THIE DANIELL FAMILY.
As to the spelling of the name, "Daniell " occurs twenty-six times in the English .. Encyclopedia of Heraldry," "Daniel" five times, and " Daniels " once. " There may be families, however, whose ancestors brought the name 'Daniels ' from the old country." The first orthography has always prevailed in this Franklin family, which is of very respectable l'uritan origin, finding, as its first ancestor, in this country :
1. ROBERT! DANIELL, probably from England. a grantee of five lots in Watertown, Mass., previous to 1636. His 1st wife, Elizabeth, d. Oct. 6, 1643. Hle rem. to Cambridge in 1651, there m., 2d, Reana Andrews, May 2, 1651, and d. July 6, 1655. llis oldest son, !
