Daniel Mickey was a Revolutionary War soldier of Irish descent.  He served
as a private, ensign, 2nd lieutenant and 1st lieutenant in Col. Daniel
Brodheat's 8th Pennsylvania regiment.  He was with General Washington
during the bitter winter at Valley Forge.  He was wounded and discharged in
1779.  He reenlisted and transferred to the frontiers of Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Kentucky and was with General Clark on some raids of Shawnee towns.

After his discharge he moved form Pennsylvania to Mason County Kentucky
with his family.  Since he had seen the Ohio territory while serving under
General Clark and like it so much, he and other married children of his
family located on a tract of land in Champaign County, Ohio in 1805. The
portion of Champaign County in which he settled later became Clark County. 
A year later he was given a grant of land for his military service in
Dublin, Franklin County, Ohio.  The land was located on the east bank of
the Sciota River.  He lived there until his death in 1807. He and his wife
were interred in the Deardorff Cemetery near Dublin, Ohio.  The bodies were
moved in later years and the location is unknown.
