(Rev.) DANIEL (father unknown), who was b. in E. W. ;* grad. from Y. C., 1713; preached at Brookfield, Mass., but left there before 1715. In a notice of the town of Westborough, Mass., written in 1767, by the Rev. Eleazer Barkman, we find that " a church was gathered here, Oct. 28, 1724," and adds in a note : "Mr Daniel Elmer, candidate for the ministry from Connecticut, preached here several years, and received a call from the people, but there arose difficulties, and though he built upon the farm which was given for the first settled minister, and dwelt upon it, yet by the advice of an ecclesiastical council he desisted from preaching here, and a quit claim being given him of the farm, he sold, and with his family removed to Springfield, in 1724. He was afterwards settled in the ministry at Cohansy, in the Jersies." This was in Fairfield, Cumberland county, N. J. He probably did not come to Fair- field until 1729 ;t he m. Margaret Parsons, sister of Rev. Jonathan P. of New- buryport, at whose house Whitfield died. It is supposed she d. in New England, there being no trace of her grave beside that of her husband ; by her he had 3 sons, and 4 daus.} ; he m. 2, - Webster, by whom he had 2 sons and 3 daus. ; he was the grandfather of Dr. Jonathan and Gen.

* There is an interesting incident connected with the life of this individual, that is worthy of a place in this genealogy. Ammi Filley, father of William, removed to Michigan when this boy was about a year old, and located with his family in the town of Jackson, then a wilderness, where, by industry and economy, he soon became the possessor of a good farm. Although sur- rounded by savage tribes, he had no feur, as they were apparently friendly. On the 3d of August, 1837, William, then a child of five years of age, went out to a swamp near hy, with a hired girl, to gather berries. The swamp was between the house of Mr. Filley and the dwelling of Mr. Mount, the father of the girl, and where they were to spend the night. After picking berries for a time, William expressed a wish to go home, whereupon the girl led him to the road, and pointed ont the way to Mr. Mount's, which was in sight. But on the girl's arriving at the house, she learned he had not been there, nor had he been to the house of his parents! Whereupon an alarm was immediately given, and the whole population commenced a diligent search for the lost child, continuing it day and night for more than a week, but in vain. Finally, Mr. Filley began to suspect foul play by the Indians, and after making repeated inquiries of the different tribes and families in the vicinity, and making pecuniary offers to the chiefs and influential men, Mr. Filley himself traversed for moths the wilds of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Iowa, without snecess, and returning to his family gave him up as lost. Time rolled on, hnt William, though lost, was not forgotten, till his mother finally, through grief, sank into an untimely grave. After the death of his wife, Mr. Filley visited Connecticut, his former home; and while here, his long lost child was providentially restored to him. It seems the lad, before reaching the house of Mr. Mount, was overtaken and kidnapped by a party of Indians, who happened to pass that way, and was forced to accompany them in all their migrations, until he was captured from them in 1842. About this time, they visited Albany, N. Y., where this child was discovered among them; hot no clue could he obtained from them, hy the authorities of the city, in regard to the paternity of the child. He was therefore placed in their orphan asylum. Subsequently to this, in 1844, Mr. Cowles of Scotland, Mass., being in want of a boy in his family, was recommended to this place, whither he went, and from whence he brought home this lad to his residence in Scotland. The facts in relation to the hoy, so far as the transactions at Albany were concerned, came to the knowledge of the Rev. Dr. Cooley of Granville, Mass, who (having heard of the circumstances under which the child was lost), communicated the intelligence to Mr. Marvin, the grandfather of the boy, and without delay made known the same to Mr. Filley, then in Conn. From the knowledge thus obtained, he (Mr. Filley) visited Mr. Cowles in Scotland, where the lad then resided ; and though somewhat changed hy time and exposure, yet his appearance was a counterpart to other members of the family, and by a mark on his head, and a well remembered scar on his hand, he was fully identified. From the boy's story, it appears he had constantly lived in the same family, which consisted of four Indians, Paul Pye, and Phebe, his wife, with their daughter Martha, and Thomas Williams, who had adopted him as their son, he supposing himself to be an Indian boy. IIe had an indistinct recollection of attending school, but when and where he knew not, but remembered he did not go to school with Indians. The first place he recollects of having visited was Green Bay. In the summer they wandered back and forth , through Michigan, New York, and sometimes visited Connecticut ; at one time encumped several weeks in Stonington In the winter they quartered in wigwamis, and lived on small game, such as skunks, rabbits. and bull frogs, the latter of which was to them a rich repast. Occasionally they made a few baskets, which they sent William to the nearest grocery to exchange for whiskey, In all his wanderings he travelled barefoot, summer and winter, suffering from cold, hunger, and fatigue,
