Long after Daniel's death in 1827, his sword was given to the Yadkin's College museum, the museum being a shed-like frame structure built adjacent to the main building to house the valuable museum pieces. One night, a group of people, who were camping on the banks of the nearby Yadkin River, broke into the museum and stole the museum's pieces, including Daniel's sword."
