Thomas Daniel was born about 1708 in Essex County, VA on the family plantation, a son of William Daniel Sr. and an unknown daughter of Robert Williams of Essex County. Thomas married Mary Rowzee, daughter of Ralph Rowzee, in Essex County about 1727 as their oldest son was born on 20 July 1728. They had four sons, James, John, William and Thomas Jr.

Thomas Daniel is first mentioned in primary records in 1734 in a court order in Essex County, VA when he was bond for the guardian of Anne Berry. The Daniel family resided in the southeast corner of Caroline County, VA near the Essex county line, which may account for his late appearance in records as most records except for court records in Caroline are lost as is the court order book for 1728-1732.

Thomas died intestate in 1738 in Essex County, where his estate was probated, with Ralph Rowzee Jr. appointed administrator of his estate. Since his sons were minors, guardianship records in Essex name them, their ages, day and month of birth and their guardians, William Daniel of Caroline County for James, William and Thomas Jr. and William Jr. of Caroline County for John.

Thomas Daniel was probably buried in the family cemetery in Caroline County. The bulk of the land of the Daniel family now lies within the boundaries of Fort A. P. Hill.
