Daniel was born August 12, 1842, died on November 30, 1923. 

Born c1846 in Georgia , buried in North Oak Grove Cemetery in Camden County , Georgia .  His father was James Harper, Jr. (born c. 1826 in Georgia ), son of James, Sr. & Mary Smith Harper (born c. 1826 in Georgia ). This is shown in 1850 & 1860 Wayne County , Georgia Census.  

The 1870 Wayne County , Georgia Census shows Daniel, age 23 with wife Leetie Popwell, age 20.  (Perhaps Leetie is meant for Lydia ?) The 1880 Wayne County , Georgia Census shows Daniel, age 34, with wife Jane, age 25. (This could be a different wife or error in age, plus sometimes people gave a name one time in a census & the next time gave something else.)

  Wayne County , Georgia marriage book shows that Daniel Harper married Mrs. L. Popwell on Dec. 9, 1865.  (Popwell apparently was the surname of her first husband and she was a young widow.)  Contributed by: Dorothy  Johns Thomas
