Biography

Daniel was born August 28, 1722^{[1] [2]}. He and his sister Rebecca were baptised in February 1724 in the West Parish Church in Barnstable, Barnstable County, (then) Province of Massachusetts Bay, the son of Abel Crocker and wife Mary.^[3]

His first marriage is recorded on 31 December 1741 in the Vital Records of Plympton, Massachusetts, as: "Crocker, Daniel [dup. (s. Dea. Abel of Carver, then P., and Mary (Isham) of Barnstable)] and Suseanah Dunham [dup. (Susanna, first w., d. Israel and Joanna (d. Dea. John Rickard and Mary of P.)], Dec. 31, 1741."^{[4] [5]}.

11. Lucy ^[7]

He died March 24, 1787^[14], and Findagrave.com Memorial #109012754 supplies his burial as being in Chebogue Cemetery, Rockville, Yarmouth County, Nova Scotia, Canada, on 24 March 1787, and a marriage to Abigail (Roberts) Crocker (1741 - 1826) without any sources.^[17]
