52 Cousins~Daniel Earnhart

Daniel Earnhart was born 13th February 1809, a son of George Earnhart and his wife Margaret Keppel. Daniel was the 5th of 6 children born to George and Margaret. He had two brothers and three sisters. Daniel was born in Rowan County, North Carolina.

At some point between 8 August 1807 and 1810 George and Margaret moved their family from Rowan County, NC to Bedford County, Tennessee. George Earnhart and his 3 sons, Benjamin, Daniel and James were farmers.

In or about 1831, Daniel Earnhart married Martha Ann [LNU]. Martha Ann's maiden name is unknown though some believe her to be a “LENTZ.” No proof has been found to determine her actual surname. No marriage notices or licensee has been found for Daniel and Martha. Daniel and Martha Ann marriage date is based on the birth of their first-born child, Malinda J., born May 1833.

Shortly, after their marriage, George Earnhart, father of Daniel, deeded his son a tract of farmland containing by estimation one hundred and Seventy Eight Acres. The deed contained an agreement by Daniel to maintain the said George and his wife during their Natural lives.
