    Daniel listed in index of names 1667, 1680, 1684, 1689 et al. See
    "Collections of the New Jersey Historical Society, Vol VI, 'Records of
    the town of Newark. On 1 Jun 1680, Dan'l was deeded 2 acres in his
    father's home lot. On 2 May 1694, he bought 4 1/2 acres adjacent to that
    property. He had a son, Daniel, Jr. and another son, Joseph, from whom I
    am descended. Joseph moved to Morris Co., NJ 1725-30. His son was Daniel
    Tichenor; he m. (2) Anna (Byram) Condict, who was a Third great grand
    daughter of John and Priscilla (Mullens) Alden.
    
    Ref#205:
    The Fundamental Agreement of the first settlers of Newark was signed by a
    Daniel Tichenor. It is generally considered improbable that the signer
    was our Daniel as he was only 11 years old at the time. However, no
    Daniel Tichenor received land in the first division of land or was on the
    first tax list as would be expected of a man of age. The name Daniel
    Tichenor does not appear in the records of the town meetings of Newark,
    after the signing of the Fundamental Agreement, until 1680. Here the
    record shows Daniel requesting land. This was surely our Daniel as he was
    23 years old at the time. The records therefore give no evidence of an
    older Daniel Tichenor. The rules concerning the age of voters in the
    colony is not known, but there seems to be no good reason that a minor
    could not have signed the Fundamental Agreement. Although temporarily in
    effect, it did not have the force of law, and in fact it's principal
    provision that only members of the established Church would be "admitted
    freemen or free Burgesses" was ignored by the governor in 1674, when he
    announced that letters of admissions to towns in the province would be
    through the Governor and Council.
    
    Daniel Tichenor's name appears 6 times between 1680 and 1700 in the town
    records. In 1684 he had "Liberty... to take up a piece of land in the
    Common" He was chosen fence viewer in 1689, and was chosen pounder in
    1690. One item in the town record March 5, 1693 as follows: Whereas,
    there is much Prophanation of the Lord's Day in the time of Worship, by
    the playing of Boys and Girls; therefore, Daniel Tichenor and Thomas Lyon
    are chosen to look after them, and to correct them, or call them by Name
    as they shall see occasion, for the year ensuing.
    
    June 1, 1680, Daniel Tichenor was deeded 2 acres in his father's home
    lot. Daniel bought 4 1/2 acres in "Little or Tichenor's Neck" adjacent to
    that lot, May 2, 1694. In 1697 he received land, evidently jointly with
    his brother,Jonathan, in right of their father. Sept. 3, 1701, he had an
    "interest of one right" in purchase agreement covering Indian lands west
    of Newark.
