Daniel C SMITH

Smith on Hamill Road Hixson Cemetery
Hamilton County,
Tennessee

1825 - Mar 22, 1864

Also living at Hixson were Allen K. Smith and Daniel C. Smith. They were apparently sons of Burrell Smith.

Daniel C. Smith, who was born in 1825, married Cassandra Gann. In February of 1862, he joined the Union Army's Co. I of the 2nd Tennessee Infantry at Camp Carter. He was dispatched to Kentucky and fought until early 1864, when he was captured. He was en route to the dreaded Andersonville Prison when he died "of fever contracted by exposure" at Augusta, Ga., on March 22. Daniel C. Smith left behind six children as well as a child, Cassandra, whom he never saw because she was born about the time of his death. The other children were Sophronia, Jackson Yarnell, Lorenzo, Daniel Boone, Abraham R. and Mary Elizabeth.

The Smith Cemetery is nearby on Hamill Road. Among those buried there are Allen K. Smith, Daniel C. Smith, Daniel Boone Smith, Abraham R. Smith, Jackson Yarnell Smith, Sophronia Smith Gann and Cassandra Gann Smith.
