Daniel Newnan/Newnon McIntosh was born in the Creek Nation of Georgia, the youngest son of Chief William McIntosh and Susanna Roe who was the Chief's second wife. Note: It was legal and common in the Indian culture for a man to have multiple wives. Daniel's father, Chief McIntosh was married to three women all at the same time. Daniel was named after a friend of his father's whom his father admired greatly, Daniel Newnon. Over the years Newnon has been spelled several ways. From family records, it seems Newnon is most correct.

Daniel received his education in local Indian schools and at Cane Hill College in Arkansas and at the R. N. Smith School in Louisville, Kentucky. He came from a highly educated family. His family members were leaders, they could read, write, and speak English and Creek. With this leadership came risks and adventure and the McIntosh family had plenty. His father was assassinated because of unrest and disagreement brought about by the European settlers of the United States and the American Indians. Daniel's father was one-half Scottish and one-half Creek Indian. His father often wore a unique costume of a tartan top and buckskin bottom.

Daniel Newnon McIntosh followed in his family's tradition, and he too was a leader. He represented Creek Indians at Washington D.C.. He was one of the Supreme Judges of the Creek Nation and was a Tribal attorney. During the Civil War he was a leader as well. He became a prosperous farmer, stockman, and businessman and was a wealthy man.

Marriage: Jane Ward in 1846 - she died in 1869 - Cherokee

Marriage: Emma Belle Gawler on April 03, 1874 Dist. of Columbia - she died in Dec. 1917

No evidence is found of a marriage to Winnie Canard. Winnie was the mother of two known children, Lizzie Vore and Betsey Thompson. On the Oklahoma Dawes Census Card, Lizzie Vore lists her parents and W. McIntosh and Winnie McIntosh. It appears that Winnie married W. McIntosh. It does appear that Winnie's son was Benjamin Wattie McIntosh, but so far, no evidence of Ben being the son of Daniel N. McIntosh is found. There is a Proof of Heirship document concerning Ben McIntosh which shows his parents as William and Winnie McIntosh.
