Some family members believe that Amanda America Clementine McDaniel was the daughter of Allen McDaniel and Consadie Eades. However, I am not one of them. I beleive her to be the daughter of Allen and Rebecca McDaniel.
Lets begin with Allen McDaniel:
Allen McDaniel was the son of Allen McDaniel SR and Rebecca Eads who by the way are the parents of my Great, Great, Grandmother Amanda America Clementine McDaniel and her sister Lutisha. (See my earlier blog posts on these two women).
You will find Allen living with his parents and his sisters on the 1850 Census in Davie County, North Carolina.
1880 Census-New Hope, Iredell, North Carolina
- Allen McDaniel-age 32-born North Carolina
- Fannie McDaniel-age 25-born North Carolina
- John McDaniel-age 6-born North Carolina
- Vance McDaniel-age 4-born North Carolina
- Amanda McDaniel-age 2-born North Carolina
Lets stop for a minute and look at a prior conversation between Freida Wilkerson and I on a message board, this is the statement she made:
"The Heritage of Iredell County 1980" by the Genealogical Society fo Iredell Co. has a page about the MCDANIEL family.
wrote by Hazel Speece Wilson. She states CONSADIE married ALBERT MCDANIEL, son of GEORGE and MERKIE MCDANIEL of Davie Co. N.C. They reared 8 children, : NOTIE, DAISYM JACK, VANCE, HENRY,JOHN, JANE AND AMANDA.
Hazel Speece Wilson has since passed away so I am unable to contact her directly to find out where her information came from and I have not read the book that Frieda references in her above post. However, take note that now Frieda is saying that Consadie married Albert McDaniel and before the man she married was Allen? Perhaps his name is Albert Allen McDaniel?? Anyhow, without knowing where Ms. Wilson got her information I still am inclined to doubt it at this point.
Allen McDaniel (the man in this post) and his wife Sadie had a daughter named: Daisey McDaniel who married a Brewer. This information I am certain of. See the source below:
North Carolina, Deaths, 1931-1994," index, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FGPQ-YHZ : accessed 10 Mar 2013), Allen Mcdaniel in entry for Daisy Mcdaniel Brewer, 22Oct1975.
The information just from that source alone verifies that Allen McDaniel did marry Sadie Eades and they are the parents of Daisey McDaniel Brewer.
Now I find a North Carolina marriage record for one Nattie McDaniel (Allen and Sadie` daughter) and in said record, Nattie`s parents names are listed as: J.A McDaniels and Kansadie McDaniels. Nattie married a John A. Dishman son of Silas and Adeline Dishman.
North Carolina, Marriages, 1759-1979," index, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/F884-1J7 : accessed 10 Mar 2013), Kansadie Mcdaniels in entry for John A. Dishman and Nattie Mcdaniel, 25 Dec 1919.
So, from the above records we now have the names: J. A (Allen) and Kansadie (Sadie) McDaniels.
On to the 1920 Census for Iredell, North Carolina
- Kansadie McDaniels-age 64 born NC
- Notie McDaniels-age 20-born NC
- John Dishman-age 25-born NC
The Notie in the census above is the Nattie in the above Marriage record, just a misspelling of her name, I presume.
On the 1910 Census for New Hope, Iredell County, North Carolina we find:
- Alvim McDaniels-age 60
- Causady/Cansady McDaniels-age 55
- Mandy McDaniels-age 30
- Jane McDaniels-age 24
- John McDaniels-age 20
- Daisey McDaniels-age 15
- Nola McDaniels-age 11
On the 1900 Census for New Hope, Irdell, North Carolina we find:
- Allisom McDaniels-age 52
- Cansada McDaniels-age 48
- Mendy McDaniels-age 27
- Henry McDaniels-age 21
- Jessie McDaniels-age 15
- John McDaniels-age 10
- David McDaniels-age 8
- Roy McDaniels-age 4
- Allen McDaniel-age 32
- Fannie McDaniel-age 25
- Vance McDaniel-age 4
- Amanda McDaniel-age 2
Given the above census info one can conclude that Kansadie`s nickname was Fannie, as they were married in 1873 according to the census records I have seen. I have yet to locate their marriage record but will update once I do.
To me the conclusion to the whole mess is as plain as the nose on ones face! Amanda America Clementine McDaniel was NOT The daughter of J.Allen McDaniel and Kansadie/Consadie Eades McDaniel or the daughter of Albert Allen McDaniel and Consadie Eades as many purport, instead she was the SISTER of J. Allen McDaniel who married Kansadie/Consadie/Sadie/Fanny Eades. Kansadie and J.Allen had a daughter named Amanda "Mandy" McDaniel, however, she born in 1880 some forty-six (46) years AFTER Amanda America Clementine McDaniel was born! Need I say more?
