Daniel Family Cemetery Frances Sims Daniel (1796 - 1853) moved to Dallas County with her family in 1849 and purchased land in what is now University Park. An orchard planted near the Daniel home became the site of a family cemetery in 1850 when Old Frank, a family slave for over forty years, was buried there. The gravestone of Isabella Harwood (1836 - 1851), daughter of Frances Sims Daniel, is believed to be one of the oldest in Dallas County. Interred here are Daniel family members, family slaves, and Daniel descendants, including veterans of four wars. 1988
