Notes:

Daniel fought in the Revolution and he lived in Roxbury, Massachusetts. His wife was from Roxbury.

His wife was a daughter of one of the Parkers of Parker Hill, Roxbury. Near this he occupied a farm called the Seaver Farm for a few years. But ill health, which had caused his discharge from the Continental Army after a short service, also compelled him to abandon farming for the less laborious life of a trader. He experienced the varying fortunes which attended trade, brought up a large family in the light of a pious example, lived to a good old age, and left behind him the name of a perfectly reliable, honest, upright man and consistent Christian.

He was appointed as one of the enginemen of the first fire engine of Roxbury in 1784. The fire engine was located on the site of the Greyhound Inn.

Daniel married Abigail Parker on 15 Sep 1774. Abigail was born on 30 Jan 1753 in Roxbury, Suffolk Co, Massachusetts, USA; died on 1 May 1844 in Barnstable, Barnstable Co., Massachusetts, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Error alert: There are three people named Abigail Parker who supposedly married close Munroe relatives close to the same time frame. This is either a coincidence or an error.

Notes:

Jedediah Munroe was a private in Captain Parker's company, and rallied with his townsmen in defence of freedom on 19 Apr 1775. He was wounded during the morning, but because his devotion to the cause was so very deep and couldn't be quenched by the first flow of blood, he marched with his company toward Concord to meet the British on their retreat. He was slain on the road to Concord that afternoon, at the age of 54.
