Daniel C. Trewhitt
Daniel Coffee Trewhitt (January 29, 1823 – January 4, 1891) was an American attorney, judge, and politician. He served one term (1859–1861) in the Tennessee House of Representatives, where he was one of the few state legislators to oppose secession on the eve of the Civil War. He represented Hamilton County at the pro-Union East Tennessee Convention, and afterward fought for the Union Army. He served as judge of the state's second chancery division from 1864 to 1870, and judge of the state's fourth circuit court from 1878 to 1891.
==Early life==
Trewhitt was born along Daddys Creek in what was then Morgan County, Tennessee, but is now part of Cumberland County. He was one of seventeen children of Levi Trewhitt, a county clerk and attorney, and Harriet (Lavender) Trewhitt. In 1836, he moved with his family to Cleveland, Tennessee, where he attended the Oak Grove Academy from 1837 to 1840. He afterward read law under his father, and was licensed to practice in 1847.〔William S. Speer, "Hon. D.C. Trewhitt," ''Sketches of Prominent Tennesseans'' (1884), pp. 505-507.〕
After receiving his law license, Trewhitt commenced practice in Harrison, Tennessee, which at the time was the county seat of Hamilton County.〔 In 1854, he ran for district attorney general, but was defeated by rising politician George W. Bridges.〔''(Athens (TN) Post )'', 24 March 1854, p. 2.〕〔"(Election Returns )," ''Nashville Union and American'', 11 June 1854, p. 2.〕 He ran unsuccessfully for the Tennessee Senate in 1857, losing to J.C. Burch.〔"(Good News East of the Mountains )," ''Nashville Union and American'', 25 June 1857, p. 2.〕
Running on the pro-Union Opposition Party ticket,〔"(Opposition State Convention )," ''Nashville Patriot'', 23 February 1860, p. 2.〕 Trewhitt was elected to Hamilton County's seat in the Tennessee House of Representatives in 1859. Though Southern Democrats had gained control of the state government, Trewhitt joined William H. Wisener, Roderick R. Butler, and Dewitt Clinton Senter in providing persistent opposition to secession in the state legislature during the months leading up the Civil War.〔
