Daniel Poore came to America as a young man, age 14, in the ship Bevis in May of 1638. He came with his 18 year old brother, Samuel, and his 20 year old sister, Alice. Because I have not been able to find any mention of their parents, I assume the three younger siblings came together to join their older brother, John, who had come from Wiltshire, England, to America earlier, in 1635, and had settled in Newbury, MA.

The following information, which I summarized in my own words, was taken from Caroline Poor Hutchinson, Genealogy of the Poor Family, p. 48: Daniel livedin Newbury, MA, until he became one of the first settlers, in 1644, of a new plantation called Cochichawic, which was renamed Andover in 1646. He was a "husbandman" or farmer and had a prominent part in the affairs of the town being at various times fence fiewer, surveyor, grand juryman, and, for seven years, a selectman. Daniel must have been a diligent and industrious farmer as, at his death in 1689, he left an estate consisting of many acres, situated on both sides of the Shawsheen River and running to the Merrimac River. Daniel and Mary were members of the "Ancient Church of Andover" and are buried in teh Ancient burying ground in what is now North Andover, MA.
