A number of questions have arisen from the comparison of the Last Will and Testament of Daniel and the family records from which these names and birth dates have been transcribed. You will find at least three of the children that are not mentioned in the will. With no established date of death for most of the children, there can always be speculation that the children preceded their father in death. There has not yet, however, been found a precise reason from our research.
