This post has most (not all) of the wills and a few key deed records of the Daniels in all of the Virginia Counties, where the Daniels appear.

No effort has been made to sort out family relations. Rather, I just record the wills and other probate in an abstract summary. You can have the fun of sorting them out!

Bonus: some out-of-state counties are included.
