Daniel Barnwell CLELAND

[Gritsgal]

He is my g-g grandfather. Born 1839. He was in South Carolina and was in the Civil War. I can not find anything on his parents or siblings. I'm hoping someone can share information with me.  His daughter, Clara Jane Cleland (1884) married Johnnie Peeples.  I have a possibility that he was married to a Mary Smith. Sounds like an alias doesn't it? Maybe she was running from the law  .
If there is anyone with the slightest info I would be very grateful

Hi

Is this a possibility for you?

From the 1850 US census, a Barnwell Cleland (first name Daniel not listed though) born about 1836. See attachment from the census, showing mother Mary and siblings, but no father.

The only other possibility in another 1850 census was a Daniel Cleland born around 1838, but born and living in Virgina at that time. Living in Marion County. Mother Priscilla (born around 1793)? Daniel the second youngest of 8 children.

I could be way off track, but possibles?

Cheers

Ah nuts….oh well to keep looking for Daniel then....

One thing seems certain, is that Daniel did marry a Mary S Smith who was born in Jasper County. Mary’s name is listed on Clara’s death certificate.

It’s confusing that on Clara’s death certificate though that her father’s name is listed as B.R Cleland, and her birth year is given as 1882 rather than 1884. See attached.

Clara and John may have had more children, but through the 1910-1930 census records, there is Claud (1904-1919), Violet and Kenith(?).

Daniel and Mary had a daughter named Sara who never married, born in 1875 and died 5 May 1939 in Grays, Jasper. And a daughter Harriet who married H.G Smither. Harriet was born 1878 and died 1 March 1943 in Columbia, Richland.

All this doesn’t answer your question about Daniel’s siblings of course…
