Daniel Poor
Our ancestor Daniel Poor was born in England and emigrated from there to the Massachusetts Bay Colony, probably during the Great Migration of the 1630s as a child or adolescent with his parents and older sister and brother.
Daniel, his sister and brother, and his wife were part of the reactive, nomadic Cavalier Generation. His children were part of the heroic, civic-minded Glorious Generation.
