Additional Comments:

Daniel Heath probably died in June or July 1860: he wasn't shown in the 
household when its occupants were enumerated on 2 Aug 1860, and he wasn't 
listed on the Pulaski County mortality schedule of deaths for the year ending 1 
Jun 1860.

Daniel's widow was Nancy Ann Tison, daughter of John Tison, Sr.  She was 
Daniel's second wife, and they married in Washington County, Georgia, in 1832.  
Daniel had been in Washington County as early as the 1820 census.  In the 
1840's the Heaths moved to Emanuel County where the Tisons had already 
relocated, and they were there for the 1850 census.  The exact date of their 
move to Pulaski County isn't known, but Daniel and Nancy's two sons, Moses 
Griffin Heath and Isaac T. Heath married in that county in 1857.

In the 1860 Pulaski County census, Nancy was living with her son, Griffin.  A 
few doors down was her stepson, Thomas B. Heath, with his wife Elizabeth Tison 
Heath, a younger first cousin of Nancy's.  Also in Pulaski were Nancy's son, 
Isaac; her stepdaughters, Elizabeth (widow of Henry Johnson) and Mary aka Polly 
Ann, wife of John Thomas; her sister, Mary (wife of Joseph Hayes Anderson); and 
their father, John Tison, Sr.  William H. Heath was in Johnson County, the only 
of Daniel's children who didn't make the move to Pulaski.

All of Daniel's sons died in the Civil War except for William, who was paroled 
near the close of the war from a prison hospital in Petersburg, Virginia, where 
he was recuperating from a gunshot wound.  Isaac died from dysentery in March 
1862 at Mt. Jackson, Virginia, near Richmond.  Griffin died in May 1862 while  
on furlough home, Sumter County by then.  Thomas died on 29 Jul 1864 at the 
prison hospital in Frederick, Maryland, from a gunshot wound he had sustained 
in the Battle of Monocacy near Frederick several weeks before.
