Sounds like you need to do a bit more work on John C., before you move back a generation
to Daniel. Have you followed this family back in time through the census records?
By the late 1940s, all states required death certificates, as far as I know. So you will
definately be able to get death information for John C, and should be able to follow his
life back to his birth -- although Carter Co. KY only has birth and death records
1911-1954, it does have marriage records from 1838! (Everton's HandyBook). So you
might be able to find Daniel's marriage to John C.'s mother, if they were married
in Carter Co. The census records will guide you, there.
