Notes:

After the Federal Government built a road from Acmulgee River in Georgia to the Territory of Mississippi, Robert and his wife Sarah McColphin moved and bought land outside of Monticello, Mississippi the county seat of Lawrence County, Mississippi. A son by this union named William married and moved to his house not far from Monticello near the Hespegah Baptist Church. The archives in Jackson, Mississippi, state on the Microfilm this home as a beautiful two-story frame house that had stood in perfect condition for over a hundred years. William had many descendants and the family cemetery has the remains of many Daniels interred there. A family reunion is held at Hespigah Church every year. After Sarah's death, Robert married Sarah Morrow. From this union, a son Robert II, a sister Mary Ann who married Jacob Magee, Sarah Ann who married Abram Harvey, a son Willis who never married. William Daniel's two sisters were Delaney Daniel married Jesse Ward, Elizabeth Daniel married to Andrew Hartzog. Robert Daniel II and his second wife Sarah Morrow moved their family to Sandy Hook on Pearl River which is out from Varnado, Lousiana in Washington Parish. They purchased many acres of land and built a fine two-story home. They brought with them many slaves. Robert II died October 14, 1848. He was buried near the home designated as a family cemetery. There is no record I have found giving the birth and eath dates of Sarah Morrow. We assume that she was buried by Robert II. The family cemetery has an iron fence around it and the only tombstones are those of Robert II and his son Willis. A large old cedar tree stands inside with a climbing red rose reaching to the top. At Robert's death, his daughter, Sarah Ann, and her husband, Abram Harvey moved in with the widow, Sarah Morrow Daniel. Other than for the sake of companship, this arrangement seems a bit superfluous, for Grandma Morrow was a hustler, busting about wearning a chatelaine from which suspended a tremendous bunch of keys, and generally pretty capable of taking care of any situation. Her grandchildren say that this large Redheaded woman frequently held a slave in one hand and whipped him herself with the other.
