DANIELS, in England and in the early history of this country, was spelled Dan- iell. In the Encyclopedia of Heraldry it occurs thirty-two times, and is spelled twenty-six times Daniell, five times Daniel, and but once Daniels. The persons earli- est in America of this name were Robert Daniell, of Watertown, Mass., in 1636; Wil- liam Daniell, of Dorchester, in 1648; and Joseph Daniell, of Medfield, in 1649. Their descendants down to a comparatively recent date, and in some lines to the present time, as appears by their autographs, have spelled the name Daniell. But the Med- way branch of the family, for some years, have generally spelled the name Daniels, although the late Dea. Paul Daniell used the ancient spelling to his death, which oc- curred in 1876.
