This is solved when you find out that McDaniel was related to Thomas Harbin, to Thomas A, Jones, to James Fowle, etc. That means also that they were related to each other. That had to be a "Safe House" on the "Secret Line".
PS. There is an error in the Index of CR. McDaniel does not appear in the Index, but the reference to Pg 467, and to him, is shown under McDonald and MacDonald.
(I have Corresponded with a descendant of that family, lives near Pittsburgh, PA, and got her family tree, showing the above.)
PS2. I have a picture of McDaniel, but it is poor. He is shown with a group of Veterans gathered near the Court House in the 1880's. He is labeled "Billy McDaniel".
Some day we may get a grasp of these doings, and finally understand how their system worked.

Great work. I imagine you know Elizabeth Lee.

Yes, I know Elizabeth Lee. I was the first President of the KG Hist. Society and she was Vice. Pres. She became Pres. next. We have been close friends ever since. She knows the McDaniel descendants.
Who incidentally, didn't know the family History. She is "everything" in the Society. (Manages the History Museum , too)

Elizabeth is a wonderful person and very knowledgeable. She was a very hospitable guide trudging through cemeteries with yours truly, Rich Smyth, and that young pup, Dave Taylor in tow.
