Research Notes

From records, this Jacob (so far) is NOT proven to be the the son of John McDaniel McDaniel-2341 and Katherine Rogers (though it sure seems he should be). He is not in John's will or land transactions to his children (but probably related as there are numerous land transactions involving people with similar names, in Randolph and Chatham County.)

But from all the transactions between Jacob and Samuel, they seem to have a close relationship, even brothers. (Wondering if this Samuel in Chatham County is a different one than the one in Randolph County, son of John McDaniel McDaniel-2341 and Katherine Rogers or the same.)

Also, widow of Edward Teague, Margaret "Peggy" McDaniel Teague - Edward's father was brother to Moses, father of David Teague who married Sarah McDonald/McDaniel. And Jacob Teague was brother of David Teague.

Frances Teague who married Benjamin Watts and then Samuel McDaniel was sister to Edward and Moses.

The Watts were also an allied family- Benjamin Watts and Frances Teague had a dau. Elizabeth who married Jacob here. Her sister Rebecca married a John B. McDaniel who also may be a brother (or cousin?).

There is also an Arthur McDaniel in 1790 and 1800 Censuses, with a Revolutionary War pension, born c1759, died 1836.

McDaniels on Orange County Tax List of 1755 - John McDaniel pg 5, Absalom McDaniel pg 8, Daniel McDaniel pg 8.

Working theory - John B. McDaniel b c1770, Jacob b. c1760, Peggy Teague b. c1765, Sarah McDaniel b. c 1760, Arthur b. c1759 are possibly all siblings of an unknown father (or cousins, as Samuel seems to be.) This is also what Trisha Elliot-Kashima, who has done a ton of work on Jacob and the McDaniels, also believes - see links in sources.) But who are their parents??
