The son of Thomas & Rebecca Abbott of Bildeston, Suffolk England, Daniel immigrated to America with the Winthrop Fleet on 8 Apr 1630. He was a freeman, indicating he was at least the age 21 years. Recently, a baptismal record was located for him which shows he was of age 46 years when he came to America. This aligns well with his death in 1647 at a more reasonable age of 63 years.

20 May 1644 - Land record shows Daniel sold, to Robert Morris, five parcels of land in Providence: "....twenty acres upland, a share of meadow, sixty acres, another share of meadow and a fifth parcel and....". [Note: Per source, some details in this record no longer legible.]

[Note: Referring to Daniel's only daughter, Mary, before her marriage to Thomas D Wallen.]
28 Jul 1651 - Thomas Harris and Nicholas Power are ordered to "....equally divide the goats and goods, and what else that belongs unto the two orphans of Daniell Abbott, deceased, and possess Thomas Walling, husband of Mary Abbott, the daughter of the said deceased, with one half of the said goats, goods, &c., and the other half to order for Daniel Abbot, the son of the said deceased best advantage."

(Note: Possibly the same five parcels conveyed to Robert Morris on 20 May 1644.)

Notes:
At different times in history, the name of Wallen is recorded with variations such as Wallin and Walling. Although there is no passenger list for the ship "Anne," there was a list of names for the new arrivals indicating the lands allotted to each. To avoid confusion, my ancestors who descended from Ralph will be shown as Wallen.
