With additional input from Alta Daniel (Mrs Ted Daniel). Ted is a descendant of Henry, via the son below, named John Henry Daniel.
 
Henry T. Daniel (Jr) born Feb 1834 Goochland Co, Va. was the son ofHENRY T. DANIEL (Sr) and wife Virginia SHIPP.  Henry and Virginia Shipp Daniel came from Virginia to Rutherford Co, Tn by 1840. He was the last of his siblings to arrive. (Two of his older brothers had migrated by 1820). Henry (Sr) died between 1841 and 1849 in Rutherford, his wife Virginia lived considerably longer. Have probate records on these, not included here. I've documented this Daniel line back to ca 1672 in Virginia.
 

HENRY T. DANIEL (Jr)  came to Rutherford Co, Tn by 1840 (as small child) and lived most of his life here. Have all the census he ever appeared in from 1840 to 1900 and many of his deeds. Henry lived mostly in the Big Spring district of Rutherford County (or district 24, probably same). I have never found that he served in the Civil War even tho most of his brothers and cousins did.

He married MARTHA MINERVA BROWN 11 Dec 1854 in Rutherford Co (the daughter of John and Charlotte Brown of Georgia).  He and M. Minerva migrated between 1882 and 1899 to Marshall Co, Tn where it is believed he died between 1901 and 1909, she died after 1910, probably both in Marshall Co, Tn.  Have not found their burial places. One son remained in Rutherford Co, Tn at least until 1920.  By 1900, 2 of their 6 children had died. Two of their children came to Texas, maybe more: 2 of these married there 1883 and 1889. One son left Hunt Co by 1910 to Denison, Grayson Co, Tx.

Tentative line up on 6 children of Henry T. Daniel Jr and wife Martha Minerva Brown:

(Research continues on these)

By 1900, Martha Minerva said, 2 of her 6 children had already died. In family correspondence of 1966, only 4 children  named:  John H., Joe (Josiah T.), Bee (Mary Beatrice.) and Betty (L. Elisabeth)
 

1. JOHN HENRY DANIEL  b 2 Oct 1855 Tn, d 8 Jan 1927 Grayson Co, Tx bur Fairview Cem there. Married Sallie McULMURRY in 1883 Hunt Co, TX.   John Henry had 4 children,  Clayborne T., John Harold, David Elisha, & Orpha(female).  All born in Caddo  Mills, Hunt Co, TX.   John Henry's tombstone said he was born 2 Oct 1855 Murfreesboro, Tn died Jan 8, 1827, the “son of Thomas H. and Minerva Bowman. The tombstone data is slightly wrong since his father was Henry Thomas and his mother's maiden name was Brown, not Bowman. John Henry was a teacher and minister (Church of Christ) since the 1870s in north Texas.
2. JOSIAH T. 'Joe' DANIEL b 1858-1859 Tn,  listed 1920 Rutherford Co, Tn census with wife and kids, by 1927 in Columbia, Maury Co, Tn.
3.  MARY BEATRICE  ‘Bee’ DANIEL b Nov 1861 d aft 1910...described as divorced in 1900 Marshall Co, Tn census, retained her last name of Daniel and her son (Lemmie V.) as well, widowed in 1910 Marshall Co, Tn census, living with widowed mother, but Mary's last name and her 2 sons, is now CHILDRESS (in 1910)  Old letter of 1966 says Bee Daniel had 2 boys, Roy T. and Lemmie
4. MARTHA J. 'Mattie' DANIEL b 1864-5 with parents 1880, likely died by 1900
5. L. ELIZABETH 'Bettie' DANIEL b 1865-6, with parents 1880, m 17 Feb 1889 in Hunt Co, Tx to John L. PATTON.  An old letter from wife of Bettie's nephew (1966) said: Betty had 2 kids, Bud and Shine Daniel.
6. LOWELL DANIEL  b 1869 Tn, not with family in 1880 (pretty sure he was one of the two that died by 1900)
