DANIEL BOREMAN was the seventh son of the first Samuel Boreman and Mary Betts. He was born August 4, 1658; married, June 8, 1683, Hannah Wright of Wethersfield; and died in 1724. His wife died February 25, 1746. They had twelve children: Richard, Daniel, Mabel, John, Hannah, Martha, Israel, Timothy, Timothy, Benjamin, Joshua and Charles, ten living to maturity.

Daniel Boardman (Boreman) is listed on many pages in "Family Histories and Genealogies" by Edward Elbridge Salisbury and in "The Boardman Genealogy 1525 to 1895, The English Home and Ancestry of Samuel Boreman, Wethersfield, CT and Thomas Boreman of Ipswich, Mass" by Charlotte Goldthwaite and The Ancestry of W. Francis Joseph Boardman, Hartford, CT, p. 199.

Daniel moved to Wethersfield about 1680. About the same time the name appears at Middletown-perhaps a brother of Daniel, Sr., of Wethersfield. Daniel in his will, gave Joshua his house at Wethersfield and half his lands at Litchfield and New Milford-and to his son Benjamin the other half. John Bostwick and Zechariah Ferris, of New Milford, appraised the property at New Milford in 1725. Daniel was the ancestor of the Boardman family at New Milford. The name and family are distinct from the name and family of Samuel Boarman, who was an early settler at Wethersfield.
