William Daniel

M, b. circa 1722, d. 1789
  • Last Edited: 27 Oct 2007
  • Biography*: This writer's records on William Daniel in early Edgecombe are far from conclusive. It is possible that there wre two or more Williams. At least, there may have been a William, son of Simon Daniel I of Chowan. And apparently, a second William, son of Simon II who died in 1763 in Edgecombe. And a third William, son of Simon III who ended up in SC.
    .
    Records also suggest that a William Daniel may have married Sarah Willis, daughter of the William Willis who died in Edgecombe Co, NC in 1776. A William Daniel seems to have been closely associated with William Willis in Edgecombe County records. Further research is needed.

Simon Daniel I of Chowan1

M, b. say 1689
  • Last Edited: 12 May 2019
  • Biography*: The first Simon Daniel of Chowan Precinct NC was probably born around 1678 - 1685.
    .
    7 Feb 1700 Mathew PRICHARD & Frances TOMES give their bond to the Lords Proprietors. The condition of the bond is that said Mathew PRITCHARD obtained administration of Patrick HENLEY dec'd & will properly administer the estate. Witnessed by Samuel SWANN, SIMON DANIEL. (Colonial Estates of NC) Simon would have to have been at least 14 years old to witness a deed, and so was born no later than 1686.
    .
    Simon Daniel was probably no more than 23 years old, and possibly much younger, when in 1701, he witnessed the deed of Joshua Lamb of Roxborough, County of Suffolk, MA, to Samuel Swann, for 300 acres on the NE side of the Perquimans River adjacent to Timothy Clare and John Lawrence (Perquimans Deed Bk A:172). Was Simon related to any of these individuals? And what was he doing in Perquimans? Did his occupation at that time require travel? Was he a farm laborer? A peddler? A minister? A school teacher?

    Then follows a long gap in which no records on Simon have been found. He does not, for instance, appear in surviving NC Land Patent records. No further record of him has been found until the following 1723 deed in Chowan County:
    .
    Abstracts of Conveyances From Register's Office, Chowan County, Book C, No. 1, published in Historical and Genealogical Register, Vol. II, Contents - April, 1901, Page 291: John Williams of Nansemond County, Virginia, to Robert Rogers of the same place, November 27, 1725, 100 acres part of a patent to John Jernagan, March 20, 1723. Test. Robert Rogers, Sr., Simon Daniel, Henry Gardner
    .
    From Mike Daniel:
    General Court, March 1726
    John JORNAGEN by William LITTLE his Attorney comes to prosecute his Suite (sic) against Robert ROGERS late of Virginia but now of North Carolina planter and Simon DANIELL of the Same province planter in custody etc. of a plea for that to witt in the precinct of Chowan on or about the seventeenth of January One thousand Seven hundred and twenty five the Defendante's by force and Armes etc, did enter into and upon the Lands and posession of the plaintiffe and him the Sayd plaintiffe dud then and there assault batter bruise wound and evilly intreat and also a Tarr Kiln of Light Wood by the sayd plaintiffe gather'd logg'd and [tars't] ready for burning of and to the plaintiffe belonging then and there did by force and Armes etc. Seize and take posession of and burne the Same into Tarr and the said Tarr amounting to Sixty two barrells to the plaintiffe belonging they the Defentante's (sic) then and there took and carried away against the peace of Our Sovereign Lord the King and to the damage of the plaintiffe One hundred pounds and therfore he brings this Suite etc. And the said Robert <115> ROGERS by David Osheall his Attorney prayeth License to imparle untill the next Court on the last Tuesday in July next to answer to the plea of the plaintiife aforesayd and he hath it the Same day is given to the Plaintiffe.

    .
    Note that Simon does not sign with a mark, assuming the transcript is correct, and so he was apparently literate. Given his absence from deed records, it may be that he was following some occupation other than farming. In any case, the long lapse in records on him is troubling. It might even suggest that when the name Simon does suddenly show up again in records, in the 1740's, that it was not this first Simon, but perhaps a son. It is possible that this Simon, thought to be the son of Joseph Daniel, died in Chowan. And that the Simon who died in 1763 in Edgecombe was actually his son, Simon II. If Simon I was born no later than 1685, and lived no longer than the average age of 45 to 50, then he could easily have died quietly in Chowan County in the 1730's or 1740's. And if he was a minister, a merchant, a blacksmith, etc., and did not own land, then chances are he would have left no probate records.
    .
    A Simon Daniel signed a petition in Chowan County, NC at an unknown date. Source: Civil Suits & Bonds & Court of Admiralty 1735-1760, LDS Family History Library film #0018540:
    "Humbly Sheweth To the Worshipfull Bench of Justices Sitting at Edenton, The humble Petition of the Upper Inhabitants of Chowan County, That your petitioners humbly apprehending that there is an order Granted out of this Court for a new Road to be made from Bennetts Creek Road to Pughs Causey, being full twelve Miles, And We humbly beg leave to acquaint your Worships of the Difficulty in doing of it, and the unusefulness when done, being not convenient for the Inhabitants other to Church Mill and Market, There is Coles Creek so bad and Rotten and freshes arising Renders it morally Impossible for a Bridge to stand, Besides Six Intolerable Swamps and many other troublesome places and this making of this new Road only shortens four miles from the old Road that has been laid out by two Jurys, and twenty men will make the old Road good with more case, than two hundred men this new one. And We further beg leave to acquaint your Worships, That We humbly apprehend that the Promoters of this new Road has Imposed upon you, by getting a Jury to buy out this Road, that are not Inhabitants to work upon this Road (Except one) Which We imagine to be contrary to Law and Custom. And likewise We beg leave to acquaint your Worships that Mr Wilsons Company that are Convenient to work upon this Road, the Promoters has Craftily left out, and appointed three Companys, Two of which (namely) Kings and Warrens at a great Distant.

    .
    The above petition is not the original, and was transcribed into the order book by a clerk. Hence it does not contain any original signatures. Also, this writer is under the impression that the very early Edgecombe deed books deteriorated and were at some point re-copied, and what we have now are just those copies. So chances are that it is not going to be possible to obtain original signatures from early Edgecombe County deeds, either.
    .
    For the purposes of research and discussion, this writer is going to make some assumptions. I'm guessing that it was this first Simon Daniel who married Elizabeth Rogers, daughter of Robert Rogers. And I'm speculating that this first Simon died in Chowan or Bertie, or early Edgecombe Precinct, and left no estate or record of his death. .
    And for the purposes of speculation, I'm wondering if that his children might have included: 1) the Simon Daniel who died in 1763 in Edgecombe: 2) Joseph Daniel who died in 1800 in Edgecombe; 3) the William Daniel who died in 1789 in Edgecombe; 4) the Robert Daniel who died in Martin County in the 1780's; 5) Hardy Daniel who died in the 1760's in Edgecombe.
    .
    And I'm speculating that 1) the first Simon, possible son of Joseph Daniel, married Elizabeth Rogers; 2) Simon's son Simon II married Elizabeth Bentley; and 3) Simon II's son Simon III married a Pettypool, daughter of Stephen Pettypool.
    .
    Additional evidence either for or against the above speculation will be appreciated.
