I'm baffled by this. A kind Wikitreer here said that John (Gand) Granville Daniel (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Daniel-6376) was probably the father of my ancestor Richard Venable Daniel (born about 1822?) (Daniel 2058.). =. But John was born "before 1760." There was a "suggestion" sent me saying John was born "too early." I feel that he was certainly born early to be Richard's father, but his wife, Susan (Unknown-462848) is listed as living with Richard and his wife, Mary Grace, and their daughter, Isabella, in the census of 1850. So Susan may have been Richard's mother? I don't think she could have been his grandmother as she was 63 and he was in his 30s at that time. If anyone has any idea how to resolve this confusion, I would be grateful. I suppose John could have been very old when he had Richard or Richard was born earlier than it seems. ???? Thanks
There is an index to Wills listing John G Daniel as 'devisor' and 'devisees' being Susan M Daniel, Ann B Dupey, Moses H Daniel and Richard V Daniel. Will probated in August court.
