Jeremiah David Daily - born September 20, 1817 in Tennessee and died in Pope County Arkansas 1898. He is buried in Forehand Cemetery Linker Mountain in Pope County Arkansas. Jeremiah served as a captain under Col. W. A. Johnson in General P. D. Roddey's Brigade of Cavalry Confederate forces, Company E, 4th Alabama Calvary, CSA.

He was married in Tuscaloosa, Alabama August 22, 1837 to Malinda Swindle (born 1816 in South Carolina and died March 13, 1896). Jeremiah and Malinda's marriage record is in Record Book 1-2-1837 to 12-9-1843 page 27 in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama. Malinda Swindle's parents were Joel and Sarah Swindle. Jeremiah and Malinda parented nine boys and one girl: George Daniel, John J., Ransom Selkirk, Lovin Lafayette, Greenberry Rudolph, Barbara Jane, Jeremiah "Sole," Licurgus Bunyan, Benjamin, & Willliam Jasper.

Jeremiah was a director of the First State Bank of Alabama at Tuscaloosa. He and Malinda lived in Blount County, Alabama at the 1840 and 1850 census. During the 1850s they had homesteaded and built a three-room log cabin (standing today) near Frankfort just inside the current boundaries of Franklin County, Alabama.

Jeremiah was a Primitive Baptist preacher and farmer. He was ordained Saturday before the second Sabbath in September 1844 at the age of 27. He seems to have been well educated but no records have been found to indicate what schooling he had. Copies of some of his sermons exist today. He once served as a Baptist minister at Zion Rest, Alabama. By the 1880 census Jeremiah lists himself as a school teacher.

Jeremiah served as a captain under Col. W. A. Johnson in General P. D. Roddey's Brigade of Cavalry Confederate forces. He joined September 7, 1862. The oldest three sons served under the command of the father. Jeremiah was wounded in the left knee in the skirmish at Barton Station, October 1863. He was discharged for hardship reasons February 5, 1864. His resignation is dated January 4, 1864 at Frankfort, Alabama and was written by Col. W. A. Johnson. Ransom, the third son, was wounded in the shoulder at Shilo, captured and held in a Yankee prison camp in Ohio until the South's surrender in 1865. He then, like many others, was compelled to walk home to Franklin County, Alabama. Ransom and his wife then moved to Arkansas to begin a new life. Later Jeremiah was to join him there.

According to marriage records at Colbert County Courthouse (Marriage Record A 1867-1874), April 24, 1874, Jeremiah married Sarah Emaline Duncan (b. 9-11-1843; d. 10-24-1922) and moved to Pope County Arkansas to begin a new life. He and Sarah Emaline parented three sons and a daughter: Jonathan Napoleon, Thomas Jefferson, Dolphus (F), and James David Christian.

Malinda Swindle Daily drew a Confederate widow's pension according to records at Colbert County Courthouse.

According to county records in Pope County Arkansas (#4-53 328) on March 2, 1889 Jeremiah gave 160 acres in Alabama to Bunyan and wife, Fannie, after Malinda's death.
