Joseph Job Daniel

A Patriot of the American Revolution for NORTH CAROLINA - SOUTH CAROLINA with the rank of PRIVATE. DAR Ancestor # A029652

Service: Revolutionary War 11/4/1775 to 5/1777

Some of these DANIEL children have not been posted in the past... The notes

mention one James DANIEL family member who moved to Michigan circa 1830, in

case this is of interest.

The history of most is not known... maybe the birthdates might help someone.

The marriage of Clarissa DANIEL to John EVERETT and then their son's marriage

to Matilda PANGBOURNE, plus the WYNN and DANIEL marriage are ADDITIONAL

points which indicate that I have my correct Tennessee distillery DANIEL

families, as these marriages, in particular, were written about by my

grandmother [1869~1969] ~ The Joseph DANIEL, b: 14 JAN 1745, New Jersey who

married Elizabeth CALLAWAY and were the grandparents to Jasper Newton "Jack"

DANIEL of sour mash whiskey fame ~ did not just hit these shores at

Revolutionary War time. Also, this history of these DANIELs might explain

why Joseph never had any family visitors and thus give the impression he had

just arrived here.

The Daniel(s) Family in the New World

From Ireland> New Jersey(1680)> New Brunswick(1783)> Ontario(1811-1820)>

Michigan (1830-1850s)

Neal Daniel came from Ireland to Salem Co., New Jersey about 1680/81 ~ Bought

a tract of land from the widow, Annie SALTER, in the forks of Stoe Creek, in

New Jersey.

NOTE: Nothing found to substantiate that Neal DANIEL was born in Ireland ~

merely that he came here from Ireland with other Quaker Friends.

His son, James DANIEL, bc: 1670 ~ died before Dec 19, 1726, Stow Creek,

Salem, New Jersey. He was a member of the Quaker faith as well, and

apparently a man of some standing. He was memorialized in a book called "A

Collection of Memorials Concerning Divers deceased Ministers and others of

the people called Quakers." He married first Jane PATTON and second Isabella

DAVID Collier. [After death of James DANIEL, she married Abel NICHOLSON, b:

2 MAY 1672 ~ Son of Samuel Nicholson and Anne ABEL, or ABLE, who came to

Jersey in 1675]

Child of James DANIEL and Isabella DAVID:

1. William Daniel born March 26, 1721 in Salem Co., New Jersey. He married

Rebecca VICKERY about 1742. From that marriage came 9 children:

1.a. James DANIEL, b. 17 MAR 1743

1.b. Joseph DANIEL, b. 14 JAN 1745 ~ d: 1813/14 TN ~ or two years after

the big quake ~ M: Elizabeth CALLAWAY

1.c. Thomas DANIEL, b. 23 JUN 1747

1.d. Sarah DANIEL, b. 2 NOV 1749 ~ d: 30 MAY 1835 at Burford ~ Married:

(Captain) Daniel BOWEN, b: 22 APR 1741 [Loyalist] ~ Son of Jonathan BOWEN and

[perhaps] Rachel Remington (sometimes given as Pennington).

1.e. William DANIEL, b. 25 JUL 1753

1.f. John DANIEL, b. 16 OCT 1755 [Loyalist]

1.g. Henry DANIEL, b. 4 DEC 1757

1.h. Joel DANIEL, b. 10 OCT 1759 [Loyalist] ~ M: Clarissa WINN or WYNN

1.i. Edmund DANIEL, b. 14 MAR 1762

The above Sarah was almost certainly the Sarah Daniel who married Capt.

Daniel Bowen of Roadstown, NJ. In the 3rd Month, 30th day, 1767 Sarah

Bowen (late Daniel) was dismissed for marrying contrary to discipline

(Henshaw, p 64). This probably occurred because the Bowens were Baptists.

Col. William Daniel Bowen (the SON OF of Daniel Bowen and Sarah Daniel) was

born Dec. 7, 1778 at Roadstown, Cumberland Co., New Jersey. He was

married on Feb. 13, 1803 at Cornwallis, Kings Co., Nova Scotia to Sarah

DANIEL who was very likely the daughter of the above Joel (b 1759) and

thus William Daniel Bowen's first cousin.

