            religious involvement on Daniel’s part.

            old man Bell’s.”17  These children were his sons, Theophilus

            Toulmin and Edmund Pendleton and daughters,  Maria Pacheco

            Padilla and Margaret. It is possible that all of his children

            were educated. The family interest in education is clearly

            established. The 2 brothers, sent to the school mentioned above,

            were later sent to board at a teacher’s home some distance away.

            passage.  It  was passed and one of its first appointed

            commissioners was  Daniel's son in law, Gabriel W. PRICE who had

            married Daniel’s oldest child, Eliza Ann, some months previous.

1827 Dec 28 KY Clay Co. Union Salt Works. Birth of dau. Lucinda C.[or F.]

            GARRARD.2,24

            Several sources have confused this Lucinda, Daniel’s daughter,

            with T.T.’s daughter, Lucinda, b. 1835/36 who is Daniel’s

            granddaughter.  It is thought that the grandaughter was living

            with her grandfather in 1850 while her father, T.T. was in CA

            for the gold rush.  Those in error include James Welch 1850

            Census, and Early  Families Eastern KY by William Kozee.

1835 Mar 2  KY, Clay Co. Appt. guardian of Lyna and Elizabeth McRoberts. No

            parents given. Theophilus Garrard also signed bond.  It is

            unknown how this family relates to the Garrards.30 If these are

            children of Thomas McRoberts,  it is unknown who has cared for

            them in the 5 years since his death.  It is thought that

            guardian means financial responsibility rather than physical

            care.

            1050 acres from Zachariah and Jesse Morgan.9

            29 It is curious that Daniel, a Confederate sympathizer, didn’t

            take action to have Robert designated an exchange prisoner or,

            Unitarianism,perhaps through Mr. T. [Harry Toulmin] his Secretary

            of State whose daughter was Gen. T.T.’s mother. [and Daniel

            Garrard’s wife.]”17
