c.1822 |
Daniel McAninch probably died ca.1822, in his early 70s, in Giles County, Tennessee |
|
Daniel McAninch and many of his children were living in Giles County, and it is likely |
|
that Daniel McAninch probably died there in the early 1820s (estimated death ca.1822). |
|
There are no known records for a specific date and place of his death, and there are no |
|
known records of Daniel McAninch’s burial, only the presumption that he would have |
|
been buried soon after his death, and that he would have been buried by his family |
|
where they had been living, in Giles County, Tennessee. |
|
|
Myth |
Bert Austin said "Death ca.1818 Casey Co., Ky" (ca.1818 may be the time when |
|
Daniel left Casey County), but we know that Daniel died after 1820 [3, pg.19] [16]. |
|
|
Myth |
Daniel was NOT buried in Old Willow Springs Cemetery, Casey County, Kentucky. |
|
|
Myth |
However, there is no evidence for the specific assumption that “Daniel McAninch died |
|
in 1822 in Tennessee when he was 71 years old” Again, any software or online tree that. |
|
requires a single specific birth year (e.g. ancestry.com et al) will always be misleading. |
