Wotring of Hayfield was born November 27, 1830, being the third of a family of nine children born to Abram D. and Prudence (Felton) Wotring, who lived in Preston county, which was then a part of old Virginia. Daniel spent his early days on a farm, and had but little schooling. He came to Frederick County at the age of twenty in 1850, and had charge of repairs for the Northwestern state grade (Rte. 50W); and was married on February 12, 1857, to Miss Nancy Virginia Hall, daughter of Col. James B. and Margaret (Rosenberger) Hall, [his brother John H. married her sister Martha E.] At that time he rented the Hall farm, where he lived for nine years, afterward buying the "Fremont farm" of 425 acres, which he occupied as a homestead. They had a family of six children: James A., Robert L., Daniel E., Cora P. [Maphis], Inez M. [Cather] and Blanche Virginia [Cather]. He entered the Confederate service in 1861, serving two years in the Fifty-first Virginia, and was taken prisoner in 1863 [after being wounded in battle], and confined in Camp Chase [Ohio] and Fort Delaware for six months, when he was exchanged, and, on account of poor health, he was exempted from service. In 1890, Mr. Wotring was a school trustee and overseer of the poor, for the Back Creek district, and had charge, for the State, of the Northwestern Grade. He served briefly as a democrat in the Virginia General Assembly." (Excerpts from J.E. Norris' personal interview as published in his book "History of the Lower Shenandoah Valley" pg 716). Daniel was aged 81; the Rev. Frank Gilbert performed his funeral.
