Daniel was probably the fourth child of Daniel Arnold and Elizabeth "Betty" Price who were married in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania.
Betty was a granddaughter of Johannes Jakob Preisz (1724-1803) who became a follower of Alexander Mack and a forceful minister in the early Church of the Brethren. Daniel was probably the son of a Pennsylvania-Dutch farm family.
Daniel and Betty Arnold had at least eight children between 1822 and 1840. All were born in Chambersburg, Franklin County, Pennsylvania. The youngest, Simon, was a newborn when Arnold and Betty left Pennsylvania in May 1840 bound for Illinois by boat down the Ohio, up the Mississippi to Savanna, then 20 miles overland to Cherry Grove, where David and Susan Price Emmert had set up house at the stage stop.
In June 1840 Daniel and Betty purchased 260 acres northeast of Mount Carroll, at what was then known as Swaggert's Grove, but ever after was known as Arnold's Grove. For the time being the family moved into the log house measuring 14 feet by 18 feet in which Swaggert had lived.
On July 1, 1840, only a few weeks after they had taken up their abode in the old Swaggert log cabin, Daniel Jr. sickened and died. He was just 10 years old.
On a hill about eighty rods north of the cabin a wound was made in the Earth, and the boy was laid to rest there. There was no Brethren preacher yet, so the father probably read over the boy's grave in his role as the small religious community's lay leader.
Young Daniel's resting place became for a time the church cemetery, and his father was buried there in 1857. But by the time Betty died in 1862, burials had been shifted to the new church cemetery that lay nearby on higher ground, and which today lies at the southeast corner of Loran Road and Arnold's Grover Road.
