Generation No. 1
1. DANIEL1 MCDANIEL was born 1690 in Keppoch, Scotland, and died April 16, 1733 in Bertie Co., NC. He married SARAH BROWNE 1716 in Chowan Co., NC, daughter of THOMAS BROWNE and CHRISTIAN MUVLE. She was born 1695 in Chowan Co., NC, and died in NC.
Notes for DANIEL MCDANIEL:
Emigrated to America in ?1716, sailing aboard the Scipio. This ship was listed as arriving in Newfoundland or possibly in Virginia. He is listed as settling in Powhatan, Virginia. Port of departure not listed. But, Mcdaniel's are listed as coming from Glengary, Scotland, in books reviewed so far about the Clan Donald.
Daniel McDanell was transported to America as an indentured servant to Thomas Brown, after his capture at the Battle of Preston. Thomas Brown is apparently his future father-in-law as he is the father of Sarah Brown who he married soon after his arrival in America.
Scottish prisoners were sold in Maryland and other colonies by the English after the defeat of the Jacobites or Scottish Loyalists 13 Nov 1715 to place James Stuart, the old pretender, on the British throne after the death of Queen Anne in 1714. Hundreds of Scottish captives were thrown into unsanitary prisons and ultimately tried at Carlisle by an English jury. A number, however, rather than be tried for treason opted to be shipped to the American Plantations "Beyond the Seas" and sold into bondage.
Norman MacDonald in Edinburgh thinks that we are Keppoch MacDonalds as many of them were at Preston and the McDanell is simply what some Englishman heard when he was "tolled" for shipment. (Info from Clan Donald Genealogist, James A. McDonald, Savannah, GA, Sept. 01, 1998).
Our official Tartan is MacDonell of Keppoch, although according to James McDonald of the Clan Donald USA, we could choose any of the MacDonald Tartans.
Daniel (aka David) McDaniel's name appears in the early 1700's records of Bertie County, NC.
