    Comments: From Paul R.COPPOCK"S "Mid-South--Vol. III" "Clement MCDANIEL soon after 1800(Actual date 1804) sold his plantation in Virginia and his slaves, excepting house servants, and moved with his wife and four unmarried children to Nashville. He brought $50,000 to Nashville and went into the foundry businesss. Ten years later his money was gone and he was too crushed to remain in Nashville. He sold his remaining slaves, except for one man, obtained a flatboat and floated his family and household goods down the Cumberland River." Once on the Mississippi River a storm drove the terrified "floaters" into the Loosa Hatchie River between Memphis and Big Creek where they settled for the rest of their lives (now Shelby Co.) Here the Capt. made a come back of sorts. In 1834 he wrote a letter to his daughter Martha McDaniel Douglas "We would like to have all of our children and grandchildren, but one of our chimneys has fallen down, and if the weather should be cold, we have but one to occupy.... and since your mother and I have grown so old and craisy, we should be excused...." Note: He left Nashville on his Keel boat in 1819 and went to Shelby County.
