    Allen: 'Daniel, Charlestown, s. of Walter of the same, ... w. Mary, d. of Rev. John Sherman by his first w. had David, b. 1 July 1659; Rebecca, 15 Jan. 1661, d. in 10 days; rem. to Watertown, and had Mary, 1662; rem. to Lancaster, there had Samuel, 17 Apr. 1664; and Elnathan, 11 Feb. 1666; again rem. to W. and had Abigail; Thomas, 1670, wh. d. next yr.; Ebenezer, 26 Dec. 1674; Eliz. and Lydia. ... He d. 7 Mar. 1694, and his neighb. Lawrence Hammond, highly extols his charact. in the Diary. Bond, wh. must be in error, as to his d. at Sudbury 1706, says, his s. David serv. in the expedit. to Canada, and d. 17 Oct. 1711; that Abigail m. Moses Palmer of Stonington; and Eliz. m. Joseph Fletcher.'

    This source repeats Bond's error that Daniel married Mary Sherman, but notes that Bond was wrong about Daniel's death. It also gives his first son's name as David - the latest editing of Charlestown VR (1984-1995) indicates that his name was Daniel, incorrectly recorded as David in "Co. Rec". The order of events given by Savage, which implies, for example, that Rebecca was born in Charlestown, is not completely accurate.

  2. Birth year estimated based on recorded birth years of most of her siblings, and the assumption that she was younger than Elizabeth (named after Elizabeth in Savage, although the list in Savage is not completely in order).
