The Daniels-Daniells Family: A genealogical history of the descendants of William Daniell of Dorchester and Milton, Massachusetts, 1630-1657. Volume 2

This volume is part of a comprehensive genealogical study compiled by James Harrison Daniels, intended to document the lineage of William Daniell, an early settler who arrived in Dorchester, Massachusetts, in the mid-seventeenth century. Published to organize generations of family records, the work serves as a detailed primary reference for those researching colonial New England ancestry and the dispersal of the family name across North America.

The design of the work reflects the mid-twentieth-century approach to amateur and semi-professional genealogy, prioritizing clarity, record-keeping, and the preservation of vital statistics over ornate aesthetic presentation. It was compiled with the intent to provide a lasting archive for descendants, and it remains a standard, utilitarian fixture in genealogical libraries and historical societies focused on early American migration.
