Narrative

Daniel STODGEL-Stodghill was born in Essex Co. Va where he married Jean Madison about 1730, no record has been found. Jean was probably a daughter of John Madison (II) but this is unproven. In 1732 Daniel received 150a of land in Orange Co. from the will of Ambrose Madison and in 1734 the will of Henry Madison directed his niece, daughter of Ambrose, to deed Daniel another 150 acres in Orange Co. from a tract of 1000a (which he owned jointly with Ambrose). This land adjoined that given to James Stodgill, brother of Daniel. Daniel later bought additional land in the valley of Swift run creek. Land and tax records indicate that Daniel and Jean also moved from Essex to Orange Co. in 1732 with his brother James but they did not remain there. About 1738/40 they returned to Essex Co. where their lived out their lives and they sold all their land in Orange Co. In 1755 Daniel bought 150a in Essex Co.(DB27-169) and in 1757 they bought an adjoining tract of 130a, (db27-260/63) This land was very near and possibly adjoined the land his father owned and where Daniel was raised. This land was sold by two deeds made in 1797 and 1809 by Daniel's grandson John, then in Lincoln Co. KY and his mother Mary of Essex Co. VA. Daniel and Jean had only one child who was James. -p. 31
