200. Robert Thomas DANIEL was born on 10 Jun 1773 in Middlesex County,
VA. and died on 14 Sep 1840 in Paris Co., TN,
at age 67.
General Notes: See "Biblical Recorder" (1835-40 )( Raleigh) for
additional
information.
Camden, SC Journal. Camden Journal 4 Nov., 1840 - "Died
on the 14th of September, at the residence of his son, in Parish,
Tenn.,
in the 68th year of his age, and 38th year of his ministry, Elder
Robert
T. Daniel. We think a native of this state and for
several years,
pastor of the Baptist Church in this city."
Robert married Penelope Cain FLOWERS in
1796. Penelope was born in Chatham County, NC and died on 1 Jan 1840 in
Salem, MS.
Children from this marriage were:
411 M i. Hardy
Saunders DANIEL was born about 1800.
412 M ii. William DANIEL was born in
1804.
413 M iii. Unnamed DANIEL was born after
1804. Another name for Unnamed was ? DANIEL.
414 M iv. George DANIEL was born in 1806.
+ 415 M v. Robert Ward Thomas , Rev. DANIEL was born
in 1810 in Raleigh, NC and died on 17 Oct 1883 in Brandon, MS,
at
age 73.
If Robert T Daniel married Penelope Cain Flowers in 1796, the marriage
probably occurred in Chatham Co, the bride's home. From the Richard
Woodward deeds, we know that Daniel was a resident of Wake Co in 1807
and 1808. From the deposition below, we know he was still a resident of
Wake Co in 1810. According to the above, he was born about 1773 and
became a minister at age 30, which would have been about 1803. Why
would a minister have wanted these two tracts of land? Or was he buying
the land to help out a friend or relative? I have not checked the deeds
to see when he sold the land.
Robert T Daniel also left a deposition that indicates he was
well-acquainted with Richard Woodward's family:
The August, 1996 issue of "NC
Genealogical Society"
gives the following:
Young Utley and Mary Woodward, dated 20 October
1806
with bondsman-Richd. Woodward; also Young Utley and Lotty Norris,
dated 3 February 1812, with bondsman-Wm. Utley. Also that
Young Utley was getting a divorce. "At the time of
marriage, said Polly was in an advanced stage of pregnancy" which was
unknown to your orator, but from circumstances which had previously
taken place between them. he had reason to believe that he himself was
the cause of her situation"..How painful was his situation when within
two months and eight days after marriage, the wife he so tenderly
loved was delivered of a mulatto child....Prays for a divorce from his
said wife Polly. Also..
a. Deposition of Robert T. Daniel,
Silas
Greene and Henry Brown before William Boyland, J.P. of Wake County,
N.C., 11 Dec 1810: Young Utley of Wake County
intermarried with Mary Woodard about three or four years ago and within
three or four months after the marriage, said Mary was delivered of
a female child which we believe to be a negro or mulatto.
Sometime
after the birth of said child, the said Polly (Mary) went to the state
of Tennessee and lives with another person.
b. Depostion of Michael Duskin, Jr., J.P.
of Wake
County, 30 November 1809: On 20 October last, he was
at the house of Richard Woodward who lives near the line of Tennessee
and Kentucky, where Polly Utley, the reputed wife of Young Utley of
this state and county resided at this time. He further deposeth
that he observed a child that said Polly was reputed to have had
born before she left this state. From his own observation,
the said child was of mixed blood and either a negro or very dark
mulatto.
c. A bill to divorce Young Utley of the
County of
Wake from his wife Polly. In Senate (19 December) and in House (20
December)-read third time and passed.
This is copied from the former newspaper column, Looking Backwards, written by the late Hugh Johnston.
Jacob Flowers, son of Jacob Flowers Sr., married Elizabeth Cane in Edgecombe County on April 19, 1763, bonded by Jacob (X) Flowers Sr. and witnessed by John Spendelow. In July, 1766, the Edgecombe County Court appointed Jacob Flowers trustee of Hardy Flowers, grandson of Jacob Flowers, deceased. On May 5, 1774, Jacob Flowers, Duncan Lamon, and Archibald Lamon witnessed the will of Benjamin Ricks of Edgecombe County. On March 6, 1775, Jacob and Elizabeth (X) Flowers sold Duncan Lamon of Edgecombe County for £200 in Proclamation Money 200 acres south of Tar River adjoining Lamon and Dorman's Branch; for £100 a tract of 85 acres north of Tar River; for £ 40 a tract of 205 acres on Maple Creek and Polecat Branch beginning "where the road leading from Lamon's Ferry crosses the great branch," and adjoining the Denson line, witnessed by John Cahoon Jessee Pridgen, and Archibald Lamon. January 1, 1778 found Jacob and Elizabeth (X) Flowers living in Chatham County and they sold William Cahoon Jr. of Edgecombe County for £50 Proclamation Money 700 acres on both sides of Tyarcoca(sp) Swamp adjoining John Cahoon, William Cahoon, and the Jessee Flowers line; witnessed by Duncan Lamon and Archibald Lamon. In the Chatham County Census of 1790 Jacob Flowers appeared with Himself, one male under sixteen, six females, and fifteen slaves. The writer does not know what became of the family after that date.

SAMUEL WARD of WILKS CO., NC, sells to JAMES KIRBY of Chatham Co.,
NC, for 50 pds, 300 acres on the N. side of Bush Creek and the waters
of
Newhope,
joining JACOB FLOWERS and JOHN MORGAN.
Again we see that a James Kirby was still living in the same area. In fact, he had purchased land that adjoined Jacob Flowers Jr.
Since these are estate records, this could indicate that Jacob Flowers Jr had died and a slave from his estate was being sold. Or Jacob Flowers Jr could have been acting as executor or administrator to someone else's estate and was selling a slave from that estate. The actual record should be checked.

From this we know that the father of Hardy Kerby of Robertson Co, TN had remained in Chatham Co, NC when Hardy and perhaps others from this family moved to Robertson Co, TN. James Kerby of Chatham Co is certainly a possibility, but I have not found a record that names his children.
