Wm1860/James1868
These two ended up in Gallatin County, IL.William Jacob in 1880 census, James S by 1900. They are brothers. Records say both were born in OH. Parents are Silas (middle name for family is used often) and Mary (Evans) McDaniel. Silas is supposed to be from Cincinnati.I've checked every McDaniel in OH in the 1860 & 1870 census per the indexes for each. Can't find Silas, nor any children named Wm and James, the ages for their birthdates. (One odd thing I have found is a land purchase record for a Silas McDaniel in Gallia County for 1850, but the man is never mentioned in a Gallia County census.) Has anyone researching McDaniels, I don't care WHAT state, seen children these ages in a 1870 census?Does this ring a bell at all? So much info to go on, I thought, but only a dead ends.Thanks.
