Although I know that the "annotated" census' and the recreated marriage records say that Hannah Fugate is the one who married John McDaniel in 1826 in Perry Co., I read the 1850 Breathitt Co. census differently. The census lists, in this order:
John McDaniel, 60, VA;
HANNAH FUGATE, 49, TN;
Alfred ", 7;
Celia McDaniel, 24;
then the rest of the McDaniel children (marked by ") down through age 11, 9, 7 and 4.
The census-takers were not in the business of recording the maiden names of women, and they had strict instructions about the order they should list the names. This record states that "Hannah Fugate" and her apparent son, Alfred, were living in the household of John McDaniel. There were also several McDaniel children in the household. Properly, Hannah and Alfred should come at the end of this list. But also properly, her name should have been "McDaniel" if she had been his wife for nearly 25 years. She was probably his housekeeper. This Alfred Fugate, age 17, appears in the 1860 census of Breathitt Co., in the household of Jesse Fugate, 38, and his wife Clarinda. This household also contained Letty Fugate, widow of Jonathan.
Although I don't know for sure who Hannah, b. 1801, was, I think it is possible that she was the widow of one of Jonathan's sons, or that she was an unmarried daughter of Jonathan.
She could be the "Hannah Fugit, 47, widow, b. Clay Co. KY" who married "Levi Fugate, 57, wid, b. Russell Co. VA" in Perry Co. in 1852. That Hannah is also an unknown entity.
If you find good documentation that Hannah was indeed married to John McDaniel - her name on a death record of her child or some such original record - I'd appreciate hearing about it. Unfortunately, the clerk of Perry Co didn't bother to record the names of the brides in the early records. For more info, e-mail me: mdfugate@aol.com

1850 Breathitt Co.,Ky. census lists John McDaniel, 60, M, Farmer, born in Virginia and cannot read nor write. The census lists Hannah Fugate in the household, age 49, F, born in Tn.
Online Knott Co.,Ky. marriage records show John McDaniel and Hannah Fugate married 11/08/1826. John was married first to a woman who it is said was full-blooded Indian but it is not known who she was.
The 1850 census shows children:
Celia at age 24,
Polly at age 18,
Vasa at age 16,
Thomas at age 14,
Wiley at age 13,
Shadrack at age 11,
Mary at age 9,
Matilda at age 7 and
Lucy at age 4.
There is also another child shown as Alfred, age 7, but is listed right under Hannah Fugate indicating that his name would be Fugate and not McDaniel. An email from Molly Chapman Arvai confirms that Hannah Fugate was the mother of Celia, Polly and Vasa. She obtained this information from the grand-daughter of Vasa before she died. The granddaughter was named Molly. Since the other children were born later than Celia, Polly and Vasa, it is assumed that Hannah Fugate was also their mother.
