Daniel served in the War of 1812 and was one of the detachment of soldiers who received Com. Perry's prisoners from the ship and marched them to the guardhouse. He was a member of Capt. Alexander's Company of the Pennsylvania Militia.
Daniel married Elizabeth Frankenberger on 5 Mar 1818 at the 1st Evangelical Lutheran Church in Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
By some time in the 1830's Dan and Elizabeth had moved to Gettysburg, PA where he became the Steward of the Theological Seminary of the Evangelical Lutheran Church. In this position, he was responsible to the maintenance of the building and the grounds which housed the Seminary Students. At that time there was only one building and today it houses the Adams County Historical Society. He chopped the wood, took care of the cows, and other animals, which were a source of food for his family and the students. Elizabeth cooked and washed for the students, along with raising a garden.
Today, the quarters in which they lived are still there in the basement along with the large fireplace.
