  • Notes 
    • Daniel is buried in the Springfield Cemetery in Springfield Massachusetts. The original burial grounds were at the river front behind the Old First Church. In 1849, to make way for the railroad, 2024 bodies were moved to the cemetery on the hill. They were placed in a mass grave. The main entrance to the cemtery is on Maple St but the graves are at the Pine Street entrance. Most of this information is found in the Cooley genealogy book by Mortimer E. Cooley published in 1941.
    • (Research):On 10 May 1643, Non-County Area 1 was formed by the General Court of Massachusetts Bay Colony comprising the unsettled, unorganized area which, at the time, extended from the Connecticut River basin an indefinite distance westward into the ill-defined "Western Country". Also on this date the four orginal counties were created
      o Middlesex
      o Essex
      o Suffolk
      o Norfolk (now a part of SW Maine)
      (Mass. Recs., 2:38)
      Springfield was founded (for non-religious reasons) in 1636 by William Pynchon thus it was simply in the Connecticut River basin until 1643 when it found itself in Non-County Area 1 (Winthrop expanding his power base).
      Hampshire county was created from Non-County Area 1 (towns of Springfield, Northampton, Hadley, and all territory within 30 miles) on 7 May 1662. It effectively covered the entire western part of the province. Non-County Area 1 was eliminated (Mass. Recs., vol. 4, pt. 2:52)
      Hampden county was was set off from the northern half of Hampshire Co 1 Aug 1812. [6, 7]
