Minister of the Gospel with the Methodist Episcopal Church.
He also served as Justice of the Peace from 1832 to 1836.
The Minutes of the Annual Conferences of the Methodist Episcopal Church for the years 1839-1845 Volume III Page 89 [Alabama Conference of 1841], records that Daniel Monaghan died in the year 1841. His obituary from this publication reads as follows.
ALABAMA CONFERENCE. 22. Rev. DANIEL MONAGHAN. The subject of this memoir, our reverend father and brother, was born in Chesterfield district, South Carolina, in 1772; [no Monaghans are listed in the 1800 South Carolina, Second Federal Census of the United States] converted in 1809, and the same year joined the Methodist Episcopal Church. He entered the itinerancy in 1814 in the South Carolina conference, and was appointed to Little Pedee circuit ; 1815, Rocky River, at the close of which year he was ordained deacon ; 1816, Georgetown; 1817, Black River; 1818, Wateree ; ordained elder that year, and located. He removed to Tennessee in 1819, laboured on Cany Fork circuit in 1820 md 1821. In 1822 he removed to Green county, Alabama, and remained local until 1830, when he was appointed to Tombeckbee circuit; 1831, Marengo ; 1832, Tom- beckbee; 1833, Cedar Creek; 1834, Prairie Creek; 1835 and 1836, Marengo; 1837, Greene; 1838, Cedar Creek; 1839, Livingston ; 1840, Marenijo; at the next conference, which met at Selma, January, 1841, he asked and obtained a superannuated relation. But in this situation he was to remain only for a short time. On the 20th of March following, at the call of the great Head of the church, he took a transfer from this world of sorrow to the world of spirits, the land of peace and rest, where his reward awaited him, aged sixty-eight years, five months, and five days. As a Christian he openly professed that high attainment of the gospel the peculiar glory of Methodism sanctification. As a minister he was emphatically himself. His method of sermonizing was simple, natural, and original. His impassioned, felicitous, and yet singularly strong method of expression, was peculiar to himself. His numerous tropes, drawn from the most familiar objects of life and nature, never failed to excite emotion in the hearer by some unexpected illustration.
