Leonard, Ordinary This copy is typed from a photo reproduction of the original will and testament of Hiram McDaniel by Barbara McDaniel Ray, November 17, 2000. ======NOTES========== First Hiram's second wife Mattie Elizabeth. I know nothing about her (i.e., her maiden or first married name nor marriage date). The will was the first clue we had that Hiram had married a second time. B.T. should be son Benjamin Tyler McDaniel (June 22, 1860-December 21, 1936) m. Mellie F. Reeves February 14, 1883. C. T. and Thomas should be son Charles Thomas McDaniel (May 09, 1848-June 3, 1911) m. Hulda Elizabeth Tillman Dec. 13, 1870 and m. Laura Peterman inTaylor Co. Nov. 30, 1902. Ella Jones is daughter Ella McDaniel (born April 14, 1852) m. William Jones, moved to Texas. Marth Braddy should be daughter Martha Ann McDaniel (June 04, 1843-Sept. 24, 1913) m. William Alexander Braddy December 27, 1865. Many of the Braddy descendants still live in west Georgia. I have been able to locate and contact only a few of them. Jas. S. and James should be son James S. McDaniel (June 28, 1849-July 12, 1916). H. P. should be son Henry Patrick McDaniel (October 11, 1856-December 13, 1946) m. Emma Williams. W. J. should be son William Jasper McDaniel (August 31, 1844-April 6, 1924) m. Lucinda Pamelia Elizabeth Black October 19, 1873. This is my line. A. F. should be son Allen Franklin McDaniel (October 06, 1864-August 27, 1930) m. Edna Eugene Black June 27, 1894. Leola Black should be daughter Leola Rebecca McDaniel (May 10, 1867-October 2, 1931) m. John Thomas Black November 06, 2903. Hiram Jr. should be son Hiram L. McDaniel (January 11, 1846-October 11, 1907). Thos. McDaniel (see above) should be son Charles Thomas McDaniel. Some of Charles Thomas' descendants wonder why he was "disinherited", with his share going to the second wife. I prefer to think that there may have been a financial transaction between father and son that removed his "share". Charles Thomas went on to marry and to have a large family that reaches over multiple generations. I believe these to be all of the children surviving in 1894. There are many McDaniel cousins unknown to me, many still in the S.E. So, I and others who will sponsor another annual McDaniel and Allied Families Reunion at The Rock in Upson Co. in July 2001, would welcome all contacts.
