Daniel K. Woodward was born to parents Nathaniel and Naomi Plaisted Woodward in Deweysburg, Caledonia, Vermont. He was a Democrat, and a Cooper by trade. He married Sarah Matilda Fraer in New York in 1825. Together they had eight children. In 1841 they came by land to Michigan. They built a house upon a sled and he, with his wife and six children made the journey drawn by two yoke of oxen. Upon starting, they had a cash capital of $33.37, most of which they had upon their arrival. They were 16 days making the trip. Daniel had been to Michigan in 1836 and entered on some land upon which they located and where they had since resided. A comfortable brick residence took the place of the original log structure in 1860. They were fortunate to own 217 acres of land in all. Daniel preceded Sarah in death.
