At some point during the 23 years between 1788 and 1811, Daniel made the long journey to Kent. As his family do not appear to have gone to Kent with him, he probably went as an adult in the early years of the 19th Century.

1811: Daniel married Sophia Youell on 29th July at St Mary, Chalk, Kent. Daniel's surname was given as Hurril. Both were shown as being of this parish meaning they were resident at the time. Neither was able to sign the register. The witnesses were Ann Carter and Stephen Redsell. Redsell was witness to a number of other marriages in the register, and so was probably the parish clerk. It is not clear why the marriage took place here - Sophia's baptism does not appear in the registers, nor do there appear to be other entries for the Youell and Harrall families.

1812: Daniel and Sophia's son Edward was born on 30th October at Frindsbury, Kent, and baptised at Zoar Chapel, Strood on 13th December.

1813: Daniel and Sophia's second son John, my great-great-great-grandfather, was born on 18th January at Hoo St Werbegh, Kent, and baptised at Zoar Chapel, Strood on 5th March. Daniel and Sophia's surname was spelt Harrall, corrected from Harald by Thomas Drew, protestant dissenting minister. Nine more children would be born, all of them at Hoo and mostly baptised at Zoar chapel in Strood.

1837: Daniel's wife Sophia died and was buried on 8th June at St Werbegh, Hoo. She was 46 years old.

1838: Daniel remarried to Mary Grigsby at St Werbegh, Hoo. She was eight years younger than him. They would have just one child together.
