In Reply to: Capt. William Daniels by Gladys Young of 4599

If I have the right William, I know the following:

*Petition For Re-Granting of Hillsborough Grants June 1783. Hillsborough in Nova Scotia or New Brunswick. William lived there 1783 with family of 8.

*Return of Inhabitants in the Township of Hillsborough in the County of Cumberland June 1 1783. Willm. Daniels w - 2 4 - (married; two of age females; 4 children under age).

*Note: "Another tragedy was the "Brig Alice Gray", Capt. William Daniels, which loaded with stone at Budroes quarry, on the
Petitcodiac River, for New York. Off Mount Desert, the weather looked threatening. The Captain was in hailing distance of
another vessel, putting for harbor, and said he did not think it necessary for him to seek a harbor and he put out to sea. A storm
broke and the vessel was never afterwards seen. Capt. Daniels had with him two other Hopewell men" - John Newton Lee and
Wm. Fardy.

*And finally: 1783 Hillsborough - General Return of Families Colonial Office of Nova Scotia and Cape Breton (Co. 217) Vol. 59 f.112

the following have settled since 1775 - no return of stock
Willm Daniels 8 (8 in family)

Hope this is new info.
