Daniel was born to Richard McPherson and Eleanor Barton of Virginia. He wed Susanna Kincheloe December 30, 1772 in Leeds Parish, Fauquier, Virginia. His family owned numerous properties in Virginia and Tennessee. In concert with the Kincheloe and other families, they migrated to the middle of North Carolina, and soon petitioned for a new state. Daniel, and about forty others, succeeded in founding the State of Franklin, which changed to Tennessee after two years. The McPherson's settled initially near Rockwood, where he eternally rests today. This was the first "old McPherson Place" described in family genealogies.
Numerous children are associated with Daniel and Susanna and will be added as they can be confirmed: Susannah McPherson (1774, Fauquier County, Virginia); Mary McPherson (1776, Fauquier County, Virginia – Tennessee); Charles Lewin McPherson (1778 Fauquier County, Virginia – Illinois); Horton McPherson (1780 Fauquier County, Virginia - ); James Henry McPherson (1780 Fauquier County, Virginia – 1835, Pulaski County, Arkansas); George McPherson (1784, Botetourt County, Virginia – 1869, Blount County, Alabama); Andrew Barton McPherson; Elijah Daniel McPherson; Hannah McPherson (1792/1793 - after 1881, Hawkins County, Tennessee); Reuben McPherson (March 25, 1794, Hawkins County, Tennessee - August 15, 1842, Jackson County, Alabama); Nancy McPherson (1795, Hawkins County, Tennessee - ); Ann McPherson (1797 Hawkins County, Tennessee - ); Thomas McPherson; Chloe McPherson; Henry McPherson ( - possibly the grave described elsewhere to be in this cemetery); Samuel McPherson.
Revolutionary War service: Private or "Soldier of the Revolution" (SOR) in Virginia Militia per accounts of their caretaker niece. (He is said to have been quite blind in his final years.) It is believed Daniel was more of a farmer-soldier, participating in the battle of Cowpens with his brother Henry, then returning to care for the crops between military services.
