REASON McDANIEL, born in Knottsville Precinct, Dec. 20, 1817, was a son 
of John McDaniel, a native of Nelson County, Ky., who came with his 
father, Joseph McDaniel, to Daviess County when a boy.  Joseph and John 
McDaniel both died in this precinct in 1836.  Mr. McDaniel can remember 
when it was all woods from  Knottsville to Owensboro, and when deer and 
wild turkey were abundant.  He was married Feb. 25, 1840, to Cynthia 
McDaniel.  Of their nine children but six are living--Albert, Henry, 
Melissa G., Willis, Reason C. and Rufus P.  All are married but Melissa. 
 During the late war Mr. McDaniel enlisted in the Third Kentucky 
Cavalry, U. S. A.  His Captain, Albert Bacon, was killed at the battle 
of Sacramento, Ky., in 1861.  Mr. McDaniel was wounded in the same 
battle and captured.  He was discharged in 1863.  He now draws a 
pension.
