Update on Consadie EADES Part 2

To read Part 1 go HERE

This post is a continuation of my prior post updating some new information on Consadie EADES-MCDANIEL that I wanted to share with my readers.

When we left off I was speaking about Ms. Wilson, in her article having stated that Albert MCDANIEL was the son of George and Merkie MCDANIEL and how I have not proven that statement to be true.

I did some thinking and granted this only a hypothetical statement and I do not have anything to back it up. I am only listing it here to see what others might think about it. Ms. Wilson was adamant about the fathers name being George and the mother being Merkie. We have ruled out George Washington MCDANIEL and America COPE. So lets assume that perhaps Allen MCDANIEL and Rebecca BART were actually named: George Allen MCDANIEL and America Rebecca BART? Bear with me for a minute. Naming traditions a lot of the times hold to the fact that parents name their first born after themselves and or grandparents. So, we can see that Allen and Rebecca`s first son was named: George and their daughter (My great x 2 Grandmother) was named: Amanda "America" Clementine McDANIEL. Perhaps they named their children after themselves? Its not far fetched, but is only my thinking. I intend to do some research to see if I can turn up any records that might point to this. Let me first say, I know one of the golden rules in Geneaology is to never assume anything. So, please let it be known this is ONLY an assumption on my part and I cannot prove it with facts, as of yet. So, take it for what its worth. If that is not the case then I have no clue where she got those names for Albert`s parents as my information proves that his parents were Allen MCDANIEL and Rebecca BART.

I want to share with you a census record from the year 1870. One should always pay close attention to the neighbors living nearby when you do research on any family. Often they are extended family members living in the family farm or nearby.

Lets take a look at each of the households represented on this census. I will number them and label their members below.

• Household # 41  Gilpen EADES
• Wife-Patsey (VEST) EADES
• Dolphus DISHMAN (Grandson)
• Rurass DISHMAN (Grandson)
• Household #42 Alfred DANIELS
• Emeline DANIELS (Wife)
• Rebecca DANIELS age 7 months
• Household #43 Lewis DANIELS
• Rainey (EADES) DANIELS wife
• Gilpen (age 2)
• Household # 44 Beccie DANIELS (Rebecca BART-MCDANIEL-Allen`s Wife, Alberts Mother)
• Margaret DANIELS-age 18 (Rebecca & Allen`s Daughter)
• Household #45 Albert DANIELS
• Fannie (EADES) DANIELS (this is Consadie)
• Patsey-Daughter-age 7 months.
• Household #46 Thelbert DISHMON
• Nancy-Wife
• Boyden DISHMON-Son-age 2
• Laura EADES-age 12-relationship not listed
• Household # 47 Ellis DAVIS (Not Visible in Screen Shot above but on actual census)

I think that the 1870 census clearly shows us how these folks are related one to another. This looks to be the land or farm owned by Gilpen EADES as Ms. Speece was referencing in her article. (See Post 1). Lets explore those relationships.

1. Alfred MCDANIEL in household # 42 are the daughter and son in law of Gilpen and Patsey. Emeline is Jennie Jane EADES.
2. Lewis MCDANIEL in household #43 is the son of Allen MCDANIEL and Rebecca BART, his wife Rainey is the daughter of Gilpen and Patsey EADES.
3. Beccie DANIELS listed in household #44 is Rebecca BART, wife of Allen MCDANIEL and mother of Alfred, Lewis, Albert MCDANIEL.These boys married daughters of Gilpen and Patsey.
4. Household #45 is Albert and Consadie (Albert is living next door to his mother Rebecca and his father in law Gilpen EADES)
5. Household # 46 is Thelbert DISHMON. (Thomas Athlelbert DISHMON and his wife Nancy, Nancy is the daughter of Gilpen EADES)
6. Household # 47- Melvina Lavina EADES daughter of Gilpen & Patsey she married Alexander Ellis DAVIS.

I am not sure at this time where the WILLIAMS family fits in but know they tie in somehow. Please note that Melvina and Alexander DAVIS had a daughter and they named her: America Merila (Merky) DAVIS. So in that case we can see that the name America was shortened to Merky.

Note: I am not certain that the above Alfred MCDANIEL is the son of Rebecca and Allen MCDANIEL. I have to do some more research to see where he fits in at. 

Stay tuned for more updates. I think I have conclusivley proved time and again that Consadie EADES married Albert Allen MCDANIEL and that Albert Allen MCDANIEL was the son of Allen MCDANIEL and Rebecca BART. What more does anyone need to see this fact? The records speak for themselves.
