Decendants of Mattie McDaniel
Have been searching in vain for my G-grandfathers family.I'm looking for the decendants of MATTIE McDANIEL in hopes that they can help.
I need information about Mattie's father John McDaniel and his brother Alexander. I have a good deal of info on their wives the Mathias sisters if anyone would like to share (or even if I can just help you)
Alexander was born in 1856 and John somewhere within that range. I found a census record that says their parents were born in Virginia. They were supposed to have been raised in Jay County, Indiana (where Alex is supposed to have been born) but I can find no evidence of either.
They moved to Scotland County, Missouri where they married two sisters Sarah Catherine Mathias (Alex) and Nancy Ellen (John). Alex stayed in Scotland County for 13-14 years, had all of his children there, and then moved to Iowa. I believe John and his family ended up in Marshalltown, Iowa.
Thats pretty much all I know. I can't find any evidence of birth, parents, or siblings. Can someone PLEASE HELP ME!
Thanks for taking time to read this, Pattie
