There is a list called Archaic Community, District, Neighborhood, Section and Village, Names in Massachusetts at the state archives page http://www.sec.state.ma.us/cis/cisuno/unoidx.htm The closest to Danielson is Danielsville / Rowley / Essex There is a Danielson, Connecticut in Windham County Lisa ----- Original Message ----- From: "DEAN & KAREN TREARCHIS" dktrearchis@comcast.net Has anyone heard of Danielson, MA? I tried googling this town, but could not find it. I looked up the towns in the Quabbin and it is not one of those towns. I'm wondering if it is now a section of some town. For example, Dracut has a section of town that is called Collinsville and in the past people would just refer to a person as being from Collinsville not Dracut. I found mention of this in a newspaer: Sister Loretta Gates Whitney died in Sep 1936. In obituary it said “she leaves a sister Mrs. Mary Stevens of Danielson.” The person I am researching is Mary E. (Gates) Stevens born and died in Westminster,MA. Her funeral was in Gardner,MA and she married my ancester who was Israel Jacob Stevens who called himself Ij Stevens or I. James Stevens. He died in 1899. Karen