During the Revolutionary War, Joel and John DANIEL were loyalists who

served in the British army. After the war the Bowens and John DANIEL

settled in Nova Scotia and Joel DANIEL went to New Brunswick.

In the early part of the 19th century William Daniel Bowen kept a journal

in which he listed the names and birthdates of all of his wife's siblings:

Children of Joel DANIEL and Clarissa WINN:

1. Sarah DANIEL, b: 4 JAN 1786 ~ Married Col. William Daniel BOWEN, b: 7 DEC

1778 [first cousins]

2. Henry DANIEL, b: 13 MAR 1788

3. John DANIEL, b: 11 OCT 1789

4. Rebecca DANIEL, b: 11 OCT 1791

5. James DANIEL, b: 16 JUL 1793 ~ the James who moved to Michigan~???

6. Clarissa DANIEL, b: 8 MAR 1795 ~ Married John EVERITT (Family below)

7. Elizabeth DANIEL, b: 7 FEB 1797

8. Maria DANIEL, b: 31 OCT 1798

9. Lawrence DANIEL, b: 8 AUG 1800

10. Anne DANIEL, b: 14 SEP 1802 ~ d: 2 JUL 1803

11. Isabell(a) DANIEL, b: 28 DEC 1803

In addition to Sarah and her husband William Daniel Bowen (b: 1778) ~ Henry,

John, James, Lawrence and Isabell DANIEL all migrated to either Brant or

Oxford Counties in Ontario between 1811 and 1820. William Daniel Bowen (the

son of Colonel William Daniel Bowen and his wife Sarah Daniel(s) moved with

his

family to Michigan in the 1850s. James DANIEL also moved to MICHIGAN

probably by 1830. It is believed that the rest of their siblings stayed in

Ontario, Canada.

Clarissa (who until recently had been transcribed from William Daniel

Bowen's journal as "Charles" because of the difficulty in reading the

writing) remained in New Brunswick and married John Everett. Elizabeth

also seems to have remained in New Brunswick, at least initially. She

married possibly first James McLeod and later William Dickie.

There is a good deal of circumstantial evidence that supports the idea

that Joel DANIEL was the father of the siblings but not sufficient documentary

evidence to satisfy, for example, the meticulous United Empire Loyalist

organization. There is also some contradictory documentary evidence that

the father was "Henry Daniel." For awhile, we thought that the Henry in

question was Joel and John's sibling. But that Henry (b 1757) seems to

have died before 1764. In that year William Daniel made out his will and

he specifically mentioned his "8 children." There was no mention of Henry

who was apparently dead by then.

Here is a copy of the key passage from the will:

"1764, Aug 8, Daniel, William of Alloways Creek Precinct, Salem County, New

Jersey. Will of: Wife, Rebecca Daniel, 1/3 of my estate; and the other 2/3

I give to my eight children, Joseph, Thomas, Sarah, William, John, Joel,

Edmund and James, when they are 21." (Documents on Colonial History, 1st

series - vol

xxxii, Calendar of New Jersey Wills, Administrations, etc, vol IV -

1761-1770, ed. By A. Van Doren Honeyman, 1928)

Biography of Joel DANIEL:

DANIEL, JOEL. He was a Quaker carpenter from Alloways Creek, New Jersey.

His wife, Clarissa WINN, had at one time, been a resident of Staten

Island, NY. Joel DANIEL married out of the Society of Friends but was not

charged for the offense. He was disowned by the Salem New Jersey Monthly

Meeting on August 26, 1776 for enlisting in the army. During the war he

served as a Corporal in the Loyalist New Jersey Volunteers. After the war

he emigrated to Canada and became a grantee at Penniac and/or a grantee or

resident of Sussex. In 1787 he was living at Maugerville, New Brunswick.

(Source: BFHA, p. 27) (LNB, p 275). (from Theodore C. Holmes, Loyalists to

Canada: The 1783 Settlement of Quakers and Others at Passamaquoddy,"

Maine, Picton Press, 1992.)

