The official document and biography on the life and legacy of “The Known Breeder” Richard Allen Daniels.

On August 2, 1810, a man named Esco Sydney Daniels (1765-1832) arrived in Louisville, Kentucky and married a young lady named Sequoyah "Blue Lake" Tuttle(1796-1832).

Esco and his wife Sequoyah were said to be tall Indians who were mean to their neighbors. Sequoyah was said to be a 5’9 dark-skinned Blackfoot Indian who hair was a reddish color and braided to the back of her ankles. Esco was said to be a 6’6 foot tall Choctaw Indian who wore feathered boots with a nose ring which had to be shaped as a shark tooth.

Esco and Sequoyah had six children:

1. Gertrude Sallie Daniels (1812-1845)

2. Macon Warren Daniels (1814-1859)

3. Gola Beatrix Daniels (1815-1832)

Sanders Allen Williams was the last born of six children .

When May 27, 1832 came, a group of Irishmen gathered outside the Daniels home. They lit torches and threw them outside the house, breaking down doors and setting house on fire. Their home exploded, leaving two year-old Richard Sanders as the only survivor.

An Irish enslaver, Richard Franklin William, abducted Richard Allen Daniels. Williams took the child down to the jury and had his name changed to Sanders Allen Williams, leaving his Daniels last name to never be used again. Richard F Williams was a slave owner from either Maryland, USA or Amite County, Mississippi. Documents confirm that in 1840 he was located in Amite County, Mississippi.

The slave owners made them both agree at the age of thirteen to have children so Richard F Williams' plantation could have more native slaves.

Grandpa Sanders had all of his children and moved away back to Louisville Kentucky, where his life was close to an end . Before grandpa Sanders died, anywhere he traveled, he was known as the "Known Breeder." The "Known Breeder" nickname was given to him by the slave owner, Richard F Williams’s wife, Jane Wilson. (1816-1902).

Anywhere Sanders Williams traveled, the women would run away because they knew he might impregnate them.

On April 16, 1914 he got word from his grandson Cornelius Williams (Moses Son) to come move with him to Marshall Texas but his daughter Katherine Williams also sent word for him to move to Marshall county Texas.

When he arrived April 18 of 1914, and while he was approaching his daughter, Katherine’s doorstep which was filled with relatives , his grandson, Cornelius Williams took a old shotgun and fired at the back of grandpa Sanders‘s neck, killing him and leaving him dead on his daughters front porch.

Grandpa Sanders was killed over his land by his grandson. Even though grandpa Sanders did not get a chance to see all of his children grow up and succeed in life but grandpa Sanders had left a great legacy behind that will remain known for years years and decades.

Sanders Allen Williams was buried in an unknown location in Lodi, Marion County, Texas. He was buried near a tree stump, which is still there this day at Whitaker Cemetery (behind Harvest Williams' tombstone).

He had over 270 grandchildren 900+ great grand and more!

Even though grandpa Sanders had a niece who lived to see him before she passed in 1910, and he also had three siblings who lived a little longer, but he did outlive all of his siblings.

The known breeder will be remembered, always, and forever.

It was stated that he might appear on the 1860 census as (Sanders Daniels) or Allen Daniels/Williams.^[1]

Slave Owner

• Richard F Williams

Research Notes

• In the 1870 Census for Harriet Daniels there is a Stephen Daniels, age 6. Harriet is linked above in the bio to Sanders Williams as his step mother, but that is impossible since in 1870 she is only a year old. Harry Daniels (1833), the father of Stephen, and Sanders Williams (1834) are about the same age.
• The 1880 Census is for Sanders Williams born in Ohio as if he was given that birth location from the slave owner.

• Slave owner Information and sources need to be found about the family's enslavement in Kentucky or Louisiana.
