Shared note

His descendants are traced on Chart #1, Jan 1977, by James C. Daniel, son of Clarence B. Daniel, using the notes & letters compiled by Chester McDonald (Abt 1964) and received from James L. Daniel of Honoraville, AL in 1975; also census records where noted and personal knowledge. More detailed information and traditions will be found in the Research Volume (cited herein as "CEMcD notes"). Theophilus's father William "Will" Daniel, along with Theophilus and Ephriam (relationship not given) also purchased government land along Pintlalla Creek a few miles west of Hope Hull and south of U.S. 80 Highway. Around the middle of the decade of the 1820's, the Daniel families migrated southward into Butler County, AL (that eastern portion which is now Crenshaw Co.) (Part of this area also became part of Lowndes Co. from 1830 to 1866.) Will Daniel's sons, Theophilus, Francis Marion, Thomas along with Ephriam Daniel purchased Federal lands along Patsiliga and Camp's Creeks. The above is mostly from Broyce McCormack's notes. The identity of "Will" and the relationship of Ephriam are supposed, due to the fact that they all purchased land on the same day with consecutive numbers. The brother William seems to have remained in Georgia, probably near Hancock County where the Ellis family resided at this time. However, he could have first gone to AL with his relatives. Ephriam is shown, with a large family, in 1840, either 40-50 or 60-70. If he is 40-50, he is of an age with Thomas, younger than Theo & FM; and probably a cousin. That leaves the older man, 60-70 to be the father, William "Will". If this is Will with Ephriam, who is the old lady, 80-90, with Theo. The two separate old folks can just as well be parents of the two wives. This Ephriam is probably the 55 year old, born in SC, with wife Marie, 45, and 6 children. Therefore 45 in 1840. (CEMcD notes, p. 66) Ephriam and Theo were living close enough together to be counted on the same day. A Theophilus DANNELS and a Martha Dannel joined, in 1805, the Black Creek Baptist Church, located near Dovesville, Darlington Co, SC, near Chesterfield and Marlboro counties which were formed in 1798 from the Cheraws District. The next year a William DANNEL joined, probably brother, not father, of Theo. Theophilus Dannels joined 2 Nov 1805 It is also noted that there were several Goodsons, a YOUNG family, and Rev. Coleman, pastor, in that congregation. On 4 Dec 1806, Theo and Martha Dannels were dismissed, listed consecutively, but not as Theo and "wife" as were couples dismissed the same day. No "proof" yet, that this is our Theo. Next heard from on 3 May of 1807 when Theophilus & wife are received by letter at Darien Church, Washington Co, GA, now Hancock Co, just over the line in the small community of Linton, near Sparta. Then, 29 Feb 1812, Theo & Wm. are being "visited " for not "filling their seat". There is a listing for Theophilus Daniel on the Georgia Archives website that says "JP, 99th Dist, Wash. Co., Jan 18, 1813 - (JP 1813-1817, p. 76). I don't know if this means he was a justice of the peace or if he just resided in that district. More research needed. Wm. by experience and Theo by letter, were received on 6 March 1813 (a list) and 3 Apr 1813, Penny Daniel "by ex" but in a list headed "by letter." And lastly, 17 Dec 1817, Theophilus Daniel & wife are dismissed by letter. (These records, GA Archives Drawer 148 Box 53 & Drawer 21, Box 58, different Darien church records, but ARE THERE TWO THEO's?) Since " The Great Division" occurred in the mid 1830's; there is probably a record "someplace" of them being received "by letter" in Alabama between 1818-1820, depending on the time they were wandering. Theophilus bought land in 1818 through the Milledgeville, Baldwin Co, GA land office. He and Elias Goodson on 20 July 1819 took out land at the Cahaba, GA land office on land in the present city of Montgomery. The next month he did the same land #7904 and with consecutive numbers 7902-Will, and #7903-Ephriam took out land eventually to be in Lowndes Co, AL. He was in AL by 18 Aug 1820 when his sister Elizabeth married H. B. McDonald in Montgomery Co. Where is he in the 1820 & 1830 census? In 1830 and thereafter he is in what became Honoraville, as the county