of Jacob and Elizabeth Wann. His father owned and superintended a ferry and hotel on the
Susquehanna river near Reading. He moved to Pickaway county, OH, where he died. His wife
died in Indiana, at Daniel's home, in 1850, aged eighty-six. He was a teamster in the
war of 1812. Daniel worked at the ferry when a young man, and a was a teamster the greater
part of his life. In 1828, while single, he entered Vermilion county, and in 1840 came to
Fountain County, where he took a half-interest in 600 acres of land and a sawmill, with
his brother-in-law John Underwood. He died October 23, 1865" History of Fountain
