== Biography ==According to a very well-researched piece on Daniel Gaines:Margaret Amundson, [http://www.frenchfamilyassoc.com/FFA/CHARTS/Chart036/DanielGaines.pdf Daniel Gaines of Colonial Virginia] (PDF):"...the marriage date of (1662 for Daniel) Gaines is derived from the record whereby John Catlett turned over the property of his half brother’s children to Gaines in January 1662 in Old Rappahannock County, Virginia. The 1662 event signaled a recent marriage to the children���s mother thus identifying her as Margaret, the widow of Ralph Rouzee. Tradition has called her Margaret Bernard, because the couple named a child Bernard. However there are no corroborating records supporting this conclusion. From this January 1662 date it is reasonable to conclude the issue of the Gaines-(?) Rouzee union were born no earlier than late 1663." [During this era, January 1662 was towards the end of the year; after 25 March the year became 1663.]
