    Notes 
    • Luther Danielson was the son of John Danielson and Ruth Blodgett, and the husband of Katy Rich. Along with his father and five brothers he served in the American Revolution. Luther fought at the important Battle of Saratoga. In 1787 Luther was an army lieutenant who fought against the rebels in Shay's Rebellion.
      Luther was still living in Brimfield, Hampshire Co, MA, in 1800. Sometime before 1813 he moved his family to Ohio. First they lived in Athens County and then by 1820 they were living in Sutton, Meigs County, Ohio.

      In the early 1830's Luther's brothers and cousins all legally changed the family surname from 'Danielson' to 'Donaldson,' believing 'Donaldson' to be the original family name back in 1600's Scotland. Luther, who was nearly eighty by this time and living in Ohio, was almost the only hold-out who retained the old 'Danielson' name. [5]
