to chronicle as sad a death as that of Mr. James T. Daniel, which occurred very suddenly at his residence last night about 8 o’clock. He had just returned from his place of business and had not taken a seat when he heard a knock at the door. He responded in person and found Mr. John W. Cargill and wife who had called to spend the evening with him and his family. Mr. Daniel invited them in and stepped into another room for a chair. He returned in a minute and while the inmates of the room were engaged in pleasant conversation, he suddenly fell to the floor unconscious. Mr. Cargill ran to him and raised his head, and others went for assistance and remedies, but after gasping three or four times, he quietly passed away with his head on Mr. Cargill’s arm. Dr. Terry arrived in a short time and gave it as his opinion that death was probably caused by the formation of a clot of blood near the heart. He had been complaining of pain in his right side for some time, but he appeared as well as usual yesterday, and spent the day attending to his mercantile business.
When death enters a happy family circle and without warning
snatches away the beloved husband and father, it is indeed sad. No man was kinder or more indulgent to his
family than Mr. Daniel, and none can imagine the deep grief which his sudden
death causes them. Though he was always
quiet and unostentatious in his manner, he was a generous- hearted and noble
man, and we dare say he bore no ill will toward any one. He was born in this city on the 25th
of April, 1832 and all of his life has been spent here, except a short time
that he resided in Eufaula. His parents
died when he was but an infant, and he was left to fight the battle of life
alone. When he grew to manhood, he
married Miss Holland, of this city, and to them were
born two sons, Harry and Edward. After
her death, he married Miss Alice Gray, of this city, who survives him. To them were born two sons and five
daughters. Mr. Daniel was a brave Confederate
soldier, and did noble service for his country in times which tried the souls
of men. He left
The funeral will take place from his late residence on the north corner of Mercer and St. Clair streets at 3:30 o’clock this afternoon.

TO ALL INTERESTED PARTIES
The following is a summary report in connection with DNA testing activities undertaken by me earlier this year. For the last 5 years, I have attempted to trace my Daniel family lineage through my father, William Joseph Daniel (1908-1998) through my grandfather Harry Holland Daniel (1859-1919) to my great-grandfather, James Thomas Daniel (1832-1884). While I have no problems tracing and confirming my lineage back to James Thomas Daniel, I have had no success tracing my lineage before James Thomas Daniel despite receiving much information in connection with my investigations. While stories of potential ancestors abound, I have been unable to confirm such stories with documented proof or corroboration by other descendents. Early this year, I received information about a Daniel DNA website where DNA testing was done and compared with other Daniel family members submitting DNA for comparison. I decided to undergo DNA testing to see if I could use the information to break through the logjam associated with the ancestors prior to James Thomas Daniel (1832-1884). In April, 2004, I submitted DNA samples to the website for testing. I initially paid for testing covering the 12 Marker Y chromosome tests. The testing was completed in early June and the results showed an exact match with another test subject identified as follows:
Donnie L. Daniel
E-mail address: dld39482@bellsouth.net
I should comment that I had also paid to have the 25 Marker and 37 Marker Y chromosome tests done. After the initial 12 Marker test showed an exact match between Donnie Daniel and me, Donnie elected to have the 25 Marker test run on his sample and it too came out an exact match with my 25 Marker test sample. Donnie has yet to arrange to have the 37 Marker test run.
After these tests were done and published on the website,
Donnie and I exchanged correspondence geared towards trying to find out who our
most recent common ancestor might be.
Of course, I could only prove my line back to James Thomas Daniel
(1832-1884). Donnie provided information
indicating that his line went back to Robert Daniel who was born in
Basis Donnie and me having exact matching tests for the 12 Marker and 25 Marker tests, the Daniel DNA website provided me with the following report dealing with our respective matching DNA test:
QUOTE:
The closeness of the relationship depends on several factors. If there is documentary evidence that can tie these two men together, for instance they lived in the same area, associated with the same people, etc. then the relationship would likely be pretty recent. If there are no indications of how the two men are related, then we are just left with statistical data. In the case of 25/25 marker match, there is 90% probability that your common ancestor lived in the past 23 generations. That would be in the last 575 years, or so. There is a 50% probability that he lived in the past 7 generations, or about 175 years. You can narrow this further if you have an exact 37/37 marker match.

UNQUOTE
From the foregoing, Donnie and I have a common ancestor and we have a 95% probability that this ancestor lived within the last 760 years. If we drop the probability down to 90%, the reduce the years to 575. We can improve our chances somewhat by having Donnie take the 37 marker test and compare it with mine but then the respective years drop to 400 and 525.
FURTHER TEST RESULTS COMMENTS:
If any of the recipients of this letter wish to go to the website and view the test results, please feel free to do so. Donnie and I are designated in the test results as follows:
For Richard B. Daniel, see test result person No. 20061
For Donnie L. Daniel, see test result person No. 12540
You can view the participants information by going to the following website:
Once you have pulled up the website, you can enter any of the site areas but the two most interesting areas are “PARTICIPATING LINES” and “RESULTS”.
For viewing the lineage of the test participants, click on “PARTICIPATING LINES”. For example, my information is shown under James Thomas Daniel (20061). Donnie Daniel’s information is shown under Robert Daniel (12540). My DNA sample was assigned No. 20061 and Donnie’s was assigned No. 12540. We each submitted a write-up about the earliest ancestor to whom we could prove lineage.
While reviewing “PARTICIPATING LINES”, you should view William Daniel (4163). According to information provided me by Marylee Mitcham, we are supposedly descended from this Daniel line. However, my DNA only matches 3 of the 12 Markers. It is extremely doubtful that this is our line.
Other information I have reviewed from submissions by others to Ancestry.com indicates that Robert Daniel (12540) is descended from Thomas Daniel (4379) and Benjamin Daniel (13086). A comparison of DNA samples from the 12 Marker tests shows that no markers from Donnie and me match sample (4379) and only 2 of 12 match sample (13086). It is therefore doubtful that Robert Daniel (12540) is descended from them or else Donnie is not descended from Robert Daniel (12540).
WHAT DO WE DO NEXT?
As I see it, we can do the following:
- Donnie can get the 37 Marker test and see if he can match me for all 37 markers. This will tighten our genetic bond even further. I will see if Donnie wants to do this.
- We will continue to monitor the website hoping that other participants will submit a sample and we will have another match. It is possible that new matching participants may be able to provide the missing information that Donnie and I lack.
That is about all I can suggest at this time. I shall continue to work on this Daniel thing as long as I breath. If anyone receiving this letter can provide any additional information, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you.
