Daniel married twice, firstly in 1784 to Charlotte Bellasis (died 1785), a daughter of Rev. George Bellasis, rector of Yattendon, Berkshire, which was without surviving children. Secondly in 1786 Daniel married Elizabeth Langham (died 1833), a daughter and co-heiress of Captain Purbeck Langham, 10th Dragoon Guards, of Glyndebourne and of Saunton (near Tapeley, apparently as a tenant of the Clevland family), youngest son of Sir John Langham, Baronet of Cottesbrooke Park, Northamptonshire.
