Daniel Sipes13734,13735 was born about 1760 in Lampeter Township, Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania. He served in the military in the Revolutionary War in 1777. Daniel's pension application gave some details about his time in the military. In late 1777, Daniel was drafted into the army at Frederick, Maryland, as a private for four months of duty. The commander of his regiment was Colonel Baker Johnson, and the company commander was Captain Caleb Umbrese. In September 1777, his regiment marched from Frederick, Maryland, to the town of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and then to Philadelphia to join General George Washington's army where he remained for his time of service. When the four months were over, Daniel enlisted for another six months of service in 1778; during which, he was again with Colonel Baker Johnson's regiment, which was then under Captain James Ogle. Daniel was in General George Washington's army during the time when they retreated from the British at Philadelphia, and spent a very difficult winter at Valley Forge where they suffered from a shortage of food and clothing. In addition to malnutrition and cold, there was a smallpox epidemic. In the summer of 1778, Daniel finished his time of military service, and went back to live in Maryland. He signed a will on January 18, 1834 in Harrison County, Indiana. His will stated: "I, Daniel Sipes, Sen., of Harrison County in the state of Indiana do make and publish this my last will and testament hereby revoking and making void all former wills by me at any time heretofore made. First, I direct that my body be decently interred and my funeral be conducted in a manner corresponding with my estate and situation in life and as to such worldly estate as it has pleased God to entrust me with.

While growing up, his family lived in Pennsylvania and Maryland. He married and began a family of his own in Maryland, but then moved to North Carolina. His father deeded him some land in 1792 in Lincoln (now Catawba) County, North Carolina. Daniel's family continued to live in that part of North Carolina until selling his land in November 1818. He moved to Haywood County, North Carolina, for awhile. Shortly after 1820, Daniel moved to Blue River Township in Harrison Co., Indiana, and had a 40-acre farm. His brother, Paul, had settled in this area a few years earlier and may have encourage Daniel to relocate. Daniel's family and his youngest brother Paul's family lived next to each other at the time of Daniel's death.

The pension was approved for him to be paid $83.32. He bequeathed this pension, which was due to him in Corydon, Indiana, to his daughter, Mary.
