Son of John Grant Rencher (1744-1812) and Ann Nancy Nelson (1760-1829)

Daniel was a successful southern planter in Sumter County, Alabama. Luckily there is a series of 17 letters that chronicle some of his life written to his sister Sarah Rencher Merritt Although Daniel did not play an "active" part in the Civil War, he was charged with treason for supporting and selling goods to the Confederates. He was later pardoned.
According to the last codicil to his will, he apologizes to his descendants that he doesn't have the wealth that he previously did.
He is buried in Kemper County, Ms, just over the state border from Sumter Co. Al.

Brother to Abraham Rencher
