| - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Daniel Livingston m. in Braintree bef. 1680 Joanna, wid of John Pray, who was convic. in Suffolk ct. for striking and abusing him in 1681, but acq. in 1683 of suspicion of selling liq. to Indians. Again in Ct. in 1686 her bond was forfeited, she having joined her husb. in York, where he had been a witn. as early as 1666, they having signed an agreement 9 July 1685 that she and her 3 youngest (Pray) ch. should come to him and make a fam. Tr.j. 1693, Gr.j. 1694. He was k. by Ind. 20 Aug 1694, but she escaped and was liv. in 1699 when she filed in Boston a 2d acct. as adm. of her 1st husb.'s est. [ref 22] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Daniel Livingstone first appears in York as a witness to the sale of property in Scotland in 1666 (Deeds iv:159), and as he bears a Scottish name it is assumed that he was one of the Scotch prisoners. He was again a witness in 1682 and in 1684 (Deeds iv:31,48). Where he was in the intervening years is unknown, but by 1679 he had married Mrs. Joanna (Downham) Pray, widow of John of Braintree. In that year he and his wife made depositions about "Old Quinton Prays" occupation of a house in Braintree, Mass. It is probable that he went there to work where some of his fellow prisoners were employed. He returned to York by 1682 and certainly before 1685, as on July 9 of that year he and his wife made a nuptial agreement about bringing "her too sonns & daughter with her to Yorke, whereby the said Daniel Livingstone & Johanna his wife & her three youngest children do unanimously Joyne togeather to build, plant fence & Improve that fourty acres of Land given him by the Town of Yorke" (Deeds iv:45). He lived in Scotland on this grant adjoining Robert Junkins on the northeast side of the County Road, which was given with a provision that he would "come to inhabit" (T.R. i:235). He was killed by the Indians, with a boy, August 20, 1694, in an attack on York near the Maxwell garrison where he lived. As far as known he left no descendants, but his wife's children went to Kittery and settled there.
