Daughter of Samuel Phipps, Jr. (1803-1900) and Grace Doughten (1801-1881).
Eliza Jane Phipps married William Moss Daniel (1821-1893) on 10 Mar 1842. They had thirteen children: Joseph Pinckney* (1843-1864); John Wesley, Sr. (1844-1907); Peggy Ann (1848-1934); Clark T. (1850-?); Mary Jane (1851-1927); Elvira (1853-1922); Martha (1856-1935); Nancy Emeline (1857-1945); Dexter Bullard (1859-1929); William Clinton (1861-1927); Rebecca Belle (1864-1943); Elizabeth Pamela (1866-1912); Samuel A. (or K.) (1869-1943).
Some sources add Clinton W. (1862-1927), but I believe this is actually William Clinton (1861-1927), the given names being transposed.
The family apparently moved from Iredell Co, NC, to VA some time after the birth of Joseph Pinckney in 1843 in NC and the birth of John Wesley, Sr. on 9 Oct 1844 in VA.
Sometime between the taking of the 1860 U. S. Federal Census and the taking of the 1870 U. S. Federal Census, the surname of William Moss Daniel was changed to Daniels, and his descendants were henceforth known by that name.
