Wanda, I do not know anything about the DANIELS in Thomas County other than what I stated but I will bet the WATTS name really rings a bell with Lucy Gray. I am copying this to her. Her DANIEL ancestor, William DANIEL born ABT 1760 married a Betsy WATTS and their kids moved to Jackson County, FL about 1820. Lucy and I have always thought our DANIEL bunch were probably related but neither of us can find out who their parents were. I have also thought that my Robert W. DANIEL (1809-1865) may have had links to both Thomas County (because of the CHASTAIN marriage to the brother of his 3rd wife, Mary Jane RENEAU) as well as the fact there was a letter left in the Thomasville Post Office addressed to him and a man by this name bought land in Leon County, FL in the 1850's. What do you know about John CHASTAIN and the CARLTON girl, if anything? I know there was a Henry CARLTON who was one of the first settlers of Morgan County, GA and my bet is this Henry is related to this John in someway. I know perfectly well that Morgan County, GA is a far piece from Thomasville because I live in Thomasville but there seems to be multiple connections between Morgan County and Thomas County because my grandmother, Alice Elizabeth DANIEL (1854-1924), who was born in Jefferson County, GA, married a man from Madison, Morgan County, GA and her 1924 obit stated she descended from one of the founding families of Morgan County, GA. Which one, I do not know but I know her DANIEL family fairly well, at least back two generations and I do not know which one of her DANIEL ancestors could have been from Morgan County, GA. Known possibilities are -- NORRIS and LANE but outside of that, I do not have a clue.... John R.
