Robert & Nancy E Daniel
Residence : 1866
Pottsboro, Grayson Co., Texas
Age 38
Moved from Missouri to area northwest of Pottsboro ~ Martin Springs, Grayson Co., Texas in a covered wagon.

After the War, Robert went to Ellis County, Texas where some old friends and family from northwest Missouri had settled earlier when he and recently widowed Nancy Graham Branum  agreed to marry and return to Missouri, where they remain a short time and returned to Texas, where they settled on the old homestead, just west of Pottsboro.
Nancy was the mother of eleven children, eight of whom survived her.  When she and her husband located and settled on their land, sometime in 1854, they did not have many neighbors.  There was a settlement at Martin Springs and a ranch home where Pottsboro now stands, and perhaps a half dozen pioneer log cabins scattered around, within a radius of six or seven miles.
