William Henry Daniel was born in North Carolina on March 11, 1841, and married Miss Lou Martin, a daughter of Aaron Martin of Mullins. A farmer and private banker and for many years regarded as one of the wealthiest men in the Mullins community. By his first marriage Mr. Daniel had four children: Robert; Kate, wife of George R. Reaves; and Mary and Rufus. In 1881, at Marion, he married Miss Elizabeth Watson. Her father, James Watson, represented one of the oldest families of the old Marion district, and at the beginning of the Civil war the Watsons were chief among the extensive land and slave owners in this district and lost a fortune through the war. Mr. Daniel by his second marriage had the following three children: W. H. Daniel, Jr., of Mullins; Willena, Mrs. H. E. Yarboro of Mullins; and James Watson. He was a private in Company C, 20 Regiment, NC Infantry, during the war. He enlisted down in Columbus, NC. William was 20 years old on April 26, 1861 when he enlisted. He was present or accounted for until wounded in the hip at Chancellorsville, VA in May of 1863. He returned to duty around July or August of 1863 and was captured at Spotsvylania Courthouse, May 12, 1864. He was confined for a spell at Point Lookout, Maryland before being transferred to Elvira, NY. He received his parole March of 1865 and was shipped back down to Jamestown VA for a prisoner exchange. He had had enough of the fighting and he deserted to the US Army on April 2, 1865, and took the oath of allegiance. William Henry settled in Mullins, SC. "The fate of Mullins changed forever when William Henry Daniel, the town's leading merchant, threw his support behind Bright Leaf (the variety of tobacco grown in that region) in 1893. Daniel was a classic "new man" of the postwar South. Born near Raleigh, NC, the son of a wagonmaster, Daniel joined the Confederate army in 1861. He was captured and spent much of the war as a prisoner in Elmira, New York. After the war, Daniel settled in the Pee Dee and tried the naval stores business for a while. When naval stores began declining in the mid-1870s, Daniel moved to Mullins and established the W.H. Daniel Supply Company, trading with farmers in the surrounding county. Success followed, and Daniel acquired property and standing in the community." - page 59, 'Long Green' by Eldred Prince
