Hope I'm not repeating myself but it's important to know that it was exceedingly rare (both in America and in England) for a man to have TWO given names. Therefore, Daniel Stephen Radcliff is probably an incorrect name. Royalty and perhaps the aristocracy gave a man two names but it's highly doubtful that Daniel Stephen Radcliff was a man with two given names. Perhaps the Stalnaker Bible meant to say Daniel, Stephen, etc. Meaning two different men. How many of us have found an ancestor in the early 1700's with two given names?
