Daniel's father was Jedidiah Edgerton who had moved from the state of Rhode Island to CT and in 1806 he moved with his
family to Schoharie NY. He bought a small farm where the family lived until Daniel became of age. Daniel went to Salisbury in Herkimer Co., NY where he married Jemima Foster. Then he bought a farm in Columbia of the same county and included in the farm purchase were two slaves—Black Molly and Tim. When he sold his farm he gave them their liberty, a small
house and two acres of land where they lived until they died. Daniel at this time had two children. In the spring of 1818 he and his family moved to Antwerp in Jefferson County
where he remained for about eight years. For two or three years fever and ague was so prevalent that he sold out and moved to Pickney where he remained for a year. He moved on
to Martinsburg and lived there for seven years; sold out and came to Boonville (later called Ava) in 1835 where he spent the remainder of his life.
