Daniel's name was transcribed as David (1881 census), Daniel (1891) and Donald (1891). Dan/Don was a common substitution at that time, whether by mistake, or as nick-name. Daniel Moreshead gave his year of birth as 1869 in the 1891 census, and as July 20 1869 in 1901. This is the closest match in the PEI Baptismal Index:
