Notes for Samuel A. McDANIEL
Profile of his grandson John Morrow calls him a "pioneer of Christian County" and a prosperous farmer and stockman.[ [801]] The 1860 Christian Co census lists 9 slaves: 2 females, 3 males and 4 children, one of which was mixed.
A story found in the State Historical Society of Missouri (no author listed, published by Steven McDaniel in the Feb. 1984 edition of the McDaniel Family Newsletter) contains the following information about Samuel:
“The McDaniel family came from North Carolina to the Ozarks fourteen years after the first log cabin was built on the site of what is now Springfield. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel A. McDaniel, with their family of three sons and four daughters of whom Jasper was the youngest, made teh tediuous overland trip to their new home by covered wagon. They settled on a farm in Christian coutny about nine miles from the present town of Ozark. This was about 1844....
“The mother of W.J. McDaniel died in March, 1865 and his father died in April, 1876. “Jasper was the sixth child , and at his father’s death received a handsome patrimony,” says the History of Greene County, published by R.I. Holcombe in 1883.”
There were TWO Samuel McDaniels in Christian/Greene Co, both of which had daughters named Nancy. The other Samuel m. Elizabeth and moved to Howell Co, MO, where all of their children married. Tying them to the Nancy m. Thomas Carthel and Bone Morrow resulted when people looked for marriage records in Greene Co, assuming that since the parents were there in the census, the children must have married there. However, Elizabeth McDaniel, widow of Samuel, is found in 1860 Howell Co, MO census with her younger children, and near two more of her sons.
