#52 Ancestor Challenge 2019, Week 33, Rader Cousins
Prompt is Comedy

A COMEDY OF COUSINS

The Rev. Dr. Cynthia Forde

Hmmm!  George Rader! I puzzled over that name after breaking through my great grandfather’s brick wall.  One of Charles Edwin Rinker’s maternal ancestors was George Rader, Sr. who was born in 1743 in Lehigh, Pennsylvania.  George Rader was praised by George Washington for his eloquent prayers during the Revolutionary War.  This was exciting news to me, but it wasn’t the only reason I puzzled over the Rader name.

A few years ago, I researched the lineage of my husband's former girlfriend.  She remains a dear friend of both of ours now. I was quite amazed by her illustrious ancestors.  I had noted that her lineage contained a long line of Raders from Pennsylvania and Virgina. It was very easy to research because her Barker and Rader lines included some prominent people. Could it be that we are related?  

Ancestry trees are notorious for being erroneous, so I hired Raquel Lindaas, of Heritage Consulting, Inc. in Salt Lake City to research the Barker connection.  I studied the Rader links and voila, George Rader, Sr. born 1743 Lehigh, Pennsylvania is Linda’s ancestor, too.   My husband’s former girlfriend and I are fifth or sixth cousins!  I think our cousin match is uniquely comedic!

#52 Ancestors 2019, Week 32, the McDaniel Sisters

The McDaniel Sisters

The Rev. Dr. Cynthia Forde

The short story of the two McDaniel sisters is a continuation of the story of the “Seven Sons” of the McDaniel family.  I have no doubt, the Scots Irish McDaniel sisters, Sarah and Mary M., also had blue eyes like their brothers.  According to Elijah’s descendant Wayne McDonald, they were small people.   

Sarah was born about 1827 in Fairfield County, South Carolina. She was enumerated with her parents in the 1830 U.S. Federal Fairfield South Carolina 1830 and the1840 U.S. Federal Census Talbot County, Georgia. By the1850 U.S. Federal Census Chambers, Alabama she is enumerated with her mother Sarah McDaniel and her sister Mary M. McDaniel who was born in 1841 in Talbot County, Georgia; their father William was deceased.  By 1860, both sisters are living with their mother Sarah, now age 68 years old and their widowed older brother John in Pike County, Alabama.  Their older brother Elijah is married and lives down the road. There is a slight possibility Mary M, married a man named Jimmy Neighbors according to a lineage tree on Ancestry.com.  There is no evidence at all that this is the same Mary M. McDaniel, who married Mr. Neighbors. 

The very last record of the McDaniel sisters ends with the 1860 U.S. Federal Census.  Rest in Peace, Sarah, and Mary!

#52 Ancestors 2019, Week 31, Seven Brothers

Seven Brothers

The Rev. Dr. Cynthia Forde

Seven blue-eyed Scots-Irish sons and two daughters were born to William and Sarah Lewis McDaniel by 1846.   By 1866, twenty years later, only two brothers survived.  One of the surviving McDaniel brothers was my second great-grandfather, Elijah McDaniel.  Thanks to my mother, Rose Miller Vold, for providing his name and that of his wife, Martha Brooks, I encountered cousin Tommy Wayne McDonald. Through Wayne, the story of the McDaniels who became McDonald, after the War Between the States, began to unfold.  

Wayne found an 1830 Fairfield County, South Carolina Census that enumerated William McDaniel born about 1790 with his wife Sarah whose maiden name may have been Lewis. Most of their children were born in South Carolina before the family moved to Talbot County, Georgia between 1831-1834. William and Sarah McDaniel had at least seven sons and three daughters. William and Sarah were enumerated on the 1840 census in Talbot, Georgia. He died after 1842 and before 1844. His wife and children moved to Chambers County, Alabama about 1845-1846. They are enumerated on the 1850 Chambers, Alabama census. 

Raquel Lindaas, a certified genealogist researched the McDaniels extensively tying them to a well-known McDaniel family that had migrated from Virginia.  Unfortunately, the YDNA did not match and we were back to our starting place.   We had hoped to find answers to our many McDaniel/McDonald questions.   According to extensive DNA study that included the Oxford DNA study and the Family Tree YDNA, our McDaniel/ McDonald line was part of the clan Donal.  We did find matches with Brad McDonald, a descendant of Elijah’s brother John McDaniel.  A close DNA match to a MacLennan likely means the common ancestor was before surnames.  The DNA and the paper trail research did provide a few sources to people, but they had little information to share with us.  Wayne’s research into Elijah’s military background uncovered a wealth of information about our common ancestor.  

But what happened to Elijah’s six brothers?  Did they all die in the Civil War as family tradition suggests?  It appears one other brother survived until after 1880.   A timeline offers organization to the material.

