Daniel H. Williams Was Wounded In 1863 at Battle of Shiloh

DANIEL H. WILLIAMS, was born in Muhlenberg County, KY, March 5, 1843; he is a
son of Daniel and Nancy (Shelton) Williams, who were natives of Virginia and
Kentucky, respectively.  They were married in Muhlenberg County, in 1815.
Daniel Williams was a farmer, and died in 1853, in Anderson County, Texas.  He
was a son of William Williams, who was also a native of Virginia, and served
as a soldier in the Revolution.  Daniel H. was the youngest of a family of
thirteen children.  He remained with his parents until their death, and
improved what opportunities he had for procuring an education, after which he
worked on the farm until 1861, when he enlisted as a soldier in Company B, of
the Eleventh Kentucky infantry, Federal; while engaged in the battle of
Shiloh, TN, he received a gunshot wound in the right wrist, which disabled him
for service, and on the 23rd of April, 1863, he received an honorable
discharge from the army, and returned to his home and resumed farming.  He
bought his first land in 1869; his farm is now one of the best of its area in
the county; is productive, and improved with good comfortable dwellings, good
barns, and a large orchard of flourishing trees; about 100 acres are well
fenced, and in cultivation in grain and tobacco.  Mr. Williams is an Democrat,
though not a politician; his time and talent are expended on his farming
interests and in the improvement of the country.  Mr. Williams, in religious
matters, is a liberal thinker, and not a member of any church.  He is a Master
Mason, a member of the Rochester Lodge No. 270, and is unmarried.
