The father of Midas was Gordius, a poor countryman voted into kingship by the people of Phrygia. As King, Midas did a favor for Bacchus and received the Midas touch. Within the day he was beseeching Bacchus to rescind his gift. Bacchus had him wash himself in the River Pactolus. No human was affected by the golden touch nor was any wife or child of Midas mentioned.

Definitely had a daughter in the story. She was the one he turned to gold which made him realize he didn't want the touch.
