The records of the Mormon community in Llanelli list Daniel, wife Ann, and son John as members in 1848 (Film no. 104169). Also, Ronald D. Dennis gives the Ship's List of the Buena Vista with the names of Daniel age 35, Ann age 28, John age 11, Daniel age 9, Mary age 4, and Ann age 11 months (Dennis, The Call of Zion, Appendix B)
