Thomas Daft born 1745 in England
I am not a Daft descendant, but since it is such a rare name, I thought Daft researchers might be interested in a Daft mention in the latest issue of The New York Genealogical and Biographical RECORD (Vol. 137, Number 3).There is an ongoing article entitled “Deaths Recorded by the First Presbyterian Church, New York City, 1790-1792,” which includes the following entry, on page 222 of the RECORD:
August 29, 1791
“Thomas Daft, watch maker, Native of Engd, agd 46 yr. 21 days”
