Biography

David Daniel was born about 1635. He married Naomi Hull, daughter of Rev. Joseph and Agnes (Unknown) Hull, about 1671. The surname has been written Daniels by some descendants. Davy Daniel was taxed in 1661, and from 1662 to 1667, he and Philip Crommett were rated together. He is mentioned in 1663 in the settlement of a Scotchman's estate and was fined for quarreling in 1664. He signed the petition of 1668 and was rated at Oyster River in 1675. [1]

Children

History of the Town of Durham, NH (Oyster River Plantation) identifies 2 children of Davy Daniel and Naomi Hull as Joseph and John. [14] No birth or death dates are given for either son. They are listed in this order (Joseph first, then John), but note that John received a land grant 7 years before Joseph.[1]

1. Joseph Daniel had a grant of land in 1701. "He married (1) Ann, widow of Thomas Chesley, as probate records show, and (2) Jane --, who was baptized with two children 11 Aug. 1717." See note about adult baptism below. Joseph's will is dated 11 Dec. 1737-30 Oct. 1745 and names his wife Jane and the following children:

John (b. 25 May 1709); m. Hannah
Anne (bapt. 11 Aug. 1717, then 12 years old) m Samuel Chesley
Jonathan (bapt. 11 Aug. 1717; d c 1780); m. Elizabeth
Joseph (bapt. 28 March 1725); m. Mehitable
David (bapt. 3 Oct. 1725, then 12 years old)
Abigail (bapt. 3 Oct. 1725, then 3 years old)
Jacob (bapt. 27 July 1718) m. Charity Drew
Mary (bapt. 5 Apr 1724)
2. John Daniel received a Durham land grant in 1694 and 40 acres 23 June 1701 for a lot beside Naomi Hull's brother-in-law, John Bickford. He married Sarah [--]. She was baptized 2 June 1723, 9 months before her first child was baptized. This is probably an indication that Sarah was a Quaker. Oyster River/Durham had a large Quaker community, and Friends don't practice any sacraments. If the couple married in a Congregational church, it's likely that she was expected to be baptized before she could participate in the sacrament of marriage. If the baptismal record is right (and the fact that it lines up with their child's baptism suggests it is), then this dates their marriage to about 2 June 1723. Children:

Joseph (bapt 7 Mar 1724/5)
Eliphalet (bapt 7 June 1724)
Reuben (bapt 2 July 1727)
Samuel (bapt 2 July 1727)
Sarah (bapt 6 Aug 1717)
Note that there is a contemporaneous John Daniells of Sherborn, MA, who married a Sarah Durham. Joseph's son John's birth in 1709 is an outlier and might suggest that he was the son of widow Ann Chelsey. Otherwise, Naomi's grandchildren were born in the decade between 1717 and 1727.
