Daniel was born the son of Edward Richards and Mary Head in [most likely] Dorchester County Maryland.
QUAKER BOTTOM
Edward moved the entire family first to an area which became known as Quaker Bottom where he associated with the original Gunpowder Meeting [of Quakers] in 1729. The first meeting house, made of logs, is long gone. A second building of stone still stands. It was built in 1778, is listed by the Maryland Historical Trust, and still sits [though in some disrepair] in Cockeysville MD on private property.

THE BIRTH OF HAMPSTEAD
Edward joined his first-born son Benjamin and fellow Quaker Isaac Wright in beginning a Quaker meeting ca 1739 on land named "Spring Garden" and "Rattlesnake Ridge" that Edward had patented in 1730. This land and surrounding grew into the town of Hampstead Maryland.
WILLIAM FARQUHAR
Daniel moved to a location that would become the town of Union Bridge in far-west Carroll County [about 22 miles west of Hampstead]. There William Farquhar had organized the Pipe Creek Meeting; which Daniel associated with. William Farquhar had settled the land, built a home for living and meeting, and opened it for worshipers.
