"McDaniel Brothers of Virginia" by Martha McDaniel Thompson; typescript in several versions with last about 1995; citing "Irish Pedigrees" by John O'Hart; v1; p533-534; which describes the pedigree for John of Moyne's, but implies somewhat obliquely, that he remained in Ireland; so far, no one has found a source for the link across the ocean

At great expense I have hired a professional genealogist to explore this connection.

They report ... based on the above mentioned "oblique statement" in O'Hart's Irish Pedigrees .. that they too "feel" that he died in Ireland.

This does not of course effect the myriad lines descending down from the part of "him" or his two purported brothers that lived in Virginia, which are likely correct by DNA. The problem is, what was his (their) ancestry back across the sea?

Does anyone have documentation to prove any of this?? Thanks

NO. There is plenty on either side of the ocean, but none across it. It does agree with excellent quality DNA,

but in small segments.

I am Donna McDaniel and after researching a direct line through the men of my family, it brings me here. I have revolutionary war pension requests from James McDaniel and it shows McDaniels, McDonald and McDaniel all within this document signed by James.
