Daniel Marrow was born about 1735 at Massachusetts, a son of Daniel Marrow and Anna Youngman. Marrow enlisted in Captain Joshua Partridge's First Medway Company of Colonel John Smith's Massachusetts Militia Regiment. The regiment marched to Roxbury, Massachusetts, upon receiving the "Lexington Alarm," 19 April 1775. They served for nine days during that initial contingency. Marrow was also named within an official Medway town committee document, dated 13 April 1778. He rendered service at various times after 19 April 1775.
Following Marrow 's move to Winthrop, Maine District, Massachusetts, he provided civil service after being chosen to moderate one of six town meetings in 1781, and the first of four town meetings in 1782. Marrow was selected during a town meeting of 11 March 1782, to serve on Winthrop's Committee of Safety. This committee was authorized to meet with the committees of other towns in the county, to consult on the public good in procuring provisions, ammunition, and other necessary stores in support of the war effort. He was chosen to serve on this committee again, 10 March 1783.
Daniel Marrow married Elizabeth Harding, a daughter of Samuel Harding and Mary Cutler, 29 May 1759, at Winthrop, prior to October 1777. They were the parents of 11 children. The first eight were born at Medway, while the three youngest children were born at Winthrop.
Daniel Marrow died at Winthrop, 3 April 1812. Elizabeth Harding Marrow died at Winthrop, 12 January 1827. They were buried at the Winthrop's Lakeview Cemetery near present-day Narrow Ponds Road and Highway 372.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!
Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
