Susanah was born 16 Aug 1828 in Catawba County, NC.     The 1850 Census shows Daniel Jr, Susanna and Robert living in Catawba County, NC. Daniel was 26 and Susannah was 22.  They were both born in Catawba County.  He was working as a farmer.   1850 Catawba County Census Dwelling Number Family Number Name Age Sex Occupation Place of Birth First Last 62 62 Daniel Setzer 26 M Farmer Catawba     Susanah " 22 F   "     Robert C.

Daniel was 36 and Susan was 31.  They had five children: Robert K (age 11), James N. (age 9), Marcus C. (age 6), Rhoda M. (age 30) and Mary M. (age 1).  All the family was born in North Carolina and Daniel was still working as a farmer.  His real estate (property and buildings) was valued at $1500 and his personal estate (animals, farm equipment, furniture, crops) was valued at $1000.   This same 1860 Census shows Daniel Jr. living next door to David and Delilah Wike. This is pertinent because Daniel's wife, Susanah, would die before the decade was over, on 15 Oct 1869, at the age of 41. After Susanah's death, Daniel Jr. married Martha Adaline Wike, the daughter of David and Delilah Wike, on 24 Nov 1870. Martha Adeline Wike Setzer was born 11 Sep 1841.   1860 Catawba County Census Dwelling Number Family Number Name Age Sex Occupation Estate Value Birth Attended School First Last Real Estate Personal Estate 1125 1108 David Wike 57 M Farmer 5600 4350 NC       Delila " 45 F       NC       Adaline " 20 F       NC Yes     Margaret " 14 F       NC Yes     Sarah " 12 F       NC Yes     Catherine " 10 F       NC Yes     Linna " 8 F       NC Yes     Jemima " 6 F       NC Yes     Ellen E.

" 1 F       NC         American Civil War   The American Civil War began on 12 Apr 1861 when Confederate forces fired upon Fort Sumpter, South Carolina. Many of Daniel's relatives served in the Civil War for the Confederate states.  Daniel Setzer Jr. enlisted on 16 Mar 1862 in Catawba County, NC, at the age of 40 and became part of Company K, 46th NC Infantry Regiment.   Daniel's son, Robert Carr Setzer, entered the Civil War at the age of 17 in the fall of 1864. Robert, like his father, served in Company K, 46th NC Infantry Regiment.  Fortunately, both father and son survived the war.         Robert Carr Setzer's Account of his Civil War Service "The Catawba Soldier of the Civil War" Copright 1911 - Clay Printing Co., Hickory, NC Edited and Compiled by Prof. George W. Hahn R.C. SETZER, p. 281   I entered the service at the age of seventeen years in Company K, 46th N.C. Regiment in the fall of 1864. I found the Company at or near Petersburg, VA. I was in several engagements, and on the 25th of March (the same day Lee made his raid at Petersburg) was captured on the picket line with Mark Boyd, Mark and Lank Poovey, all being in a rifle pit. We were taken to City Point; from there to Washington City; then to Point Look (a Union POW Prison for Confederate soldiers). We remained there until the surrender and fared reasonably well. On the 14th of May we were sent to our homes, making our way as best we could.  We found destitution here. No shoes or clothing; rations were scarce, but we were grateful that we were at home. I took hold of the dilemma, and during the summer made enough of provisions for the next year; all I lacked was money. Time passed; and finally I married and continued to acquire little by little, and today I am at ease, surrounded with plenty - a jolly, active citizen.          Robert Carr/Kerr Setzer was buried in the Oakwood Cemetery, Victoria, Lunenburg County, VA           When the 1870 Census for Catawba County, NC, was taken on 24 Jun 1870, Daniel Setzer Jr. still had not re-married.  He married Martha Adeline Wike later that year on 24 Nov 1870.   The 1870 Census shows Daniel still living in the Newton Township of Catawba County, NC.  His age was 47 and he was still working as a farmer.  His real estate was still valued at $1500 but the value of his personal estate had reduced to $600.  All of his children, except Robert Carr Setzer, were still living on the family farm.  Daniel had employed a housekeeper by the name of Malinda Deal to take care of household chores.   1870 Catawba County Census Dwell.

The census shows that both Ida and Edward were born in Feb 1881 - indicating that they were twins.  Ida and Edward were working in the local cotton mill as "spoolers". This Census shows that Daniel was renting his home and states that it was not a farm - although Daniel's occupation is listed as a farmer.   Daniel's son by his first marriage, John Franklin, was 25 and still living with his father. He is listed as "Disabled".   Jacob and Nancy Setzer were living near Daniel and Adaline.   1900 Catawba County Census Name Relation Race Sex Birth S/M Wd Ys Md Kids Birth Occ. Educ.
