He married Mary Lee, 25 Feb 1821 in Jefferson Co., Indiana and moved to Decatur County, Indiana. From there he moved to Cedar County, Iowa and died there 24 Dec 1882. I have been looking for his father for many years. His children were: Cinthia Ann, Horace (both died young), Nancy Ann, Nathan, Minerva, Ziba, Daniel, Annie Barbara, Mary Jane (my great-grandmother), Elizabeth and Eliza. He was suppose to have run away from home at about twelve years of age. I found a Ziba Howard in Kentucky and he served in the War of 1812. I am more inclined to believe that Daniel ran away from home in Kentucky instead of Vermont. The Lee family lived in Henry County, Kentucky in the early 1800s. Henry County, Kentucky is not that far from Jefferson County, Indiana. If you e-mail me I can send you the paper I found at the National Archives on Ziba who fought in the War of 1812. I have wondered if he perhaps was a son of Ziba the Revolutionary War Soldier that died in New York.
