Daniel was the 8th child of Eli II. Eli F. (Hosea's brother) was named for his
grandfather. Eli F. is buried in the Post Oak cemetery in Jack Co., TX. My
g-g-grandfather Eli F. can be found in the Sangamon Co., Illinois census records as an 18
year-old blacksmith living probably with an older sister or cousin. He later married
Margret K. Traylor on Dec.26, 1852. Eli F. was a blacksmith for the Army, moving from
Sangamon Co., to Pulaski Co., Missouri (near Ft. Leonard Wood). they moved from there to
Jack Co., TX., to another Fort, near Jacksboro, Texas. My wife and I are caring for Eli
F. Catlin's grandaughter, the daughter of his youngest son, named after his
grandfather Daniel Catlin. Grace is 89 and still alert but suffering from a heart
condition. Grace is my grandfather's first cousin.
