Elusive George Daniels
George Daniels has been eluding me for years. He is the "end of the line as far as it goes" for the Daniels line. I only have suggestive birthdates and the general birthplace of "England". I am not even sure when he emigrated. I have come across a few things that are interesting.
I have George in the 1880 (very excited to finally find that one), 1870, and 1860 census's with his wife and various children. The 1860 lists him as 26 with a 1 year old daughter suggesting to me that he was married just a few years before that. The next earliest record I have for him is a Land Patent for land in Clay County, Illinois dated 2 Dec 1850 suggesting to me that he would not be found in the census (taken in Aug) in Clay county. I found one possible match in the 1850 census for a George Daniels age 18 born in England living in New York city with a baker and a William Daniels also age 18 born in England. He is the only George Daniels born in England that comes up +/- 5 years from 1828. I will try and look into him further. I then began to wonder why a young single man would choose middle of nowhere Clay county to buy land and settle. I did another census search in Clay county in 1850 for anyone born in England, maybe someone George knew from the home country that he followed out. There was one name that came up that was interesting but just created more questions. There is a John Danels age 10 born in England living with a couple both born in N.C. Why would a 10 year old from England be living with a husband and wife from N.C. with no apparent name connection? I have no clue.
Lots more work to do!
