5. DANIEL, b. about 1725 (at Perth Amboy); date and place of death unknown; m. Sarah Graham (dau. of James and Mary Graham, and sister to Mary Graham, first wife of Rev. James McCrea). He also settled in Bedminster twsp., prior to 1751, in which year he was a commissioner of the highways of that twsp. On June 20, 1754, he purchased 202 4/10 acres of land adjoining land previously owned by him, and also adjoining "Craig's brook," "Allamitunk river," Guisbert Sutphen, Peter Demun and Owen O'Hara. (Trenton Deeds, Book H-2, p. 279). On April 2, 1779, he offered for sale a plantation of 200 acres in Bedminster, describing it as "good land, well watered and timbered, and good meadow ground, with a small frame house with two rooms, a Dutch barn not thatched, with a young bearing orchard, adjoining Peter Demond (Demun), about two miles from New Germantown on the road leading to Pluck' emin."5 ("N. J. Archives," Second Series, Vol. III, p. 247). In 1787 he was assessed for 213 acres in Bedminster twsp.

Our conjecture is that, after this latter year, he and his family went out of the State. At all events we have no further trace of him or of any descendants. There were Daniels named in Somerset records of a much later date (1811, 1814, 1850, etc.), but whether descendants or belonging to another family or line, we cannot now determine. There was also a Daniel Henry, of Sussex co. (who had a brother John), whose will was probated Jan. 14, 1773 (Trenton Wills, Book 16, p. 38).
