None of the children were married at the time, and the ages fit. There were no other children born before 1810 and three born after 1810. The list I saw was not done in order of dwellings so I do not know who was living next to them at this time (it was alphabetical). My incliniation is that there is a strong possibility that this is our Daniel. (This came from the original 1810 Census)

Christopher Golder states that Daniel Kessler owes him a note of $30.68 dated 28 April 1834 due in three months. Kessler gave a mortgage on a tract of land in Green County on Trammell's Creek of 200 acres bounded by John Sandidge and recorded in Green County. The note is unpaid. He wants a sale of the land to pay the debt.

Whereas I stand justly indebted to Christopher Golder in the sum of $30.68 by note dated this day and due three months after date and said Golder stands bound as my security in a note to Thomas W. Lisle for $62.00 on the 16 December last and being desirous of securing the payment of the note to Golder and of securing him as my security in the note to Lisle, I have this day sold to C. Golder and his heirs a certain tract or parcel of land lying in Green County on Trammel's Creek containing 200 acres. It is bounded as set forth in a deed from John Sandidge to me now of record in the Green County Clerk's Office. If I pay off the note to Golder and hold him harmless as my security in the note to Lisle; then this mortgage to be void. This 28 April; 1834.
Daniel Kessler
