Notes for SIMON DANIEL, JR.:
The following is from Lewis W. Griffin:[email protected]
"TWO SIMON DANIELS were in Edgecombe Precinct by 1744. One of them bought 300 acres on the south side of Toisnot Swamp in December 1744 from John Thomas, near Little Swamp, and the deed was witnessed by James (x) Barefield, ROBERT DANIEL and the other SIMON DANIEL. Neither Simon is referred to here as "Jr." or "Sr." [Deed Bk 6-416].
In August 1745, SIMON DANIEL sold to James Barfield 150 acres on the south side of Toisnot Swamp, joining Great Swamp, probably half of the land he had just bought the previous December. Witnesses were Abraham
Evans and Charles Cavanah[Deed Bk 6-414].
In 1747, William Bentley gave to SIMON DANIEL, his son-in-law, 150 acres on Toisnot Swamp, part of 400 acres granted in 1743 [Deed Bk 3-182]. The very next deed [Bk 3-183] is witnessed by SIMON DANIEL JR.
In March 1762, the Edgecombe Court ordered that SIMON DANIEL, "an old and infirm person," be recommended to the next Assembly to "be exempt from Public Duties and Services." [Edgecombe County Court Minutes by Haun]
.
In 1763, SIMON DANIEL left a will, with wife Elizabeth as executrix.Source: LDS Film 1548857, Edgecombe Co. NC Wills: written 26 May 1763, proved July Court 1763: leaves bequests to son WILLIAM DANIEL, son SIMON DANIEL, son DELIGAH DANIEL, to daughter MARY DANIEL, to daughter DARKIS DANIEL. And to wife ELIZABETH, afterward to be divided between MY OTHER CHILDREN. Signed SIMON DANIELl. Executrix wife Elizabeth and executor son WILLIAM DANIEL. Witnesses: John Stanssell, William Bantly [Bentley] and Joshua Bently [Bentley]
In 1765, Simon Daniel Jr. and Elizabeth Daniel sold to William Daniel 25 acres on the south bank of Toisnot Swamp [Deed Bk O-150]. This same deed is recorded a second time but with Elizabeth as witness only [Deed Bk C-433]. In 1767, Simon Daniel Jr. sold to Joseph Daniel 125 acres on the south bank of Toisnot Swamp adjoining William Daniel, with William as witness [Deed Bk C-473].
In 1779, Joseph Daniel gave 25 acres to Lemuel Daniel, "it being part of the land whereon Simon Daniel [Jr.] then lived" [Deed Bk 3-517]. And in 1781, Joseph gave 100 acres to Elias Daniel, "it being part of the land whereon Simon Daniel formerly lived" [Deed Bk E-132]. It is possible that Simon Daniel Jr. left Edgecombe County around 1780.
The name Simon is found in earlier records. In May 1673, Charles Blankevile was granted 440 acres in Warwick County, VA, near the James River, adjacent to the land of Symon Daniells' orphan, in possession of Jno. Jackson [(Cav. & Pio, Vol. II, p. 124, from Patent Bk 6, p. 450)]."
The major creek on the north side of the Neuse River between Little Contentnea Creek and Mocassin Creek is
Toisnot Swamp Creek (10). The family of Simon and Elizabeth Bentley DANIEL Jr lived on Toisnot Creek in
Edgecombe County. A son, Simon DANIEL Junior, married Elizabeth PETTYPOOL, daughter of Stephen and Sarah
PETTYPOOL, and moved to Camden District, South Carolina.
