Daniel McJunkin (November 30, 1756 – August 27, 1841) was an American Revolutionary War patriot serving in the battle of Kings Mountain, North Carolina.
Her family was Loyalist and her brother, Alexander, returned to Ireland after the American Revolution, and whose son was Francis Rawdon Chesney.
Daniel was a Revolutionary War Patriot, prior to the Battle of Kings Mountain he was captured by the British and escaped.
The blade entered between his shoulders, and came out in the breast, and came so far through that McJunkin caught it and held it tight in his agony.
Sims, who went with his mother to see McJunkin, used to say he made the most awful groans while suffering from his wound, he ever heard mortal man utter.
