Quick Facts

Peter Daniel and Mary Jane VanHoose are my 3rd Great Grandparents

When Peter Daniel was born in May 1833 (1) in Lawrence County, Kentucky, (2) his father, Isham Daniel, was 44 and his mother, Mary Borders, was 37.

He married Mary Jane VanHoose on 10 Sep 1852 in Johnson Co., KY at James VanHoose's Home. (3) They had eight children together between 1853 and 1877. Mary Jane VanHoose was born in 1834 (4) and died about 1882 at about the age of 48.

He then married Emaline "Emma" Borders about 1884 (5) and they had two children together between 1885 and 1888.

Peter died 11 May 1912 (6) at the age of 72.



These things were happening in the world around 1833:

1830 First Steam railroad to carry passengers and freight was the Baltimore & Ohio. Mormon church is formed by Joseph Smith in the US. Congress passed the Indian Removal Act to remove all Indians to west of the Mississippi.
1831 Nat Turner, a pious slave preacher, leads unsuccessful field slave rebellion in Virginia which claimed the lives of 60 whites before it was crushed by the militia. A hundred blacks were killed during the 2 month search for Turner who was finally captured and hanged.
1833 Balloon-frame houses, made of 2 x 4s instead of hefty barn-style beams, were invented by Chicago carpenter Augustine Taylor. Despite critics' predictions that prairie winds would blow them away, the houses proved sturdier than conventional designs. Within two decades frame houses built with mass-produced nails and precut lumber swept across the country. The National Road reaches into central Ohio. Described by one traveler as 'a broad, gravel-paved highway ... we are seldom out of sight, as we t
1836 The Battle of the Alamo.


Establishing Peter Daniel's Lineage

Prior to 1850 the census does not list family names other than the head of the household so it becomes more difficult to link a person to their parents. However in this case land records are our friend. Isham Daniel and Mary Borders are a well documented couple and Peter was one of their last children. There are several deed transactions documented for Isham Daniel that clearly link our Peter and several of his siblings to their deceased father Isham Daniel. (7)

Peter's father Isham died before 1850. In the 1850 census, (8) Peter is 17 years old and living with his widowed mother along with his brother Wyatt A. All his other siblings had left home by that time. In the marriage bond (9) for Peter Daniel and Mary Jane Vanhoose, it states that Valentine Vanhoose is the father of Mary Jane and Polly Daniel is the mother of Peter. This clearly connects this couple with their parents. Remember that Polly was a very common nickname for Mary.

Page 120 in the book Big Sandy Valley also links our Peter to Mary Borders and Isham Daniel. (10) (11)

Establishing Mary Jane VanHoose's Lineage

Mary Jane's parents are Valentine VanHoose and Jemima Borders. Valentine and Jemima married on 26 Jul 1821. (12) In the 1850 census Mary Jane is 15 years old and living at home. (13) Her family has real estate valued at $800 and her mother can not read or write.

Jemima Borders and Peter's mother Mary Borders are sisters, therefore Peter and Mary Jane are 1st cousins.

Marriage

Peter and Mary Jane married on 11 Sep 1852 in Johnson County. Peter was 19 and Mary was 18.

Their Life Together

  • Valentine Daniel was born on 18 Dec 1853 (14) , died on 14 Mar 1928 at the age of 74 and is buried in the Rice Family Cemetery (15) He married Mary J. "Dove" VanHoose on 19 Feb 1874. (16)
  • Melissa Allice Daniel was born 16 Dec 1856. (17) Melissa is not on the 1860 census so I assume she died young.

In the 1870 census Peter is 37 and Mary is 36. They have added General Farmer Daniel, my 2nd Great Grandfather, Peter and John. Their real estate is valued at $2000 and their personal property at $1000.

In 1880 Peter is 47 and Mary is 46. Mary says her father was born in NC. The have added Major A. and Rutherford B. H. Mary's mother, Jemima Borders, is living with them as a widow, is 74 years old and can not read or write. This supports Valentine VanHoose dieing on 12 Dec 1878 (I have no proof yet). The census also states that Jemima's father was born in England. Living a couple of houses over is their son Isom Daniel and Peter's brother, Wyatt A.

I have not found a death date for Mary Jane but by the 1900 census she is dead and Peter has been married to Emaline Borders for 17 years. He is 67 years old with a birth date of May 1833. He says his father was born in North Carolina but in the 1880 census he said his father was born in Virginia, which is correct. He is consistent in saying his mother was born in Virginia. Rutherford B. H. from his first wife is living with them along with two children he has with Emaline, Sonomia and Sarah. His stepson John C. Stafford, a teacher, is living with them.

Just looking at the ages of everyone involved, he fathered the two children when he was 55 and 57. Emaline would have been 42 and 44.

In 1910 the two daughters are still living with them and Sonomia is now married to Everett Spears and they have a son, Herbert Spears that is 1 year 10 months old. The step son John Stafford is still living with them at 32 years of age. Thomas Osborne, age 13, is living with them also. I don't know how he fits into the family. Living next door is one of his sons, Major A. with 5 children of his own.

Peter Daniel v. The United States

I am positive this is our Peter Daniel. The dates and places all line up with our Peter. He was about 28 when this event happened and lived near Whitehouse, Johnson County. It appears this action was started before Peter's death as a reference is made to House bill 9839, the Sixty-first Congress on May 7, 1910. I don't know anything more about this claim. It may have been paid to Peter's estate since he died on 11 May 1912.
