[9552] Nothing is known about Daniel's early life in New York or exactly when he arrived in Indiana. However, by 1840 he was employed as a field surveyor, attached to the government land office at Fort Wayne, IN. (See Nickey Family by Ella M. Milligan). Shortly after his marriage Daniel turned to farming in Whitley Co., IN, where other members of his wife's family lived. He also dabbled in local politics as well, serving twice as County Commissioner.

After the death of Rosanna, and his marriage to Jennie, Daniel and his family moved to Minnesota where he opened a general store and helped start a new town, then known as East Chain Lake. In later years Daniel operated the East Chain grist mill, then the Victoria Mill. The family lived in Fairmont, MN for many years.

[15111] Mary Jane or "Jennie" had a daughter, Etta, by her first husband. Etta was born circa 1862 in Pennsylvania. She was enumerated with the Rice family in Martin Co., MN in the 1870 federal census, as Etta Stewart. Also in the Minnesota state census for 1875. At the time of her marriage (20 May 1879) she was using the surname Rice, as reported in the local newspaper.

July 2006: On internet, (rootswebworldconnect) info from one Richard Belding Gilbert gives considerable info about the Belding family; where they resided after their marriage, etc. Etta's name is given as Etta Virginia Rice.

July 2006: Checked 1920 census on line and found Etta Belding in Tulsa, OK with son-in-law Dennis Swisher and wife, Naomi, who was Etta's daughter. Other daughter, Mae, was part of this household. Again, Stella Gould's notes were correct.

[9543]

DATA:
Birth information can also be found in "The Nickey Family in America" by Ella Metsker Milligan, 1940.
NOTE:
[9544] Is it possible that Daniel was really born in Oneida Co., NY (as stated in MN County History)? Abner and family may have left Madison after his debts were settled and perhaps lived for a time with a relative? By 1816 Abner and Keziah joined the Presbyterian Church in Cazenovia. Membership record showed they had come from Wallingford; no state listed.
