Bio prepared from information found at www.billputman.com
Daniel was born on January 1, 1764 probably in Granville County, North Carolina, though possibly in Virginia. Daniel moved with his father, Barnet and his family to South Carolina in about 1773. They settled first in Berkeley County in what is now Union County, near Sedalia, South Carolina.
It was while living in Union County that the American Revolutionary War came to his doorstep. In 1781 young Daniel, barely 18 years old, was given a mare by his father and rode off to join the Regiment headed by Colonel Thomas Brandon in Pickard's Brigade of the South Carolina Militia. He was joined by his uncle John Putman who was a Captain in the same Regiment. He fought in the Siege at Fort Ninety-Six in June of 1781. Young Daniel remained in the service until 1782 when the war moved further north in its last years. Daniel's service record Number W26751 is in Washington and is documented so that his female descendant’s are eligible for membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution, and males in the Sons of the American Revolution.
While living in Union County, Daniel married a neighbor, Prudence Skelton on January 5, 1786. Prudence was born in Union County on April 16, 1770 and was the daughter of William and Sarah Skelton.
On August 27, 1792 Daniel purchased a 255 acre plantation on the banks of the Savannah River near Anderson in the old Pendleton District of South Carolina. While living in Union County, Daniel and Prudence had three children born to them: Hazeal Putman born May 7, 1787; Lavinia Putman born November 7, 1789 and Reding Putman born April 20, 1792. While living in Anderson, Daniel and Prudence had three more sons: Elijah born May 18, 1794; William born March 15, 1796 and Thomas born July 30, 1798.
Daniel heard of new opportunities in Kentucky and in 1802 he obtained some 200 acres of land near the Town of Bowling Green in Warren County in central Kentucky. On January 13, 1805 Daniel and Prudence had another son, Ezekiel, who died as an infant 14 months later.
By 1810, Daniel was hearing of new opportunities in the Western Territories of Indiana. He purchased land in what was then Knox County and moved there in the summer of 1811.
Daniel continued to practice law in Indiana and was one of the leaders of the 1812 effort to carve a new county out of the huge Knox County. In 1813 Gibson County, Indiana was formed and Daniel was commissioned a Judge of the Court of Common Pleas for Gibson County on April 1, 1813. On January 7, 1814, Daniel was appointed 3rd Judge of the Circuit Court for Gibson County. Daniel's promising political career and rich life came to an end on July 19, 1816 on his Plantation near Princeton. Records seem to indicate there was a bad influenza epidemic at the time that killed a great many people in the area. It would seem that Daniel succumbed to this outbreak.
