I have added a small bio for Daniel below as FAG maintains his memorial without one.
Daniel had a tobacco company in Detroit and in 1859 hired his "drifting"nephew Oren Scotten. Oren did much to improve the company and by 1887 they were both millionaires. Oren's family became benefactors of many in Detroit and is particularly associated with the Fort St. Church.
Oren and his wife Mary Clark Macgregor are buried in Sec. J. They are the parents of other children buried with them.
Memorial # 11451076 is for Oren.
