By 1810, Elizabeth had died and Daniel had not yet re-married.

The Vermont Historical Gazeteer states, "Daniel was a smart, wiry little man who was not afraid of mortal or brute.  He was called Galoosh by the early settlers in northern Vermont.  Always ready for a bear fight, he went in as soon as he saw game.  On one occasion while fishing with Captain Benjamin Burton, Daniel killed a bear and two cubs with a club.  Another time Foster Page was returning home from Parker's Mill at dusk when he heard screaming from the woods.  Hurrying to the spot, he found Galoosh had just laid out a bear with a stout stick".
