John Daniel was an English sea captain who, in the ship New London, charted part of the coast of Western Australia in 1681. Daniel and the New London are believed to have been the second group of English mariners to sight the mainland of Australia, after the Tryall was wrecked in 1620 (and preceding William Dampier's Roebuck, in 1688).
A surviving copy of Daniel's chart indicates that the "Dangerous Rocks" he sighted was the Wallabi Group; the northernmost islands in the Houtman Abrolhos. A printed copy of Daniel's journal of the voyage has also survived, including a brief description of the islands.
Daniel also bestowed the name "Maiden's Isle" upon an island that may have been Rottnest Island.
John Daniel (born 1745; died in Paris, 3 October 1823) was an English Roman Catholic priest, and the last effective head of the English College, Douai.
Life
He was educated first at Dame Alice's School, Fernyhalgh, and then at Douai, where he was ordained priest and made professor of philosophy (1778) and afterwards of theology. When the president, Edward Kitchen, alarmed by the French Revolution, resigned his office in 1792, Daniel was appointed president, and was soon after, with his professors and students, taken prisoner and confined first at Arras and then at Dourlens. They were taken back, 27 November 1794, to the Irish College at Douai and in February, 1795, were allowed to return to England.
Though it has been stated that Daniel was then appointed president of the college at Crook Hall (since removed to Ushaw College), this is difficult to reconcile with contemporary documents in the Westminster diocesan archives; he did not in fact take up residence at Crook Hall, but retired to Lancashire till 1802, when he went to Paris in order to recover the property of Douai College and other British establishments. After 1815 compensation amounting to half a million pounds was paid by the French Government, but the English Government confiscated this money, neither returning it to France nor allowing the English Catholics to receive it. Daniel was the last de facto president of Douai, though the Rev. Francis Tuite was appointed titular president, to succeed him in prosecuting the claims.
John Danyel or John Daniel (Baptized 6 November 1564 – c. 1626) was an English lute player and songwriter. He was born in Wellow, Somerset, and was the younger brother of poet Samuel Daniel. His surviving works include "Coy Daphne Fled", about the nymph Daphne and her fate, and "Like as the lute delights".
Sample lyrics from "Like as the lute delights":
Daniel held some offices at court, and was the author of Songs for the Lute, Viol and Voice (1606).

John Daniel came to town one summer afternoon Wearing dirty work clothes so everyone presumed He was just another logger from the logging camp nearby And he was but there was somethin' different in John Daniel's eyes John Daniel was a young man not more than twenty-four And there was an air about him that one could not ignore And in spite of calloused hands and dirty clothes his face was kind And I wanted so to know what was in John Daniel's mind John Daniel tell me where did you come from tell me where is it you've been John Daniel tell me why are you different from all of these other men John Daniel there's somethin' about you that I don't quite understand John Daniel do you hold the answer to a higher plan I rented him a room he went upstairs like all the rest It was Saturday and he'd be going in to town I guessed But he left in a robe and sandals with a Bible in his hand And I thought to myself John Daniel I don't understand Now I'd planned to meet some friends of mine when I got off at three In the park we often gather to talk of love and peace When I got there I found that a crowd had gathered round And there I saw John Daniel a sittin' on the ground John Daniel tell me where did you come from...
