  • 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.
