| Notes |
- Robert DANIELL and Elizabeth MORSE emigrated to New England before 1636/1637, when Robert was granted 5 lots and purchased the "Homestall" of Nicholas Jacobs, consisting of 13 acres of land situated not far from the present site of the United States Arsenal. He was admitted Freeman 14 March 1639, Watertown. Elizabeth died in 1643. Robert Daniel moved to Cambridge (after 1651 - Bonds History of Watertown) where he remarried Reana ANDREWS. His son Samuel was executor of his will.

The following is from http://paynedaniel.com/indexf/pafg01.htm:
Robert Daniell was reported to be upwards of 60 years of age when he died 6 July 1855. There may have been a Robert Daniels, Jr., but has no direct evidence has been found. It has been suggested that this Robert Daniell was not a member of Daniell of Tabley, Cheshire family and that no member of the this family immigrated to America. (troy@cableinet.co.uk) Note: There are a number of Daniel, Daniels, and Daniell families in colonial Massachusetts. While it is believed that the information for Robert is correct, it is possible that errors have been repeated or created. Verify data from other sources before asserting its accuracy. Where a conflict has been found, the information from James O. Austin's One Hundred and Sixty Allied Families has been generally used.
Some research from Tim Daniels:
Robert Daniell christening 30 Jan 1596 Crowland, Lincolnshire, England
Father: William Daniell MF ref. C0227742
Robert Daniell christening 26 Dec 1592 St. Marys Church, Stockport,
Cheshire, England Father: Robert Daniell, MF ref. C009431 source 090134
Chetham Society of Publication Tim found these two possible connections when researching in the genealogy library in London.
The other thing that Tim mentioned is that Robert Daniell signed his name Robert Daniell within a year of his death...."There should be no real previous "Daniels" connection as the Massachusetts name change seems to come in the next generation, doesn't it?" Your compilers view, if this Robert was somehow part of the De Tabley clan it is like that he spelled is name with the double"ll". Almost all recorded Daniell's prior to the 18th century in England were written as Daniell.
