James Agee also listed on the same page, was his father but Daniel stands out because of his age, Jacob, also listed, was Daniel’s older brother.

What is the muster date? Very possible he made it in later at an older age.
Dragoons are not cavalry, although they often varied and could act purely as mounted troops. The general intention of dragoons, though, was to ride to the scene then dismount and fight.
