[Records of the Colony of Connecticut show Daniel Beardsley of Stratford propounded for freeman at a court of elections in Hartford, Connecticut on May 13, 1675.
On December 26, 1668, Daniel's mother, Mary, gave him her home in Stratford to be his after her death.
On January 6, 1725 he gave the old homestead and a piece of land in Fairfield in Beardsley's Neck to his son, John.
On May 1708, Daniel was granted lands on the west side of Stratford on the Potatuck River along with others. He was a farmer.]

[The premise that from Orcutt's 1886 work on the history of Stratford and Bridgeport that claimed Daniel Beardsley's wife was Ruth Wheeler has been disproven. She was Ruth Goodwin, daughter of Thomas Goodwin and Ruth Rogers. The Great Migration, Immigrants to New England, 1634-1635, Volume 1, A-B, by Robert Charles Anderson, George F. Sanborn, Jr., and Melinde Lutz Sanborn. Boston: New England Historic Genealogical Society, 1999. Pages 226 Holt shows him married to Ruth Goodwin as well as other more modern sources.