After Joel DANIEL died in 1807 his wife Clarissa WINN married John McLeod and

moved (about 1820) to Ontario where she died in 1831. Her obit appeared in

the Christian Guardian, Toronto, issue date 18th Jan 1832:

"On 29th November 1831, Mrs. Clarisy McLeod, in the 66th year of her age,

a native of New Jersey. At the winding up the American Revolution she

removed with her first husband, Joel Daniels, to the Province of New

Brunswick. She came to this Province (Ontario) with her husband John

McLeod, and a large family, about 12 years ago."

When Henry Daniel (b 1788) died in 1832 his wife requested that his

"stepfather" John McLeod be appointed one of the executors. There is also

an 1812 "memorial" by James Daniel to his father Joel. These documents,

along with other circumstantial information, suggest that Joel is the

father of the siblings.

Marriages ~ New Jersey

White, Lydia, and John Daniels, Morris River, NJ ~ 1759 Aug. 22 Married:

Sear(s), Sarah, and Jeremiah Daniels, Cape May, New Jersey 1780 Sept. 22

1. About 1680 Neal Daniel and his son James (b abt 1675) immigrate to

Salem County NJ from Ireland. They were Quakers. It is thought that Neal

also had an Aaron, and William DANIEL(S).

2. James DANIEL had (at least) three boys: James (b. 1704), Aaron and William

(b abt 1721) ~ James, Jr. and Aaron have not been mentioned here.

3. William DANIEL married Rebecca Vickery and had the following children:

James b 17 may 1743; Joseph b 14 mar 1745; Thomas b. 23 aug 1747; Sarah b 2

jan 1749; William b 25 sept 1753; John b. 16 dec 1755; Henry b 4 feb 1757;

Joel b 10 dec 1759; Edmond b 14 mar 1762.

4. Don't know what became of James, Jr. and Aaron DANIEL(s).

5. Of William and Rebecca's children, Sarah marries Daniel Bowen and

eventually moves to Canada. Henry and Joel also move to Canada. Joseph

eventually moved to Tennessee ~ Don't know what became of the rest of the

children.

6. William and Rebecca were Quakers and so it is a good bet that their

children were as well. Aaron and James, Jr. were probably Quakers too.

7. There was also another DANIEL family from New England, some of whom

moved to New Brunswick after the Rev War. They have not been tracked.

Salem Quarterly - the Quaker Salem Quarterly Meeting. Southern NJ 1675-1990.

pg 218.

Son of Neale DANIEL, the immigrant:

James DANIEL, [1670~1726] 1684, Quaker Minister who prepared the first

English-Lenni Lenape vocabulary. He as a member of the Alloways Creek

preparative meeting and lived at Stow Creek (near a place now called Canton).

The passage also mentioned that James DANIEL learned the Indian language as a

boy. James apparently left some sort of a diary in which he stated that when

he arrived in that part of the world nearly all of the inhabitants were

Indians. He was complaining that in his older age the Indians had been forced

out.

NOTE: This is the same James DANIEL who travelled back and forth to Ireland,

other countries, and many other places on these shores doing in his religious

works during his life span. I also believe it was a 1688 yearly Quaker

meeting in Philadelphia that he first brought up the sins of slavery and

doing away with it ~ which was not adopted by the faith until 75 to 100 years

later.

James DANIEL, [1670~1726] wrote an interesting account of the Indians from

the time ofthe first Europeans landing. He described the Indians as a

peaceful and quiet people, until the spirituousliquor was introduced among

them. Thealcohol then produced a radical change among them and they became

troublesomeand much more difficult to get along with as neighbors. [James%E2%80%99

work should be in the New JerseyArchives ~ it was still available in 1875.]

Friends Philadelphia Yearly Meeting: 1687 ~ Formal recognition by Friends of

"a" specific testimony against the sale of liquor to the Indians.

[Suspecting that this may have been the same James DANIEL.]

