Excerpt from The Daniell Family: A Genealogy of Robert Daniell and Some of His Descendants The name is a common one in England, if we may judge from the long list in the Encyclopedia of Heraldry. In that list the name Daniell occurs twenty-six times, Daniel five times, and Daniels once. The various spellings of the name that are found in old copies of deeds, Wills, &c., at least so far as the family under consideration is concerned, are undoubtedly owing to the caprice or carelessness of scriveners and copyists. A search for original autographs has shown that all whose names are here recorded, with a few unimportant exceptions, from the first Robert down to the present time, have spelled the name Daniell. It is probable that the addition of a final 3 in other branches of the family is a growth of comparatively recent times. There may be families, however, whose ancestors brought the name Daniels from the old country. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
