When he started for home, he dropped his gun in the Appomattox River as he was too weak from the lack of food to swim and take his gun, and there was no other way to cross. There was another man named Small. They had not had a change of clothes in months and were infected with vermin. They came to a nice farmhouse and asked for food and a place to sleep. Daniel said he could have gladly killed Small for he accepted the offer of a bed to sleep in although he knew he was covered with lice. Daniel went to the barn and slept in the hay. After the War he was a farmer in Amherst county. Daniel Goode Campbell was only married one time and that was to Elizabeth Stevens Thompson, his first cousin.(Brother of Martin Van Burean Campbell and Thomas J.
