Comment. He made no claim for land or other bounty.


John McDaniel of Talbot Co was a Justice of the
Peace, as noted in several of the deed books. He
continued in the capacity in St. Clair Co Ala after
the family removed to Alabama.

Question? Do you know if there is a record of who were appointed[?] elected
to fill the positions of Justice of the Peace in Talbot Co during the period
1828-1848?


The father of Mr. McDaniel was born 1789, and was a
soldier of the war of 1812, and also of the Florida
Indian Wars, and was a prominent figure in his county,
being a magistrate for forty years and a democrat. He was
a Union man in his sentiments and always opposed
secession. The family consisted of seven children, of
whom two are living.
