Hi Gary!
I hope you are well. I have been busy with work and haven't had much opportunity to do genealogy lately.
Still, Daniel Stephen is at the top of my list...right next to my ancestors. For those of you just tuning in, DNA tells us that Gary and I are from lines connected only very, very long ago.
Ok, here is my 2 cents (which you have heard before, but maybe we can generate some discussion here). I have an ancestor with 2 given names. Thomas Logan Douglass Ratcliffe. About 1800. He is an exception, but only because he was named after Thomas Logan Douglass, a well known (at the time) Methodist minister.
Now we know that Daniel Stephen wasn't a Quaker (as DNA says his ancestors were) and that his descendents were Methodist. I have always wondered if he could have been named after Daniel Stanton, but that search was not fruitful.
He probably only went by Daniel or Stephen Ratcliffe.
I hope we find this in our lifetimes!
