Biography-shared

Owen Daniel, one of the representative citizens and substantial farmers of Platte township, Buchanan County, who resides on his well-improved farm of 236 acres, in section 19, township 55, range 33, was born on this property in a little pioneer log house 16 by 18 feet in dimensions, on May 28, 1840, and is a son of John and Maria
(Hite) Daniel.

John Daniel, our subject's father, was born in Virginia and removed to Shelby County, Kentucky, at the age of 17 years. He owned slaves and property in the vicinity of Louisville prior to coming to Buchanan County, Missouri, after his second marriage, in 1832. He entered 160 acres of land for himself and claims for his children, and owned some 100 acres additional, which he purchased. At the time of his death, in 1862, he left money for our subject to use in obtaining a good education, but it was never applied to that purpose.

John Daniel was married three times and became the father of 16 children. His first
marriage was to a Miss Briscoe, and they had 13 children.

His second union was with Maria Hite, present home farm, at the age of 32 years. The two children of this marriage were: William, who joined the Confederate Army, was subsequently taken prisoner and later, after his release, was killed in a skirmish; and Owen, the subject of this sketch.

The third marriage of Mr. Daniel was to his sister-in-law, Mrs. Elizabeth (Briscoe)
Taylor, and they had one son, James, now a resident of Oregon.

Our subject was 12 years old when his father died.
