Terrence, Daniel was the son of Joseph, Sr. and wife Sarah ??? (last name unknown). Joseph, Sr. was the son of Edward, Sr. and Mary Browne. Edward, Sr. was the son of Edward, Sgt and then to Edward of Roxbury. I note that my listing of Daniel's children have slightly different spellings. Are your Bible records clearly written? I ask this because my family's Bible records are difficult to read in some areas. If your records are clear, I'll use your spelling as the legitimate source. Between Sept. to Dec. of 1776, Daniel lost his wife and four children. Since this was the same time period as the Smallpox epidemic, it could probably be surmised that this was the cause of so many dying within that short period of time. Hope this helps, Sarah (Riggs) de Bree