lines were constantly redrawn. The family was consistent with that shown here. Evidently Theo was a prime mover in the formation of the Sweetwater Primitive Baptist Church. When the first conference of the church met on May 26, 1827, nineteen charter members were present. In 1829, there are a couple of interesting entries in the Sweetwater Primitive Baptist Church minutes. On 9 Nov 1829, the church appointed "brother McArmstrong to draw a subsciption for the purpose of the purchase of our brother cesar by the association and present the same to our next conference." Then on 13 Jun 1829, they "received the subscription from the hand of our brother Mc Armstrong for the purpose of the purchase, made by order of our conference of our brother Cesar a man of Colour..." After doing some research I have determined that Cesar was Caesar Blackwell, a very popular black preacher of the era. The Alabama Baptist Association purchased him. A lot of the story seems to be lost to time, but it would be interesting to search records in that regard. To free a slave in Alabama at that time would require an act of the legislature. We need to see if there was such an act to free him after the purchase. I was unable to find such records while doing an online search. The Daniels settled side by side in one region of eastern Butler (now western Crenshaw) County and southeastern Lowndes (now extreme northern Crenshaw) County. There were so many Daniels and their in-laws, and they acquired so much land that it is difficult to sort out their holdings. See the land maps drawn & plotted by Broyce McCormack, Theo (4) Daniel & others. From the County Tract Book, Butler Co, AL, AL State Archives, from the 1830s to the 1850s, the Daniels bought virtually the entire three-mile stretch of land between Sweetwater Church and Honoraville. Between 1833 & 1860, Theo was the original purchaser of 1400 acres in this area at the cost of $1.25 per acre. It is difficult to know how they used this vast acreage. Since they owned only a few slaves, they could not and did not create cotton plantations there. They & their in-laws (Bozemans, Ellingtons, POLLARDs, Simmerly and Wyche) were prosperous farmers and among the most prominent families of the Honoraville region. (see notes under Penelope's sister, Mary Jane Goodson...Joshua Pollard was one of the execs. of her estate, other Pollards & their relationships recorded there as well) "The story goes: Theophilus went to Texas in 1853, (current belief is that it was his son, Josiah) bought & laid out his claim to 640 acres in Navarro Co, within 3 miles of present day Kerens, TX. He was a surveyor & farmer. As he surveyed the land, an Indian watched from high in a nearby tree the entire time. "Indian Creek", which runs along side the tree, was named for the Indian. Theo returned to AL after he completed his work in Texas." From "The 1931 Account." Theo's probate is found in Vol 7, pgs. 473 and 474, records of Probate Court. In it are named all his heirs and the remaining land from his purchases in Sec's 9, 17, 18, Twp 10, R 17. His original purchase in July & Aug 1819, Sec 26, T 16, R 17 was not then in his estate. Randy Daniel found some transcriptions by Chester McDonald that Probate Theophilus' estate. One is recorded in Book 7, Page 347 of Probate Records and says: Mrs. Gene (Lucile ) Wills of Preston, GA thinks Theo died Oct 24, 1866. "MFDR ltr, 14 Sep 1964: "... Yes, Theophilus Daniel did make furniture - Maude's son has a chair he make for Mother to rock her first baby in and my niece has a small chair he made for my sister Nora - Mother sold the spinning wheel he made for her - also the sley he put thread through in Loom and the Reel they took thread from - made the Balls I have seen that done - I have seen the cloth being woven - and have a conterpane I saw a cousin weave. Also a wool spread my Grand Mother Milley made. She sheared the sheep picked out the burs dyed it Picked seed from the cotton as there was no gin at that time - she wove it. It is far over a hunderd years old. I use it and prize. Did not do as Mode did, he thought so much of his put up Mothes ate it." Census: 1850, Beat 3, Butler, AL, Series: M432 Roll: 2 Page: 205 In the 1850 census he owned two slaves, both women.
