He married Harriet Adalaide Jones, the daughter of his 1st cousin, Anna Beets Jones and her husband, Jonathan Jones. Daniel and Harriet were married on 6 Feb 1848 in Independence, Jackson Co. Missouri. Daniel owned land in Johnson Co. Missouri, Jackson Co. Missouri and Miami Co. Kansas. Daniel enlisted in the Confederate Army, Co. G, 3rd Missouri Infantry on 10 Feb 1862 in Springfield, Greene Co. Missouri. His service is sketchy as he was listed as a patient in the hospital in Cave Creek, Arkansas soon after his enlistment. Several months later he returned to Independence, Missouri where he took the "Oath Of Allegiance" to the United States. He remained in Jackson Co. until his family was forced to leave when General Thomas Ewing issued Order No. 11 on 25 August 1863. It is unknown where the family went during this time. Upon returning to Jackson Co., Daniel and two of his neighbors were later conscripted into the Confederate Army by General Sterling Price's men on 21 Oct 1864 after the battle of The Little Blue in Eastern Jackson Co. Missouri. Daniel and the two neighbors escaped several days later and returned to Independence where they reported to the Provost Marshal. They were examined, place under guard and taken to Warrensburg, Missouri where they remained for about 2 days before being taken to the Gratiot Street Prison in St. Louis. The three men remained in prison while trying to secure their release. Daniel was scheduled for release, but died on 18 Jan 1865 at the Alton Prison, in Alton, Illinois. The conditions at Alton prison were harsh and the mortality rate was above average for a Union prison.

Beets, George Washington "Dick" Beets, Mary Eliza Beets, Josephine "Josie" Beets, Frances B. "Fannie" Beets and Delilah Emma Beets.
