Subject: [DANIEL-L] DAR Application #165427 of Isabel Daniel SMITH, Apr 16, 1921
Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2001 09:58:49 -0400


This is a synopsis of information from the above approved DAR
application. I was amazed this quite early DAR information is not included
in the 1560 volume DAR database at Ancestry.com.
This is not a good copy of this application but I will try to do the
best job I can on it. This DAR application was included in the packet of
DANIEL information sent to me by Mrs. Lucy GRAY of Pensacola, FL. I will
capitalize all surnames, as appropriate.
