Biography

Daniel was born at Farmington in 1691, the son of William. Although the record does not name the mother, this was almost certainly Sarah Moore.

He married Mary Strong in 1718, also at Farmington, and they seem to have had eight children - Elizabeth 1719, Daniel 1721, Ethan 1724, Sarah 1726, a daughter in 1728, Abigail 1731, Seth 1733, and Phebe 1735 (this record includes Mary as the mother).

Mary, daughter of Daniel (presumably the one born in 1728) died in 1736, and Mary his wife died in 1751. No record for Daniel's death has been found.
