John Daniels, jun., descended, on his mr.'s side, from John Perry, the ancestral immigrant. I give the Perry lineage, as carefully furnished me by Mr. Jolın P. Daniels: "John Perry came from Eng. in ship "Lyon" in 1632, and set. in Roxbury. His son, John Perry, moved to Medfield, and m. Bertha Morse, May 23, 1665, and moved to Sherborn. Their son, Samuel Perry, m. Joanna Lovett, April 26, 1698. Their son, Samuel Perry, m. Ruth Leland, April 19, 1735, and moved to Natick. Miriam Perry, dr. of Samuel Perry and Ruth Leland, m. John Daniels, sen." The civil and social status of this whole lineage was eminently reputable. John Daniels, jun., d. in Holl., March 15, 1843; and Mrs. Betsey, his wid., Aug. 18, 1860.

This conjugal pair have spent nearly their entire m. life in Mil., and have long dwelt on the Dea. Amos Chapin homestead, a conspicuous est. once occu- pied by Dr. William Jennison as a tavern-stand, and afterwards by Col. James Mellen of Revolutionary fame. They have two of the grandest old elm-trees in their front yard that I know of in this vicinity. They reckon them to be 160 yrs. old. This would start them in 1720. At that date the land now occu- pied by their dwelling-house was owned by the first William Cheney. In 1721 the old road from So. Milford, the west end of which is now called Elm St., was laid out, and ran precisely over the spot where these ancient elms and the house now stand. This appears from the record of a relay of the road in 1757, made to accommodate Joshua Chapin, who then owned the place. In 1725 the first William Cheney sold 26 acres of his original farm, including much of the place now owned by Obed Daniels, to Seth Chapin, jun .; but I have found no documentary evidence as to when or by whom a house was first built on this site. Perhaps one may have been built soon after Seth Chapin, jun., bought the land, in 1725. The next we know is, that his nephew, Joshua Chapin, owned the place, and had inadvertently built his house on the track of the road as first laid ont. This was in 1757, but this does not preclude the fact of an older house on or near the same spot. Whoever built that first rude domicile, probably set out these two famous elms. Tradition says that it was done by Stephen Chapin, one of Seth, jun.'s, oldest gd. sons. If so, they may have been 10 or 15 yrs. old when set out. We must, therefore, leave their exact origin and age somewhat in doubt. Perhaps some coming inquirer may be fortunate enough to unearth the bottom facts. But be this as it may, the two trees are worth looking at, as venerable memorials of a past century.
Mr. and Mrs. Daniels seem to be eminently blessed in their chn., who are all actively and successfully useful in professional spheres of life. Charles A. is a graduate of Harvard University, in the class of 1859, and has devoted him-

Harriet E. became the wf. of Charles J. White, a graduate of Tufts Col- lege, in the class of 1858. He was once the popular principal of our Milford High School, afterwards took a high rank in the Universalist ministry, and is now the honored pastor of the church and parish in Woonsocket, R.I. Mary C. m. Mr. Hiram Tuell, a graduate of Bowdoin College, in the class of 1869, and who is also a highly-esteemed educator. He res. in Milton, where he has been for some time principal of the high school. Thus these husbands and wives, sympathetically co-operating in the landable work of elevating the rising generation, can but radiate back upon their parents the high satisfaction of having launched them on a favored stream of human activity. They seem no less fortunate in the promise of their gd. chn.

Mr. Daniels was elected 7 times to the office of selectman, and stood at the head of the board during the anxious period of the great Rebellion, when un- paralleled responsibilities devolved upon it. He has held various minor offices, and positions of trust in our banking institutions. He and his wf. are now in the quiet enjoyment of a respected old age. Since the foregoing was penned, Mr. D. has suffered a serious illness, and has only partially recovered.
Most of John Daniels, jun.'s, sons have res, and done business in Mil. ; but it has been quite inconvenient for me to obtain complete family records from any of them except Obed and John P. Nearly all the others have deceased, which renders it still more difficult for me to collect desired data. I shall, therefore, content myself with such fragments as our records and incidental information afford me.

Mr. D. has been an honorable and successful merchant, and his family stand high in society. I believe he commenced his mercantile career in Worcester, perhaps in connection with his bro .- in-law, Horace B. Claflin. He left for a wider sphere in New-York City about the same time that Mr. Claflin did, prose- cuted business prosperously, and, I am told, is now retired from active service in easy circumstances. The family home has been and still is in Brooklyn, N.Y. And the above family record indicates that he and his companion have many blessings to be thankful for.
DANIELS, DEXTER, and elder bro. of the preceding, married as above, and set. in Providence, R.I., as a boot and shoe merchant. I have only a partial report of his career in life, which is creditable to him and his family so far as it goes. He d. Jan. 22, 1872. His wid. and 2 sons still survive him in Providence.

Amariah Daniels came in from Holl., and bought the Dea. Robert Saunders farm, which he sold to the town in 1825, as an asylum for their poor. . Just how long he occupied that farm I have not ascertained. Immediately on selling it to the town, he removed with his family to Palmyra, Portage County, O.

Josiah N. Daniell res. for a time and did business at So. Mil., and then removed to Boston. He was a man universally esteemed and beloved for his many excellences. He d. in Boston Higlilands, Nov. 16, 1874. His wid., of like excellence, still survives these many desolating bereavements, to exchange benedictions with her remaining earthly kindred, and to be sanctified by the divine unction for re-union with the loved ones who have preceded her in entering into the immortal life.

Probably I have overlooked more or less transient dwellers of this name.
DARLING. Few of this name have ever dwelt on our territory. Two bros., John and Dennis Darling, from Braintree, set. in old Mendon soon after King Philip's war, when the fugitives began to return. Their names appear in the ministerial tax-list of 1685. John took up lands in what is now Blackstone, and more in So. Bell. Dennis located himself at first near the Town-seat, but his chn. more largely in the So. Parish. Both came with chn. b. in Braintree, and had others b. in their new homes. Dennis d. in Mendon, Jan. 25, 1718. I am not fully posted in the Darling genealogy, and therefore cannot expound it authoritatively; nor does it come properly within my present province to treat of it much outside of Mil. My good friend, Mr. John Darling, who res. near Chestnut Hill in Blackstone, has been collecting and arranging its details for many yrs. I have been assisted by him on several important points; and whoever wishes to inquire into the Darling lineages will find him more com- petent to inform them than any man I know of. The first Darling connected with our population was one of the numerous Samuels. He owned land within our limits; and his remains were interred in our oldest burying-ground, also those of Thomasine, his wf. : but just where he dwelt, 1 am entirely ignorant; nor am I quite certain that he had a home within our borders. His gravestone styles him "Capt. Samuel Darling," and says he "d. July 27, 1782, in his 83d yr." It is not improbable that he was a son of Daniel, and an early descendant of Dennis. His birth-date must have been about the yr. 1700. Whether he had chn., I have found no indications. I learn nothing but from his gravestone, and from other sources that he owned parcels of land here.
