Subject: Daniel Williams From: Nharris Date: August 04, 1998 I am new to this mailing list but far more important I am new to trying to find someone in South Carolina. This is my first ancestor that has come into the state of Tennessee by way to South Carolina. I am lost! Sorry, I know very little of your state history or districts. I need help. This is what I know: Daniel Williams Sr. travelled with the Buchanan Party from South Carolina to the Cumberland Settlements (Davidson, Co., TN-Nashville) leaving his family in Danville in 1778-80, while he proceeded to the French Lick to build cabins. The was a signer of the Cumberland Compact, May, 1780; ordered by the Committee of the Cumberland Association to help lay off a road from Nashborough toward Mansker's Station, April 1, 1783. He was sheriff and served on the first Grand Jury, Oct 7, 1783. He received a North Carolina land grant. He died in 1794 in Davidson Co. His children were Capt. Sampson Williams, Eunice Carmick (wife of Aquilla Carmack and my ancestor), Wright, Amos, Nimrod, Daniel, Oliver, Turner, TodAy's jackpot questions for this group are: Where is Danville? Could this be the Daniel Williams, Capt, listed in the NC Roster of Rev Veterans who was from the Wilmington Co, NC as stated in those records? This Daniel fought at King's Mountain? Can anyone offer some help or push me in the correct direction.Thanks. Nancy Harris [email protected] Go To: #, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z, Main |
