Descendants of John Daniel

Generation No. 1

1. JOHN⁴ DANIEL (JAMES³, JAMES², JAMES¹) was born Abt. 1742 in Essex or Bedford Co., VA, and died 1819 in Laurens Co., SC. He married SARAH WRIGHT Abt. 1761 in Essex Co., VA. She was born Abt. 1745 in VA, and died Aft. 1800 in Laurens Co., SC.

Notes for JOHN DANIEL:
This John Daniel is in the 1790 census of Laurens Co., SC, 2 males 17+, 1 male 16-, and 1 female 17+. John Daniel is listed in the Patriot Index of the SAR. It appears to be this person. The record says he was born in VA in 1724 (which date possibly should be 1742), and died in SC in 1819, served as a private in the SC militia during the Revolution. Married Sarah--. There is some confusion as to the actual date of arrival in South Carolina. Christine South Gee says in her book that the family moved from Virginia to South Carolina about 1789 and settled in the Mt. Gallagher community near Ware Shoals. This would indicate that he did not live in South Carolina during the Revolution. They lived in Bedford Co. VA before moving to SC.

Notes for SARAH WRIGHT:
The names Wright, Pugh and Speer appear in the minutes of Quaker meetings in this region of South Carolina very early. The Bush River Monthly Meeting was established in Newberry Co. SC in 1770. By 1802, Quakers who opposed slavery began requesting releases from their groups and began their migration to Ohio. The Bush River group was dissolved by 1822, with many members either requesting certificates to transfer to Ohio or, as some suggest, to join other Christian churches, mainly Methodists.
Note: John Wright was a sergeant in the Virginia Colonial Militia, Sept. 1758, Bedford Co. Possibly a relative of Sarah.
