Excerpt

  ... Amasa Daniels is a native of Tolland County, Connecticut, and was a son of John Daniels, who is supposed to have been born in Scotland.  At all events, his father, John Daniels, Sr., was a Scotchman, and was by trade a shoemaker.  John Daniels, the grandfather of our subject, (Frank M Daniels) became a millwright and followed that pursuit in New England.  Amassa Daniels remained in the county of his nativity through the period of his minority, acquiring his limited education there, but when he had reached the age of twenty-one years he removed from Connecticut to Pennsylvania, where he engaged in business as a lumberman.  about 1815 he removed to Genesee, New York, and in 1836 he came to Michigan, settling in St. Joseph county, in the fall of that year.  He purchased land and improved two farms in Florence township, clearing three hundred and twenty acres of land.  He was very successful as a farmer, being practical and enterprising in his methods and so directing his labors that he annually received a good financial return for his work.  he died in his eighty eight year, being at that time one of the most venerable citizens of his county and a man who was respected and honored by all who knew him.  he lived an upright life, although not allied with any church and his motives and principles were such as would always bear close investigation and scrutiny.  In antebellum days he was an opponent of slavery, endorsed the abolition movement and made his home a station on the famous underground railroad until the republican party was formed to prevent the further extension of slavery.  Twice married, his first union was with Olivia Hammond, a sister of his second wife, and by that union there were nine children, five sons and four daughters, all of whom reached manhood or womanhood.  His second union was with Sophia Hammond, also a native of Tolland county, Connecticut, and a daughter of Eli Hammond, a descendant of Thomas Hammond, of English lineage.  Mrs. Daniels departed this life in her sixty-third year.  She had become the mother of six children, all of whom reached adult age, with one exception.
