The Daniells (originally D'Anvers or Danyers) are of English descent. their genealogy is directly traceable to the Knights of the Norman conquest. The Honorable Robert Daniell departed England in 1669,(via Barbados and Bermuda) bound for Port Royal Island, South Carolina. His voyage ended at the mouth of the Kiaway River in late 1669. Here was established the settlement of Old Charles Town where he became the Colonial Governor of South and North Carolina
Prior to leaving England, he was issued a Landgrave (8/12/1698) which entitled him to 48,000 acres of land, making him one of the largest landowners in the Carolinas, After settling in the Charles Town area, Daniell involved himself in shipping and political affairs until the success of the settlement aroused the jealousy of the Spaniards in Florida. In 1702, Daniell (who led naval forces) and Governor Moore (who led land forces) attacked Florida. Daniell took the Spanish Settlements of St. John and St Marys in route to St. Augustine.

Daniell family History Book 2 by Clara Daniell Williams or Lithia springs GA list the birth place of Robert as Lianddewi Brefi Cardigan County, Wales . I belive this is the most reliable information. [15]
