DANIEL LAFFOON died in Rome, near Quaker Bottom, Ohio, April 1, 1862.
He was born November 5, 1775 in Halifax County, Virginia.  He came to
Lawrence county in 1811.  He had one or two brothers who served in the 
revolutionary war.  He served in the suppression of the Whiskey 
rebellion, and was with the expedition against Fort Pitt in 1795,  but 
for want of proper proof never obtained a Land warrant.  Quite a number 
of his grandsons are in the army.  He was an exemplary member of the 
Methodist Episcopal Church for over 40 years.  The pioneer preachers 
made his house a home.  His end was peace.  He was 86 years old last
November.