FENWICK's COLONY:

Bradway Keasbey, the son of Edward 2d, and Elizabeth Bradway Keasbey, was

born in 1730; he married and settled on part of James DANIELs, Sr., estate,

but whether he purchased the property of one of the Daniels' family or not, I

have no definite knowledge. Neal Daniels emigrated from Ireland to this

country in 1681, and purchased a tract of land of Annie Salter, in the forks

of Stoe Creek, and it was as good a soil as there is in that section of the

county. His son, James Daniels, was born in Ireland; he has left behind him

the most interesting and correct account of the Indians, at the time of the

first Europeans landed here. He describes them as peacable and quiet people,

until spirituous liquor was introduced among them. The alcohol produced a

radical change among them, they were then often troublesome and more

difficult to get along with as neighbors.

Important stuff here

http://listsearches.rootsweb.com/th/read/DANIEL/2001-04/0987818034Also, that file of rejected/suspended pensions at

<http://www.tngenweb.org/revwar/index.html>; regarding Joab "Job" and

Elizabeth DANIEL. This didn't make sense to me ~ unless it was later

corrected.

As to my Hardy Holman Sanders being a child of William's ~ these papers don't

help me a bit because there is nothing there to confirm which reads only:

"(2.) Holman Sanders (born about 1816), who was the father of George

Sanders, a Confederate soldier, and others." Zip that's it.

Here are my problems:

1. According to my grandmother and her daughters, our Hardy was indeed

related to the William Sanders who married into the Daniel family, but he was

an uncle or brother to our Hardy. Privately, I will tell you that when one

of my aunts divorced back in the very late 30s, my grams just about never did

get over it ~ heard about it for years because there had never been a divorce

on either side of our families. Well, if Anne Daniel Sanders did indeed

divorce William for desertion, then someone has the wrong "Holman" (per the

Motlow papers). I've had those to tell me they have seen the divorce papers

or have a copy, but no one has ever told me where to find or give me a copy.

2. Sharon Hill, in her Daniel family group sheets, has our Hardy H. Sanders

marrying a #2 spouse on February 15, 1844 to Martha Catherine "Patsy"

Phillips. ("35,000 TN Marriage Records and Bonds 1783-1870" Vol. 3 O-Z,

Lucas and Sheffield, page 150 ~ HENRY Sanders + Patsy Phillips on Feb 15,

1844, Franklin County.) As you note, it reads Henry and not Hardy.... so now

I have those telling me that our Hardy was actually Henry Hardy Holman

Sanders ~ not true on the Henry, nor an 1844 marriage.

In the first place, our Hardy married Catherine Anne Clampet on September 28,

1835 in Madison County, Alabama where her parents lived and then they went to

live near Lost Creek, Franklin County, Tennessee where Hardy was from. They

didn't stop having children until nearly 1860, or just before they moved to

Marshall County, Alabama. This was along with Elizabeth and Nimrod Sandridge

~ which also makes me wonder if our Hardy and Elizabeth were not brother and

sister to William who married Anne Daniel. (Since Elizabeth was omitted from

Motlow's papers back in 1911 or 1946 which ever should be the correct date of

these papers.)

Also, there was a Holman Sanders, born in Grundy County, Tennessee with a

brother William who were the children of James SANDERS. I suspect this was

the James who remarried, had more children, and left the children from his

first marriage out of his will. And, he may or may not have been our Hardy's

father as there were about 30 plus Hardys running around during the same time

period.

According to Grams, the James "Jimmie Dry" Sanders was related..... and a

grandmother called "Jennie" which I won't bore you with the details on these,

but something just isn't correct regarding our Hardy's history with the

DANIEL family. Also,......

I have a copy of a deed dated 1856 whereby Hardy H. Sanders sold to Anny

Waggoner, I believe 56 acres. Why was the deed made to only her.... why

didn't it include John Waggoner, her then husband? Was it land that belonged

to her and William originally? What were the land fights about later in 1860

after Annie died, which appears to name our Hardy and Elizabeth ~ names

other grandchildren of Annie's but not Hardy's nor Elizabeth's ~ something

I'm missing here...... very confusing. I do know, from Grams, that whatever

happened regarding land created a chism between everyone that was never

forgiven. I realize all I'm writing doesn't necessarily pertain to you and

your Daniels, maybe I'm just using you as a sounding board since I'm about at

wits end. Not only does the lack of information in the Motlow papers

regarding the child Holman Sanders create problems for me, but the Daniel

family group sheets done by Sharon Hill in the past ten years, just makes

things worse for me.

