Danforths in America
Danforth traces his roots back to surveyor Jonathan Danforth Sr (1628 - 1712) arrived in America sometime around the 1650s. He was born in Framingham, High Suffolk, England and worked on surveying work in colonial America.[2] Several generations of Danforths would reside in Massachusetts.
