  Daniel and Susan lived in Riverton, VA, just outside Front Royal, Shenandoah Co. He and three of his sons were in the Civil War. Daniel served in the Cavalry as he owned a horse; his sons served in the Infantry. After the War, he, Susan and the younger children moved to Barton, MD. He was listed as a cabinet maker in the census. Samuel's first wife, Caroline, died in childbirth in 1883; Daniel and Susan moved back to Riverton to help care for Samuel's three children.
