Daniel Webb was born in 1830, in Marble, Cherokee county, North Carolina. About 1849, Daniel married Elizabeth "Eliza" Derreberry, born December 8, 1832, in North Carolina, a daughter of Benjamin Franklin Derreberry and Susannah Almarinda Hipp. [1] Daniel and Eliza became the parents of four children, before the onset of the American Civil War.
A special schedule was made of the surviving soldiers and their widows still living in the 1st Civil District of Loudon county, Tennessee. This schedule indicates that "Daniel S. Webb," died in while in prison. Daniel's widow, "Eliza" was still receiving her widow's pension in 1889 [2]

It is unclear whether the Daniel Webb that married Elizabeth Derreberry was Daniel T. Webb or Daniel S. Webb.
From the Find A Grave memorial for Daniel T. Webb, buried at Andersonville National Cemetery, which is located on a county line, half in Sumter county and half in Macon county, Georgia.
Camp Oglethorpe Prison was located near Macon, Georgia. It was used to confine Union military officers during the last full year of the Civil War, 1864. The officers survived well. No ill-treatment was noted by the over 1,600 officers confined at Macon.The camp was located south of Macon on a sandy incline formerly used as the county fair grounds. Shelter was provided for the Union prisoners as well as water and wood for heating. The old Floral Hall, a one-story frame building located in the center of the fair ground, was used to house 200 men. A stockade 16 feet high and similar in construction to the Andersonville stockade, surrounded the enclosure. A raid on Macon in late July by General George Stoneman's cavalry persuaded Confederate authorities to remove prisoners from Macon to Charleston and Savannah. By the end of September 1864 the prison virtually ceased operation
Fort Oglethorpe is a city predominantly in Catoosa County with some portions in Walker County
