NAMES:  DANIEL, John; BICKFORD, John; WORMWOOD, Joseph; DANIEL, Eliphalet; 
	MATHES, Gershom; MATHES, Benjamin, Jr.; MEADER, James; 	

	Daniel's Brook. This brook rises among the marshes in Horn's Woods, 
and empties into Crummit's mill-pond, Durham.  The name is derived from 
John Daniel, who had land in this vicinity before April 11, 1694, when 40 
acres were laid out to John Bickford, "beginning at a white oak on the hill 
at the south side of the old dam at the head of the Creek," dividing this 
tract from John Daniel's and running thence W.S.W. 47 rods to the brook 
that also divided their lands.  Forty acres were laid out to John Daniel 
Nov. 13, 1713, "on the north side of the brook going to Lubberland, the 
next brook to his home field, beginning at a black ash tree in the grassy 
swamp near the parting of the brooks."  Joseph Wormwood, in 1810, conveyed 
to Eliphalet Daniel land on the south branch of Mathes's mill-pond, that 
formerly belonged to Gershom and Benjamin Mathes, Jr.  The Daniels farm is 
now owned by Mr. James Meader.  (See Edgerly Brook.)
