Daniel was one of the wealthiest men in the area serving as one of the justices of Augusta court, his last term ending with the formation of Rockingham Co. He was a member of the Third Virginia Convention in 1775. Daniel joined his sons John, Daniel, Joseph and Robert in Yorktown and fought in the seige. He took office on March 26th 1781 as County Lieutenant of Rockingham. On the return of Rockingham's troops following the surrender there was a great celebration and a grand review of the troops. Daniel's horse became frightened and bolted when the soldiers opened fire during the "running salute" causing his death a few days later. [S67]
