I believe that he married Mary Wilder, not Mary Sherman.Mary Sherman married first Henry Freeman (27 Nov 1656) and then Lewis Allen (1670s).The mistake (that Mary Sherman married Daniel Allen) appears to have been made by Bond in the 1850's and repeated by Savage.
See my submission to RootsWeb (wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com, database=jbjorndahl) for more citations and arguments for why I believe that Daniel's wife was Mary Wilder. Note that 'Early Records of Lancaster, Massachusetts' (cited in their son Samuel's record) gives her name as Wilder.
