Daniel was a Confederate Soldier who served in the Virginia 54th regiment with his two brothers, Hiram and and William Parker. His father brought him home in 1862 suffering from yellow fever from which he, his wife and infant daughter, and mother and father all succumbed to. We believe he and his family are all buried with his mother and father in Hornbarger Cemetery in Vickers in unmarked graves.
The 54th Infantry Regiment was organized in October, 1861. It was soon ordered to Kentucky and took an active part in the engagement at Middle Creek. Later the unit was assigned to Trigg's, Reynolds', Brown's and Reynolds' Consolidated, and Palmer's Brigade, Army of Tennessee. On April 9, 1865, it merged into the 54th Battalion Virginia Infantry. The field officers were Colonel Robert C. Trigg; Lieutenant Colonels Henry A. Edmundson, William B. Shelor, and John J. Wade; and Majors John S. Deyerle, Austin Harman, and James C. Taylor
