Biography

DANIEL MARKHAM was born in Earls Colne, Essex, England, and baptized on June 22, 1641. He came to America in 1665, where his uncle, Edward Collins, was a Deacon of the First Church of Cambridge, Middlesex, MA. On Apr. 21, 1670, DANIEL, now living in Medford, Middlesex, MA, was deposed to testify on behalf of Edward Collins, plaintiff involving an alleged theft. DANIEL was made a freeman, May 27, 1674.

In 1677, after the death of ELIZABETH, he moved to Middletown, Middlesex, CT, with his cousins, Samuel Collins and Rev. Nathaniel Collins. Nathaniel was the first settled pastor in Middletown, ordained there on Nov. 4, 1668. DANIEL married second, Patience Harris, daughter of William and Edith (Bligh) Harris, in Middletown on Jan. 2, 1677/78.

DANIEL was presented to that church on Jun. 25, 1678. He was identified as having been from the congregation of the Church of Christ at Cambridge, the church that Rev. THOMAS HOOKER started, before being replaced by Rev. Thomas Shepard. Rev. Shepard had preached previously at Earls Colne. DANIEL was one of the first proprietors of the first bell which was hung in the meeting-house, Nov. 18, 1679. He was ordained a Deacon of the First Congregational Church of Middletown in 1690.

DANIEL died at Middletown, Feb. 6, 1712/13. His second wife survived him and she died there, Mar. 19, 1732.
