Although Daniel's tombstone indicates that he was born in 1801, multiple old records make it clear that his birth year almost certainly was actually 1798.

He was a son of William and Nancy Knowles; he most likely was born in or very near the village of Concord in Broad Creek Hundred, Sussex Co.

Daniel was the husband of the former Mary R. Barr (1802-1879, daughter of Robert, Sr. and Betsey), whom he wed on 2 August 1820. The couple's children were: William (born 5 November 1823 - husband of Sarah Brown); Elizabeth (born 8 November 1826 - wife of James Taylor); Robert (born 2 August 1829 - husband of Emma Rector); Mary Ann (born 4 August 1832 - wife of Miles Tyndall [also spelled Tindle/Tindal], then of Charles H. Jones); Eliza Jane (born 20 May 1835 - wife of Thomas T. James); Daniel L. (born 7 February 1838 - husband of Anna Owens); Julia Ann Maull (born 11 March 1840 - wife of Isaac B. Short); and Sarah Catharine (30 June 1843 - 9 June 1923 - wife of Isaac Newton Tyndall [also spelled Tindal]).

At the time of the 1850 census, Daniel, a farmer, was listed as owning $10,000 worth of real estate. He resided and farmed in Nanticoke Hundred.

The Knowles-Tyndall Family burial ground is located southwest of Georgetown, on the edge of a woods just off the west side of Asbury Road, 8/10 of a mile northeast of Knowles Crossroads (the junction of Old Furnace Road and Asbury Road), and 4/10 of a mile northeast of the intersection with Raccoon Ditch Road.
