DANIEL ELMER, ... married, in 1714, Margaret, eldest daughter of Ebenezer and Margaret Parsons, of West Springfield, and sister of Jonathan Parsons (Y. C. 1729). ...
In March, 1725, the birth of one of his children is recorded in Windsor.

By his first marriage he had three sons and four daughters, all of whom left descendants; and by his second marriage, two sons and three daughters, only one of whom left descendants.
The eldest son, Daniel, was educated as a surveyor, and the father appears to have followed the same profession to some extent.
Jonathan Elmer, M.D., United States Senator from New Jersey from 1789 to 1791, and General Ebenezer Elmer, the last surviving Revolutionary officer of the state, were his grandsons.
