Hello All,
I am looking for any information concerning the following DANIELS/DANIEL
family members from Southern Indiana, Northern Kentucky and South West Ohio.
The information that I have on William DANIELS/DANIEL being from Wales has
been passed down from family member to family member. I am now questioning
the truth to information passed down from generation to generation. I am now
wondering if he would be from a DANIELS/DANIEL family line that had already
been in the US for a generation or two. I have found very little official
documentation on my DANIELS/DANIEL family.
My Grandmother, Bonnie Bell DANIELS-STEIN told my mother that the store
(building #5)http://www.connerprairie.org/bstore.html was the home that my
Grandmother, Bonnie Bell DANIELS-STEIN was born in.
My Grand Mother told my Mother that this home was built by my Great-Great
Grand Father William DANIELS, Great Great Uncle William Henry Harrison
DANIELS and Great Grand Father Bezaleel DANIELS some time between the mid to
late 1800's on A farm that they had in Grassy Forks, Indiana. I have also
been told that it was sold to the Melloncamp's and my Great Aunt Blanche
DANIELS had to sign papers for it to be moved to Conner Prairie in
Noblesville, Indiana. I would like to know if you can verify this
information and have the our DANIELS family history associated with the
home (store #5). Any information or help would be greatly appreciated.
Have a Great Week! Looking forward to hearing from you! Thank You!
