  Notes	John Danielson served in the American Revolution as did six of his sons and his two brothers. He also served in the earlier French and Indian War, and participated in the important Crown Point expedition in 1755. John was the son of John Danielson and Margaret Mighill (Maghell). Danielson enlisted 12 May 1775 as a private, Capt. Amos Walbridge's company in Brimfield, Col David Brewer's 9th Regt. He served in the battles of Bunker Hill, Long Island and Trenton. He crossed the Delaware with the troops on 25 Dec 1776. For a time he was a member of the bodyguards to General Washington. John Danielson and his wife moved from Brimfield, MA, to Butternuts, Otsego Co, NY, in 1796. After his death nearly all of his children and grandchildren changed the family surname from 'Danielson' to 'Donaldson' by common consent, believing, according to oral family history, that 'Donaldson' was the original family name back in 1600's Scotland. During the past century some researchers have speculated that John Danielson of Brimfield was the grandson of wealthy James Danielson of Killingly, CT, but that is disproven by James' 1728 will, which shows only two sons, Samuel and James, Jr. Much of the best research on the Donaldson/Danielson family was done from 1925-1965 by Harriet H. Donaldson Wilkinson.
