Notes from family records:
"Sergeant James Danielson, progenator of the family in America, was a native of Ayrshire, Scotland, whence he emigrated to the new world settling on Block Island which is now the town of New Shoreham, Rhode Island.
"Early land records show that Sergeant James Danielson was a man of considerable fortune. He assumed a prominent place in town affairs. Between 1689 and 1705 he purchased large tracts of land on Block Island and was admitted a freeman of Rhode Island at the May session of the General Assembly in 1696.
"In September, 1696 he agreed to raise 100 pounds to pay for making a suitable harbor. In that year he served as a soldier in the expedition against the French under General Montcalme and fought in the engagement on the heights of Abraham with General Wolfe. In 1700 he was elected Sergeant of the town of New Shoreham.
"In early life he served almost continuously in wars against the Indians. During King Phillip's war he was Captain of a company of troops who passed through the region in which the present town of Danielson is located and was charmed with the beutiful "neck of land" between the Quinebaug and Assawauga Rivers.
"As a result of his "heroic services" in the Indian wars he received a grant of land in Voluntown, Conn. His later purchases of land were very extensive. In 1706 he bought 800 acres of land on the Quinebaug River in what is now the town of Pomfret. This included a mansion house and barn. In 1707 he bought 2000 acres of land between the Quinebaug and Assawauga Rivers. He is said to be the first settler south of Lake Mashapaug (now Alexanders Lake) at the southern end of which he built a garrison house. This settlement afterward became the town of Killingly. James Danielson became one of the most prominent and influential men in that part of Conneticut.
"He presented the town with a large burial ground located between the two rivers and was the first person to be buried in it. He died January 22, 1728 at the age of 80. His first wife was Abigail ____. His second wife was Mary Rose _____, who died February 23, 1752, aged 86." In 1724, he deeded his homestead in Killingly to his son Samuel, of which action John Danielson (his son) was one of the witnesses.28
