Have started (again) to copy the stuff I brought back from library
at Salt
Lake. Since Enos and Sidney came up again, I’ll just reiterate
what I have
written before. Will continue with McDaniel in some records.
Just a
couple
more notes of that. Then I will shift to some of the Sellers
and Keller
stuff I picked up.
Note that none that follow is new info. I think that I have
listed all
before, but I am trying find out how many McDaniel families were
in the
general area of our Sellers families and if they were related to
me. I
know
that Mack McDaniel left Spots Co VA for
KY and some of these other McDaniel
families came from PA, but emigration patterns make it quite possible
that
they were still related.
In January 1783, Mack McDaniel/McDonald was in Lincoln
Co KY and served
briefly with the Lincoln Co militia guarding the approach to the
Falls of
Ohio (now Louisville). Francis McDonald, John McDonald, and
William
McDonald (at least) were inside the fort at the same time.
There were
serving in the Fayette Co militia. I think these were the
sons of
Enos/Eneas McDaniel. There were two men named Mastin in their
group—Hustin
and Samuel—and Mack McDaniel had land dealings with another Mastin
both in
VA and in KY. By 1790, Mack McDaniel wound up living in what
was then
Fayette Co.

Mac McDaniel (owned property in Woodford but was resident in Fayette)
Enos/Eneas McDaniel lived Westmoreland Co PA.
In Bourbon Co KY by 1776d.
1802 (will rec. Bourbon County) m. 1st Sidney Unknown (she appears
to be
mother of all children); 2nd Frances Cambell 1797 Bourbon Co KY;
3rd
Isabel/Isabella Caldwell 1800 Bourbon Co KY.
In LDS records, I have found several references (not checked out)
to early
Roland McDaniel(s) who would appear to be related, as the name appears
repeatedly in Eneas’ family. The earliest Roland also supposedly
had a
daughter named Sidney. I have listed these before.
Note that I have found a Mason Co KY record which refers to an Enos
McDaniel
a couple of months after this one’s reported death. I cannot
explain it.
Will list later.
Will lists children and the following additional heirs: George
Givens,
Benj. Kendrick, and Chas. Smith Jr. Witnesses were John Clarkson,
Charles
Clarkson, Wm. Kendrick.
Children:
1) Alexander McDaniel m. Elizabeth McCann 1798
2) John McDaniel m. (these are not certain on my part—maybe two different
men) Polly/Mary Hamilton 1792. Another John in the area married
Martha/Patty Carrington 1793--at least I think these are two different
men.
3) Rowland McDaniel m. Lettice Neal 1795
4) Robert McDaniel
5) Francis McDaniel d. Harrison County 1829
m. (prob.) Dolly McNew Jan. 18,
1794
Children: Sidney m. ___ Howard; Polly/Mary m. _____ Hoggins;
Rachel m.
_____ Coonrod; John; Chesiah/Kesiah m. ?John Parrish 1798;
Suffrona m.
?John West 1826; Nancy m. _____ Parker; James; Andrew.
NOTE: There is no widow listed in the will which was written
in 1826.
Will
states that James and Andrew, the youngest, are to be educated.
Executor:
William Tucker. Witnesses: Saml Tucker, Benjamin Ward, Dolly
Ward.
6) Jane McDaniel m. Devore
A Roland McDaniel married Lettice Neal in 1795 in Bourbon
County, I
believe;
however, I have seen records for a John Roland (not John and
Rowland)
McDaniel who married a Hannah Susan Cleveland. By children’s
birthdates,
I’d guess the marriage to have taken place by 1809. I believe
he died in
Missouri. Mack McDaniel’s daughter, Phebe, married a John
Cleveland in
Bracken Co KY in 1798. Cleveland relationship, if any,
is unknown.
I am also looking for possible connections to Max McDaniel’s family.
Mack
McDaniel is buried in the same graveyard with his McDonald/McDaniel
ancestors in Clark Co OH. Max is
descended from an Andrew McDaniel whose
will is referred to in Chalkley. Andrew died in 1799 Berkley
Co VA.
Andrew’s son William (think the latter) lived for a time in Harrison
Co KY.
One son is listed as born Boone’s Fork, Harrison Co and a daughter,
Jane,
married Isaac Yarnall in 1801 Harrison
Co KY.
Whether all of these McDonald/McDaniel families are related or not,
I
cannot
tell as yet, but I’ll work on it.
See next note for more Mason Co entries.
