A relative I recently connected to is adamant that Josiah James Daniel and Elizabeth Key are not in our family lineage. Both she and I share Marmaduke Daniel as a relative. And we have a Josiah, but this one is not one of them! I have removed our Josiah James as his son, so that should create the separation from our family lineage

A genealogy published in 1959 "Middlesex, Virginia, Daniel Descendants" named Josiah Daniels wife Elizabeth as the daughter of Arthur Jordan, alleged to have been named in his will dated 1792 in Granville Co, NC. This is erroneous. His daughter Elizabeth Jordan has a 1786 marriage record to John Daniel.
Elizabeth Key is proven to be the wife & widow of Josiah Daniel of Granville County, North Carolina by a Chancery suit filed in Albemarle County, Virginia by her son Samuel Daniel against her heirs, also as heirs of her deceased brother Walter Key, the elder, who died leaving only a widow and no lineal descendants.[2]
