Ruth Blodgett Danielson was the daughter of Joseph Blodgett and Sarah Stone and the wife of John Danielson. When she was a child Ruth and her family moved from Lexington to Brimfield, Massachusetts. Ruth's husband and six of her sons served in the American Revolution. Ruth moved with her husband John from Brimfield, MA, to Butternuts, Otsego Co, NY, in 1796. Ruth's descendants in the early 1830's changed the family surname from 'Danielson' to 'Donaldson,' believing, according to oral family history, that 'Donaldson' was the original family surname back in 1600's Scotland.
Much of the best research on the Donaldson/Danielson family was done from 1925-1965 by Harriet H. Donaldson Wilkinson.
Note: No photograph exists of either Ruth Blodgett Danielson or her husband John Danielson since both lived well before the invention of photography.
2nd Note: Ruth is correctly linked to the valid memorial for her mother, Sarah Stone Blodgett. In 2014 James Bianco entered the Sarah memorial showing her correctly buried at Brimfield Cemetery. The burial unknown memorial for Sarah placed by Beca was later after 2014 changed to Brimfield, but under fag rules the James Bianco memorial is still the valid memorial.
