    Provenance: Came from the estate of a descendant of John Danner.
    Johann (John) Leonhard Conrad Danner 1827-1873.
    John Leonard Conrad Danner lived in Randolph county. At 21 he was chosen clerk of the circuit court of Randolph county. At the Beginning of President Buchanan's administration in 1857 was appointed to an official position in the department of the interior at Washington. He held that position until 1861 when the southern states succeeded from the union. He resigned and came home and join the war.
    During the war he served alternately in the army and civil departments in Richmond (in an obituary of his wife, John Danner was mentioned as a mayor of Richmond during the war but I cannot find any evidence. I have an image of the obituaries of both). After the war he started a law practice in Richmond.
    After the formal restoration of Alabama to the union he returned to the state and located in Montgomery. In 1869 he was appointed supreme court reporter. After that held a position with the IRS.
    He also was appointed Judge years 1871-1872 in Montgomery.
