The profiles are locked. I happen to have gotten drawn into the Daniel / Daniels today from some allied family about 200 years later,, but there were quite a number of unmerged exact duplicates.. so the line seems more complete.

when I saw a reference to Find a Grave or FamilySearch or Wiki as the source, then I went there and most are similar. I left links downstream where I had to create new to branch to the connection.

I am contacting you here because the Family Search site has this note about DNA testing and his father.
https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/L62H-DLY
has an advisory.

>>Y DNA testing of descendants of at least two sons of James Daniel shows that their Y DNA does not match the Y DNA of descendants of his supposed "brothers" William Jr. and Robert Daniel. This, along with the wording of the will of William Daniel Sr., suggests that James was not the biological son of William Daniel Sr. He was likely a child of Jochebed and her previous husband, but was raised as a son of William Daniel.

Updated by adding Unknown Partner DNA as father of James Daniel, Sr. and Capt. William Daniel, of Middlesex County as adoptive father.

Thank you for the alert.

Looks like some folks are missing--- this quote:
"DNA has solved the dilemna: there are tests for Chesley Daniel (1730-1814) and Josiah Daniel (1743-1811) proven sons of James of Albemarle and Jane Hicks. Then at last I found a descendant of James Daniel (1747-1820, md. Sally Cocke) and the results are a perfect 37/37 match for them, thus confirming the records and finalizing the proof that James is the son of James Daniel of Albemarle and Jane Hicks!"

The graph shows sons of Capt. Wm Daniel:
William, Jr
Robert
James
Robert

I don't have a Daniels ancestor as far as I know

sorry---- last one is Richard (not two Roberts)

James Daniel's DNA links to a Samuel Davis (Jochabed's first husband?)

The DNA match of James Daniel is to a Samuel Davis b: c1799 in KY.
