This family legend was told by my father and I have read it in other family record - many family records have the same and with documents in Charleston, SC "When John was a very young man, he owned a merchant ship he ran to London to bring needed supplies to Charles Town. In those days there were pirates on the seas who stayed close to the ports to capture the incoming and outgoing ships, take all the valuables, then sink the ships if not needed in their pirate business. Coming in from London with a cargo of merchandise, Capt. Daniell saw a pirate ship coming toward him. The wind being in the pirates' favor, the Captain knew he would be overtaken before he could reach port. In those days, sailors didn't wear shoes, so Capt. Daniell had his crew to put on shoes, beat up glass and scatter it on the ship deck. Then they threw out the anchor and prepared for battle. The pirate crew jumped on deck without shoes and the broken glass cut their feet. Then Daniell's crew took charge, captured the pirate crew and their ship which was heavy laden with valuables and quite a quantity of money. Daniell sold the pirate ship and his own, quit the Sea, bought a large plantation, where he lived the remainder of his life. He knew nothing about farming, but as was common in those days, he hired an overseer to take charge." All document prove this old family legend to be true of John Daniell.
