Daniel Annis (son of Abraham Annis and Hannah Badger) was born 01 Dec 1711 in Newbury, Massachusetts, and died 04 Mar 1778 in Warner. He married Catherine Thomas on 01 Aug 1732 in Newbury. After his death, she remarried in Warner 11 Feb 1779 Mr. Samuel Hadley.

Daniel was one of the incorporators of Hopkinton, 27 Oct 1757, and an applicant for Henniker.

The first permanent settlement in Warner was made in 1762 by Daniel Annis and his sons-in-law, Reuben Kimball and Daniel Floyd. Mr Annis' house was in Dimond's Corner District, on the north side of the highway, a little west of the Paine Davis buildings. Reuben Kimball at first lived near by, on the south side of the highway, some twenty rods from where it now runs. Daniel Floyd (or Flood), afterwards known as Captain Floyd, lived on what is now Denny Hill. Annis, Kimball and Floyd all came in under the Rye proprietors and had probably lived in the neighborhood of Rye. Hannah, daughter of Daniel Annis and wife of Reuben Kimball, came into Warner in 1762. She was the first English female who ever lived here, and her son Daniel, born October, 1762, was the first English child born in town. Mrs. Kimball died in Warner February 23, 1823, aged eighty-three. Her son, Daniel Kimball, died in Enfield July 29, 1843, aged eighty years.

At another meeting held at the meetinghouse on the old parade, August 3, 1775, Captain Francis Davis, Captain Daniel Floyd and Daniel Annis, Sr., were chosen a Committee of Safety.

nb. The Warner Historical Society suggests Daniel died 1790.DANIEL ANNIS was born December 1, 1711 at Newbury, Massachusetts; died 1790 at Warner, New Hampshire; married August 1, 1732, Catherine Thomas at Newbury. Their marriage was performed by Reverend Jonathan Tufts.
Daniel's wife was Catherine Thomas, but family tradition holds that her name was originally Keren Huppuck Thomas, and that her name was probably Anglicized. Their first two children died during a "throat distemper" epidemic (1735-1737), after which they removed to Bradford, Massachusetts. Daniel stayed at Bradford until 1745, at which time he sold his land and removed the east side of the Merrimack River at Rumford (now Concord), New Hampshire.
On January 2, 1748, while residing at the fort on the Merrimack River at Concord, Daniel signed a petition that was addressed to Governor Benning Wentworth of Massachusetts requesting soldiers and arms for protection against depredation by hostile Indians.
Daniel was perhaps the most adventuresome, and traveled, of Charles Annis' grandsons, and in 1757 he removed to Hopkinton, New Hampshire where he remained until 1762. While residing at Hopkinton, Daniel was appointed to a committee of five persons to make provisions for the ordination of Mr. Scales, the first minister of the town.
With his daughter, Hannah, son-in-law Reuben Kimball {1738-1811}, and nephew, John Annis, Daniel than removed to, and helped found the village of Warner, New Hampshire. This area was of course very sparsely populated at that time, and Indian trails were the primary means of transportation to many of the early settlements. In November 1762, "an instrument certifying the actual settlement and occupation of township No. 5 under the privileges of the Mason grant" was signed by a large number of claimers, including Daniel and his younger brother John. According to the Kimball family genealogy entitled, David Kimball of Bradford, MA, and the History of Barnet, Vermont, Daniel Annis and his son-in-law, Reuben Kimball, were the first settlers at Warner, New Hampshire. Hannah and Reuben built a log home and primitive barn and moved into that home on June 30, 1762. Hannah, had the distinction of giving birth to the first white baby in Warner.
