General Allen Daniel married Mary Jones (whose nickname was Polly), around 1792, most likely in Franklin County, GA, where her Jones parents lived. Note: Franklin County is just north of Madison and Elbert Counties, where this Daniel family first appeared in Georgia after leaving North Carolina around 1785. Allen and Mary's children are: Frances Daniel Powell, Nancy Daniel Strickland, Russell Jones Daniel, Lucinda Synthia Daniel Ware, William C Daniel, Mary Ann Daniel Griffith, Jane Daniel, Captain James Woodson Daniel, Allen C Daniel, and Elizabeth Daniel Sorrells.
Allen Daniel's parents have been confirmed by detailed research of documents in Elbert County, GA. His father was William Daniel and his mother was Nancy (birth surname unknown as of 2023). Y-DNA has verified that Allen connects to the Daniel family that lived in North Carolina from the mid-1750s. William Daniel was found in Wake, Rowan, Johnston and Granville County records in NC, before receiving a land grant on Beaverdam Creek in what later became Elbert County, GA, in September 1784.
One specific court document, dated 1800, in Elbert County clearly linked his sister Agnes Daniel (as a young girl) and father William Daniel back to the community of Salisbury, Rowan County, North Carolina (source: Elbert, GA Deed Book F, p. 118, 18 Feb 1800). The document even mentions that Agnes was married to Thomas Keys, which is a fact commonly known even by Daniel researchers who have previously identified other parents for Allen. This one document, a recorded statement by Jeremiah Walker, proves that Allen's father was William, as it clearly identifies Allen's sister and her husband.
Y-DNA has confirmed a link between descendants of Woodson Daniel, Captain John Daniel (believed to be a son of Woodson Daniel). John Daniel left NC for SC and settled in Elbert County around 1800). This links all 3 back to the family of James Daniel and Elizabeth Woodson. The EXACT relationship is not confirmed by Y-DNA, but the estimated years of birth for Woodson and William Daniel are consistent with the theory that they both were brothers, as 2 sons of James and Elizabeth. James Daniel was found in North Carolina as of the mid-1700s. Note, these family names confirm the reason that Allen Daniel named one of his sons JAMES WOODSON Daniel. Lastly, Y-DNA is the most reliable form of commonly used DNA testing.
