    Notes:

    Excerpt from "McCall-Tidwell and Allies Families": Daniel lived at Newbury until 1720; then Rowley, 1729, then settled again at Newbury, Massachusetts. He was a farmer and Captain of Militia..... He was on many important committees in Newbury and Rowley. He was Captain of a Company in the Second Masachusetts Regiment, commanded by Colonel Samuel Waldo in the Expedition against Louisburg, under General William Pepperill in 1745 and was killed before Louisburg, May 21, 1745...
    From Hall's History of Eastern Vermont: "The Expedition against Louisburg, all things considered, is one of the most remarkable campaigns in modern history. The plan was organized by civilians and successfully carried out by men of little military experience. The army was made up largely of raw recruits but what they lacked in discipline and technical knowledge wa offset by their will and determination It was to a great extent a religious crusade against a foe who believed in a different creed. Louisburg was the strongest fortified position on the continent and was defended by a strong force, yet circumstances so conspired that it fell before an rmy of undisciplined militia."
