NOTE: These dates are just estimates on my part
JAMES MCDANIEL was a man full of energy and enterprise, was a large slave owner before the war, and afterwards was an extensive land owner. He seemed to have a foresight as to the results of the war, and sold many of his slaves before the commecement of that great struggle. He opposed secession and, remained and, although opposed to the war, gave horses to many cavalrymnen, and also gave freely to the women and children of the soldiers.
In 1864, during the Civil War, he took his family and refugeed in Fayette county, western Texas, where he remained until after the close of the war, and then returned to his home. Mr. McDaniel was converted at the age of fourteen years, and lived a consistent Christian the remainder of his life, and was also a member of the F. & A. M.
