Calvin was a private and later corporal in Capt. Joseph Thompson's Co., Col. Timothy Danielson's Regiment. Calvin fought at Bunker Hill, crossed the Delaware with General Washington, and participated in the capture of Hessian troops at Trenton. In 1787 after the war he again reenlisted and fought against the rebels in Shay's Rebellion. He was the son of John Danielson and Ruth Blodgett and the husband of Catherine McMaster. About 1798 Calvin and his family moved from Massachusetts to Otsego County, New York. He was following his father and several brothers who had moved to Butternuts, NY, six years earlier. After his wife's death in 1841 this researcher believes he remarried to Eunice _____, who lived 1795-aft1860. About 1833 Calvin Danielson along with his children, siblings, and cousins, changed his name from 'Danielson' to 'Donaldson', believing that 'Donaldson' was the original family name back in 1600's Scotland. He was listed in the 1840 census as 'Calvin Donaldson,' and also appeared under that name in the authoritative "History of Otsego County, New York," by D. Hamilton Hurd (1878). However, his family buried him under the older name 'Danielson.' Much of the best research on the Donaldson/Danielson family was done from 1925-1965 by Harriet H. Donaldson Wilkinson. Children (in addition to those listed in familylinks below): Calvin Donaldson, Jr. Note: There is no evidence that there was ever a child named Frederick Calvin. The 1800 Census for Butternuts, Otsego, NY, shows Calvin with three older sons, but only one son aged 0-10. That young son was Chester, who is well documented in the record.
