In 1777 Daniel served in the Revolutionary Army, in Capt. Asa Bray's company, Hooker's regiment. After the war he was known as "Captain", although no evidence exists of any military service at that level. Perhaps it was a militia grade. About 1795 they moved from their old home to the new town of Colebrook in Litchfield County. Daniel and his wife were original members of the Colebrook Congregational Church, on December 31, 1795. Daniel died in Colebrook on November 24, 1805.
Visitors to Colebrook have been told that between the early 1800s and about 1920, the original River Burying Ground was flooded by the erection of dams and “some” of the graves in the original cemetery were moved to the Old Riverton Cemetery in Riverton. Unfortunately, no marker exists for Daniel. In his will, Daniel mentioned his wife and daughters Elizabeth and Urany Allcox. Wife Elizabeth and son-in-law Enos Tuttle were named as executors. The date and place of Elizabeth’s death is not known at this time, but she was alive in 1805 and probably died in Colebrook.
