Daniel married Elizabeth Jane Thompson, 3 Sep 1838, in Marion Co, MO. On 1 Apr 1839 he purchased 80 acres of land at Palmyra for property located in Monroe Co, MO, while they were living in Ralls Co. See the bottom of his land purchase which was signed by President Martin Van Buren.

In Oct 1847 he is stationed at Jefferson Barracks Military Post, Lemay, MO, south of St. Louis. Jefferson Barracks became a major military post during the Mexican-American War (1846–1848) when it served as a rest and supply station for most U.S. troops deploying to Mexico. Jefferson Barracks was the recruiting center for outfitting and training most of the regiments organized for the Mexican War in 1846, and upon the return of the triumphant U.S. forces in 1848, many were deployed to Jefferson Barracks due to its strategic location and healthful situation.

His death was probated 5 May 1853 without a will. Note that his son Charles W. Bolen was there but not on his mother's will processed Jan 1855. Apparently Daniel was killed because he was an abolitionist...see trial above.

Apparently the first acquittal reported above on 31 Mar 1853 by Justices Thomas and Walden must have been overturned and a jury trial was begun almost two months later in May. It seems almost irregular that a verdict was rendered before all the evidence was presented. This all happened in an area of Missouri called "Little Dixie".
