[14]."
2) "James and Isabel Colyer pass meeting 11-25-1713[15]." (25 Jan 1714 in Gregorian calendar)
3) I first thought Isabel Colyer was same person as Isabel Collier were same person. However, it's possible that mother of Eleanor was a wife before Jane, i.e. that there were 3 marriages. Richard Flanagin. 11/22/21
4) There was a Lyonel Daniel (1673-1729)[16], Unclear if this is James's father, AKA Neal Daniel.
Eulogy in Quaker Records
"As the memory of the righteous cannot soon be forgotten by those that follow their footsteps, but are as memorials deeply engraven on our minds and are worthy to be had in our remembrance. of which number was that steady friend and exemplary Elder James Daniel. Whose Examplary Life and Sweet Companionship is found (?) in some of our Memories.
He was Born in the Kingdom of Ireland about the year 1675 and his Father Neal Daniel brought him over sea at about five years of Age and Settled in Alloways Creek Township in the County of Salem in West Jersey at which time the white people were but few and the natives in multitude. He being young learned Their langugage perfectly and he frequently said that at that time the natives were a people sober, grave and temperate and used no manner of Bath (?) in their Speech. His father died about the fifteenth year of his age and left him in the care of friends to be educated in the way of truth which he embraced in the love of it. And as he grew in age and divine fervor and had a share in the oversight of the flock and eldership conferred upon him, which he faithfully performed in the spirit of love and meekness which rendered his service acceptable, and thereby obtained a good report. He rule his own house well, having his own children in subjection, diligent to attend meetings for Worship and Discipline, altho for many years with difficulty the county being New and Roads not made. But after he with considerable cost and labor got bridges over some creeks and a public road near his own House, his house and heart was open to entertain Friends According to his ability.
Zealously concerned for the Honor of God and the promotion of truth and often Lamented as the country grew older, the people grew worse, and had Corrupted the Natives in their morals and were the cause of learning them bad words and the excessive use of strong drink which (fought?) he for many years of his last time. For example sake, (he) took home and frequently advised such as were in the use of it, to use great temperance. Some of his last years he often advised his eldest sons to take the care of business on them, for it seemed removed from him as much as tho he propisied nothing/ a good example for all elders, for sorrowful experience shews us that too many as they growing years, grow more closely attached to the earth, a sorrowful prophet and poor example for the young and rising generation/ but devoted his mind and time in truth's service and expressed great satisfaction in accompanying friends in their Religious Services. And when his departure grew near the Lord gave him a sense thereof by a vision in the right reason as he said to his wife and children. 'Now I am near to leave all or to be called to some very great work but I believe my departure is near. I have often told you my time here was short and believe I must alter my will", which he did while in health. After (he) was taken with pleurisy and lay about eight days during which time (he) gave much good advice to Family, Neighbors and Friends that came to see him with evident proofs of a happy exit and the day before his departure many Friends and Neighbors came and had a Religious meeting during which time he seemed composed and after which he signified his Great Satisfaction. One Neighbor taking leave said 'Farewell James and the Lord be with you.' He replied, 'Do not doubt it, Thomas. Do not doubt it.:' Several friends taking Solem Leave he said, 'I am glad of the Visit and of the Meeting, but have a great concern on my mind for this generation and mentioned many growing evils that then prevailed and said that many of the Elders are called away and more must be soon if some young men do not lay your shoulders to the Lord's work truth must fall in the street but I hope the Lord will raise up some that will be faithful."
At night he apprehended his departure drew near. He took his last and solemn leave of all present, Beginning with his Wife, and next his Children and gave everyone something in charge and particularly to one he said, 'thou does not know what service the Lord has for thee to do in thy generation.' And bidding all farewell he closed his eyes and lay about half an hour as one expired(?) at length and opened his eyes and said, 'Who knows but the Lord may raise me up again. I know he is able to do it, but I don't desire it.' Took some meat and drink and soon after grew drowsy and remained sensible until about ten o'clock and departed like one failling into sweet sleep at his own house on the 52nd year of his age on the 26th day of the 10th mo.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with James by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with James:
Daniels-2406 and Daniel-2286 appear to represent the same person because: Daniels and Daniel are the same surname. It appears earlier ancestors used "Daniel".
