HISTORY OF KENTUCKY, by Lewis Collins, and J.A. & U.P. James, published 
1847.  Reprinted by Henry Clay Press, Lexington, Ky., 1968, pp. 207-208 
[Boyle county].

WALKER DANIEL, a young lawyer from Virginia, came to Boyle, then 
Lincoln, in 1781, and entered upon the practice of his profession.  His 
only competitor at that period, was Christopher Greenup, afterwards 
governor of the State.  Mr. Daniel was the original proprietor of the 
town of Danville, and succeeded in laying the foundation of an extensive 
fortune.  He was killed by the Indians in August, 1784, after a short 
residence of three years.  From an old pioneer of Mercer, we learn that 
Mr. Daniel was a young gentleman of rare talents, and gave promise of 
great distinction.
