• Notes

  While Daniel was not a signer of the 1775 Association (he is listed as "Daniel R.," the "R" after his name means that he did not sign the Letter of Association). he was one of the "minute men" in Col. Floyd's regiment, the same year. In July 1776, he belonged to Col. Josiah Smith's regiment of New York Militia and was in the 7th Company of Capt. Sela Strong. After the battle of Long Island in August 1776, he with others who were pronounced in their opposition to the British Crown, fled to Connecticut to escape being taken as prisoners of war.
