BIRTH: By about 1585 based on estimated date of first marriage. Came to Massachusetts Bay in 1630 & first settled in Watertown. Moved to Wethersfield in 1635, Stamford in 1641, & Fairfield in 1653. Died in Fairfield between 5 March 1666/7 (date of will) and 11 March 1666/7 (inventory).
MARRIAGES: (1) By about 1610 _____ _____; not seen in any New England record.
(2) After 25 December 1657 (marriage agreement) Elizabeth Thompson, widow of John Thompson; she died by 1658.
(3) By 4 April 1660 Mary (____)Dickerson, widow of Thomas Dickerson of Fairfield.
A relation between Daniel and John Finch is likely, since both first lived in Watertown, and John moved to Stamford (directly from Watertown) shortly after Daniel moved there (from Wethersfield). Also, John's son Isaac named a son Abraham. From Daniel's will we know that they are not father and son. They could be brothers, but Daniel seems to be nearly a generation older than John, since Daniel's eldest son married only a few years after John's marriage.
Samuel Finch of Roxbury has also been counted a brother of Daniel and/or John, but this seems less likely. John named a son Samuel. According to Jacobus, Samuel lived for a time at Wethersfield, but this has not been confirmed.
