  Pioneer, Alford McDaniel born 1828 in Randolph, county, North Carolina arrived in
Greene now Christian county, Missouri via covered wagon with parents, Samuel
(1796NC-1876MO) and "Sally" McDaniel (1794NC-1865MO) & six siblings around 1841,
from their North Carolina home, with only five siblings found on 1850 Federal
census. 

  Alford grew up and was educated in the Randolp county, North Carolina and Greene
county, Missouri areas, marring in 1852 a local girl, Ann Catherine Vaughan born
1833, raising a family of five known children by 1860. 

  Alford McDaniel with younger sister (1830NC-1917MO) Nancy's husband, Nepoleon
Bonaparte Morrow (1825TN-1861MO?) with children, were reportedly slain by Kansas
bushwackers in later part of Civil War. Their identical modern replacement
headstones have death date of 1861, thought to be incorrect, because ~ ~ Napoleon's
wife had at least two more children, N Bona (1862-1878) in 1862 and Nancy Lula in
1864. Alfrod's youngest brother, Francis Marion McDaniel (1835NC-1903MO) had been
gathering and selling horses to the Union but is said to have removed west to
Carthage, Jasper county, Missouri in 1865 becoming a successful farmer and miller
taking in Napoleon's oldest son, Samuel Oscar Marrow (1854MO-1934MO) who inherited
the mill, which ended as Morrow Mill sold by his three grandsons in 1976, closed in
1978 and burnt down except for concrete elevators in 1981.
