He was born in Cheraw District, SC near Welsh Neck & the PeeDee River.

By 1802 he married Elizabeth Alief HAMMONDS Barrentine

He moved from South Carolina to Georgia along with Elizabeth's father, William Barrentine.

In 1813 he was a resident of GA,Jasper-Co. where he served as a constable.

About 1823 he moved his family to GA,Irwin-Co where he was a farmer & one of the earliest school teachers in GA,Irwin-Co.

1829-1833 He served as Justice of the Peace of the 433rd District.

1829-1838 He served as first Lieutenant of the militia in the 433rd District.

On 23 Mar 1845 he married a second time to Mrs. Sarah (HORTON) DUTTER.

In 1845 he moved to present day GA,Berrien-Co & made his home with his son, Jasper.

He was of the Primitive Baptist religious faith & he sought membership in the Flat Creek Church in GA,Berrien-Co. His letter was accepted on 10 March 1855 & he regularly attended their relligious services. Like many another good citizen of that time, he did not consider it altogether sinful to indulge in the use of ardent spirits occasionally. On 2 April 1856, he confessed to his brethren in church assembley, to having "used too much spiritous liquors" & was by them forgiven.

In 1857 the part of GA,Irwin Co where he resided went into the formation of GA,Wilcox Co.

About 1868 his son Jasper sold his property & moved to Colquitt.

Today the 2 grave cemetery is located about 10 miles from Nashville, Berrien Co, GA near the community of Rowertown. It is in the woods off Rowetown Church Road & on the grounds of what now is a hunting camp who grant access.

Research Notes

• Daniel's second wife was referred to as "Mrs. Sarah Dutter" on the marriage record indicating that this was a remarriage for she and Daniel. It is possible that Sarah was Sarah Ammons, daughter of Joshua Grantham Ammons and Sarah Grantham of North Carolina.

• Important not to confuse Daniel's second wife Sarah with his son Daniel Mack Luke III's wife Sarah Salley Miller. They were married in Nov. of 1823, but the records sometimes overlap due to the similar names.

Daniel was born in 1778. He passed away in 1863.