There is also someone that has convinced others that a Isaac "Dock" Sanders,

born 1858, was a son of William S. "Boone" Sanders who was a son of Annie

Daniel. But that isn't true either, as I well remember Dock's children as a

child, and they were the nephew and nieces of my grandfather, Andrew Masten

Sanders ~ with this particular Isaac "Dock" being his younger brother.

Dianna, I still had your address in my book, and I well remember my

disappointment at not being able to receive your information. (You didn't

send me a book though.) I am in the process of changing servers and getting

someone to help me clean out and fix up everything; and hopefully teach me

about this confounded box, but, I would be more than happy to pay you for

sending your files through the US mails, if it be convenient for you to do

so. And, I certainly hope I didn't upset you, or anyone for that matter, by

sending to the list what is on these papers as that was the last thing in

this world I wanted to do. Annie

Good Morning Dianna, I see your sleeping habits are about like mine. (Your

message came in on the Daniel list at 3 something this morning.) Any more,

seems that sometimes, I'm up and down all night.

As to the DANIEL posts made. I wondered about some things written (or

omitted) in those papers myself like the omission of Geneva Elizabeth and

also Annie's daughter (?), Elizabeth Sanders who married first Tillman Smith

and then Nimrod Sandridge. You probably have a copy from which I sent the

information ~ It came from (stamped) "Project Preservation" April 25, 1990,

Franklin County" ~ Library. Appears some of the information is dated 1911

and some 1946.

My initial reason, other than to answer some connections for those who had

been asking about a so-and-so Daniel possibly being related to Gentleman

Jack, was to see if I could find someone with more knowledge regarding Anne

and William Sanders' children, plus the CALL individual who was in business

with Jack two or three years at the beginning. This answer I did find. (My

husband is a CALL from the same area.)J. Sanders,

I am searching for Elizabeth Andress (Andrews) Calaway's antecedants. She was born in 1757(Where?Scotland/England) and died in 1855 in NC. She married Joseph Job Daniel in Wayne Co., NC in 1778 and they lived in New Bern, NC when he entered service and when he returned from service. Joseph Job Daniel (Lawrence Co.,TN) died 1814 and buried in Franklin Co., TN. I have a record of only three children, Abner Daniel, the oldest who died young, William Daniel, and Isaac Calaway Daniel. There were others, I'm sure, for there were nephews or grandnephews named Motlow. I do not have a record of Reuben as a son. From what I have learned about this family history, it is replete with legend and tradition. Elizabeth Calaway married an Andress (1772)in Scotland before marrying Joseph Job Daniel in NC. I have learned a lot from Revolutionary War Pension application files.

A bill was introduced in US Senate by the late Sen. K. D. mcKellar, June 1949, to erect a monument at the grave of Elizabeth Daniel at Ridgeville, Moore Co., TN "having a suitable inscription" and "costing approximately $886 the amount of pension due her." Her pension claim was rejected originally.

Would appreciate any information that you have that might help me in my search. Thanks.

Tangentially relevant commentary regarding the surname "Daniel":

From the Hebrew personal name Daniel ‘God is my judge’, borne by a major prophet in the Bible. The major factor influencing the popularity of the personal name (and hence the frequency of the surname) was undoubtedly the dramatic story in the Book of Daniel, recounting the prophet’s steadfast adherence to his religious faith in spite of pressure and persecution from the Mesopotamian kings in whose court he served: Nebuchadnezzar and Belshazzar (at whose feast Daniel interpreted the mysterious message of doom that appeared on the wall, being thrown to the lions for his pains). The name was also borne by a 2nd-century Christian martyr and by a 9th-century hermit, the legend of whose life was popular among Christians during the Middle Ages; these had a minor additional influence on the adoption of the Christian name. Among Orthodox Christians in Eastern Europe the name was also popular as being that of a 4th-century Persian martyr, who was venerated in the Orthodox Church.

Irish: reduced form of McDaniel, which is actually a variant of McDonnell, from the Gaelic form of Irish Donal (equivalent to Scottish Donald), erroneously associated with the Biblical personal name Daniel. See also O’Donnell.
