In making the long trek from Alabama to Texas - it took them six weeks - Martha Smith Daniel rode in a carriage. Theophilus, the son of Josiah and Martha, who was then 4 years old, and Gus Colbert - a slave of the same age - rode in the feed box on the back of the wagon where they fed the oxen. The oldest slaves were Uncle Bob and Aunt Ann Colbert. Josiah, who was always called "Squire", later deeded them the land on which they lived. Their descendants still live on this property. Josiah was a soldier in Bradley's Company in the confederate Army. Martha Daniel died from a spider bite in 1865. Within the year, Josiah married his sister-in-law, Lucy Sample Smith - the wife of Martha's younger brother. She had been left a widow with two small children. She and Josiah had one daughter - Lula. This second wife died in 1868. Josiah died of flux in 1879. They are all buried in the Jamerson Cemetery near Wadeville, south of the town of Kerens, Texas. Josiah had a brother, John, who settled in the Mexia, Texas, vicinity. He later lived with his son, Bruce, in Waco, Texas. He died there. John also had a son, Leonard (this is incorrect), and other children. There were other children of Theophilus, Sr., but we do not know the number or names. It is reported that two of his sons were killed in the Siege of Vicksburg. I have not been able to verify this, however, in the cemetery where the soldiers were buried in Vicksburg, there are only two by the name of Daniel buried there. One is W. J. Daniel, Co. K, 34th Ga. died April 22, 1863 at City Hospital, buried Potters Field Grave No. 1030 (UDC Book page 29). The other is W. Daniel, Co. Q 41st Ga. Died June 20, 1863 at City Hospital, buried Potters Field (UDC Book, page 28). Be careful, some of this information is incorrect, especially regarding Leonard Daniel who was Josiah's brother, not his nephew. Also, John Adams Daniel finally settled in Erath Co., TX after a brief stay in Mexia area with his brother, Leonard.
In 1863, his home was chosen by the Court of Navarro County to be the voting place for "beate no. 3."
There is a Josiah Goodson on the 1850 census and the 1850 slave census for Pike Co. (next to Crenshaw Co.), AL. Could this be a connection to his mother Penelope Goodson?
