Biography
Daniel was born in 1781. He was a son of Clement Shinn and Ruth Bates.
Daniel Shinn married Mary Whiteman on August 18, 1801 in Harrison County, Virginia (now West Virginia).[1] Together, they had many children including:
- Elias Shinn (1804-1876)
He passed away in 1851.
In 1823 he moved to Tyler County, VA; in 1829 upon a flat boat, which he constructed at the mouth of Middle Island Creek in Virginia, he was transferred to Cincinnati. Selling his boat there he took passage on a canal boat to Hamilton, Ohio, and from thence was transferred by team to Henry County, Indiana. His wife died in 1833; he then removed to Fayette, then Blackford County, Indiana; thence to the home of his son Elias at Dubuque, Iowa; he died at Uniontown, Illinois, 1851, at the house of his nephew, Hiram.
