| Notes |
- Daniel's date of birth is not known. His year of death is known but his age at death is not known. The only point of reference is that his brother Seth John Cuthbert was born in 1741. It's not known if Daniel was an older or younger brother.
Daniel and his brother Isaac were members of the District Congress of Darien, Georgia in 1775 (Bulloch). According to several affidavits sworn in 1835 and 1836 in application for Daniel's pension, he is said to have been a soldier in the Georgia Continental Line during the Revolutionary War. In one of these affidavits he is described as having died at Sunbury, Liberty County, Georgia in or about 1804, "leaving neither wife nor legitimate child. His next of kin at the time of his death were his brother Isaac Cuthbert and two nephews: Alfred and John A. Cuthbert." His two nephews are said to have been his "only heirs".
