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".
