References
  1. 1.0 1.1 .
  2. 2.0 2.1 John McDaniel was born in New Castle County, Delaware. In 1735 John's father and his
    three brothers moved to Big Springs, Cumberland Co., PA. John was about 21 years old
    at the time and married Mary Thompson. John and Mary stayed in Mill Creek, New Castle
    Co., DE to be near Mary's parents. We know that John and Mary had two sons, Alexander and Isaac in New Castle because they are named in Alexander Thompson's Will, Mary's father..
    Some time during the mid 1760's they moved to and acquired 115 acres of land in Brocks Gap, Augusta County, Virginia and resided there until 1769. The sale of the property in Brock's Gap was finalized in 1772. I believe they took Braddock's Road from Augusta Co., to Chadville, Georges Twp., Fayette County, Pennsylvania where John and Mary, Isaac and Alexander all owned farms. John died in Chadville in 1786 and Isaac died there in 1797.
    Their neighbors in Chadville were: John and Thomas Carr, Thomas Reed, Icabod Ashcraft, Joseph Combs, Henry Smith, William and Jacob Downard,Zadock Springer, and Maunus Brown.