1840 U.S. Federal Census Talbot County, GeorgiaHead of Household: William McDaniel
Ages of Males: 0-5 6-10 11-15 16-20 41-45 11-15 41-45
Ages of Females: 2 2 1 2 1 1 1
Mother Sarah would have been 43, John 20, William 17, Sarah 13, Hiram 12, Ervin 8, Elijah 6, Elisha 2, James1. This William McDaniel Head of Household also held 11 slaves. This family matches the Sarah McDaniel family for ages in 1840 compared with ages in 1850. It is highly probable this is the same family. William McDaniel must have died between 1840 and 1850. His death could have been after the birth of Mary M. or just prior to her birth in 1841 (Wayne McDonald)

Following William's death between 1840 and 1845, his widow and children remove to Chambers County, Alabama where they are enumerated:

1850 U.S. Federal Census Chambers County, Alabama

It is believed that the 1850 census of Chambers County, Alabama shows Elijah listed with a widowed mother named Sarah.

The 1860 U.S. Federal Census is the last one to find any of the brothers together. What information is available after 1860 on the whereabouts of the brothers?

John McDaniel– John married Guisey or Ginsey Smith 7 January 1844 in Talbot County, Georgia. [1]No further information was found following the 1860 Chambers, Alabama census where he is enumerated with his mother Sarah, his sister Sarah age 33, plus his three children: Sarah A., Nancy, and William J. 

William McDaniel  - 1860,[2]1866,[3]Pike County, Alabama, 1880 Census Jefferson, Alabama[4]William married Cinthia Dees.

William, age 36, is enumerated with his wife Cinthia (Cynthia) Dees, his son William J. and a daughter Mary F.  [5]

Hiram McDaniel was the only McDaniel brother that did not change his name.  He married Caroline Gossett.  A Tinesy McDaniel filled for reclassification of Widow's benefits August 19, 1903, and again on April 29, 1915.  Filled again January 22, 1916, and November 20, 1920

There is a Hiram listed in the 1860 census of Talladega County, Al with a Caroline and 6 children.  The children are William, 10; John, 8; Mary, 6; Hiram, 5; James, 4; and Sarah, 2.  Charles McDonald, a descendant, says that the Hiram listed is Hiram David McDaniel, According to the 1850 census Hiram was 22 and Caroline was 20.  Hiram lost 4 years and Caroline lost 23 years.  Caroline is listed in the 1866 Pike County Census.  There is a marriage account of Caroline McDaniel marrying William Browning 8/23/1866.  The 1870 census of Pike County, Alabama list a William Browning, age 31, with Caroline (now age 40, which matches the 1850 census) with 7 children.  The children are John, 18; David, 16; James, 17; Mary, 14; Ann, 13, Elizabeth, 9 and Sarah J., Hiram joined the Confederate Army where he was taken prisoner of war and died at Rock Island, Illinois on 3 February 1865.  [6]

Erwin McDaniel disappeared after the 1850 Chambers County, Alabama census.  Wayne McDonald wondered if some of Elisha’s Confederacy records might have been confused with Erwin or Ervin McDonald.  

Elijah McDanielmarried Martha Brooks, daughter of Jacob Rutledge Brooks and Rebecca J. I. Sappington, in September of 1856 in Pike County, Alabama.  They had four children; the oldest, William died when he was a toddler which may account for Elijah’s absence without leave from the military.[7]

Elisha McDaniel/McDonald was enumerated with his widowed mother in 1860[8].  He married 
Retincy (Tinsy) Mary Long on 18 Oct 1860 in Pike County, Alabama.  He enlisted with his brothers in the Confederate Army.  Elisha and Tinsy had four children.  He died at age 26 as a prisoner of war from wounds suffered at the Battle of Nashville 14 Dec 1865. [9] 

James McDanielsuffered an illness during the war and died as a result, according to Wayne McDonald.  I could not locate military records nor is he found in any census after 1860.   

Of the seven Scots Irish sons born to William and Sarah McDaniel probably only two survived after the War Between the States.  Sarah died about 1866; sadly she lived to know the devastation of losing five sons. 

Pike County Historical & Genealogical Society has a publication, Vol. XXXIV, Nos. 1 & 2, which includes information about Scottish ancestry, etc.. This article specifically speaks of Scots coming to the American Colonies after the Battle of Culloden in 1746. Most continued to speak Gaelic and were adherents of the Presbyterian Church as they had been in Scotland. The only minister they wanted often was one from Scotland. In time, their language disappeared and their Scottish Presbyterian religion largely gave way to the predominant Baptist and Methodist.

Many Scots settled in South Alabama, including Pike and neighboring counties. There are many Scottish names in the old records of the Philadelphia Presbyterian Church at Brundidge, Al, other Scottish names found in association with a church at Orion in Pike County. The old Scottish communities of Inverness, Darien, and Scotland, once in Pike County but now in Bullock County had a very active Presbyterian Church called Bethel.

This publication contains other information about a Scottish community at Aberfoil, maps, etc.  If you are interested in the entire publication, you may be able to purchase one through Karen Bullard at the Troy Public Library, phone # 334-566-1314.
