Many times I have been asked why I should go to such trouble, time and expense in the preparation of these old family records. And believe me it is not as simple and easy as at first it might have seemed, never-the-less it is fascinating and from an historical stand point most educa­ tional. What started out to be the mere t1racing of my antecedents back to my Daniels immigrant ancestor, has now materialized into two volumes on the descendants of William Daniell of Dorchester and Milton, Massachusetts. In this volume I have tried to give much fuller data on the first four generations, including a narrative of their history and the times in which they .lived. Further research has made it possible to add sever~I lines of descent from those of the first four ,generations that were not included in the first volume. Except for the first four generations this volume does not correct Volume 1, but adds to it. The companion volume of this one was still on the press when it became quite evident that a second would be necessary if anything like a complete genealogical record of the family was to be put into print.
