"George Wade was one of the earliest citizens of Columbia. He had
been born in North Carolina and had moved to Lancaster County, from which
section he had entered the Revolution as captain of a company. In
Columbia he became owner of many squares of land, especially in the
southwestern section; his home is said to have been near the northwest
corner of Main and Green Streets. He was one of the incorporators of the
Columbia Male academy and of the Presbyterian church and in 1797 one of
the town commissioners. His wife, Mary McDonald, died August 22, 1779. He
married again Mrs. Martha Center, widow of Nathan Center (died in 1783),
a sister of Col. Thomas Taylor. When he died in 1824 he was buried, it is
said, in the Taylor graveyard; his grave is unmarked." History of

Notes:

Some historians claim the name McDaniel and McDonald were
interchangeable. The documents relating to this Daniel McDonald indicate
this was true. In some instances, Daniel McDonald signs legibly as
"McDonald" and again as "McDaniel". He signed his will as "McDaniel", but
refers in it to his eldest son as "McDonald". His will is in the
Charleston County Will Book dated 24 September, 1777.

"Katherine Fisher m. Thomas Steel and the Steels came to South Carolina
about 1745. Their first neighbor was Daniel McDonald, a Scotchman, who
had lived some fifteen or twenty years in his present home among the
indians in entire seclusion from any of the white race. McDonald was the
first pioneer into that district of the country. He amassed considerable
wealth and reared a large family of sons and daughters."
