Daniel is only listed in the Directories from 1874 through1885 when the directories available to me changed to Brooklyn exclusively. However, most of the other family members weren’t mentioned in the earlier directories either. He is not listed after 1885 until Harriet is listed as widow in 1890.

Daniel is listed in the Brooklyn Directory of 1884-1885 as a Carpenter.
No other directories verified in between.
