In 1850, he was living in Galloway Township, Atlantic County, New Jersey. He was living with David and Ann Mattix (presumably his parents), and with Ellen, Rebecca, William, Wheaton, Abagail, Mary, Luca Ann, David, and Margaret (perhaps all siblings). He was a sailor. [source: 8]
On 9 October 1852, he married Ann Goss, apparently in the First Presbyterian Church of Kensington, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She was born in 1833/34, in Pennsylvania. They apparently had at least these children:

When he enlisted, he was 5 feet 9 inches tall, and had a light complexion, grey eyes, and light hair. [source: 2]
He enlisted and was mustered into service on 4 February 1864. He was enlisted for three years, at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, by Lieutenant Burke. He was a private in company C. [sources: 1, 2, 3, 6]

Perhaps he is the Daniel Mattix who died on 10 June 1886, in Philadelphia Hospital, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was buried on 12 June 1886, at the University of Pennsylvania. (I assume his body was donated for anatomical study.) [source: 10]
