Daniel Knight was a master builder elected to The Carpenters' Company in 1789 (signed Articles in 1791) who paid his admission in carpenters work, specifically the trim and balusters of the second floor window at Carpenters' Hall. He served as Warden of The Company (1797-1799) and as a member of the Managing Committee (1800-1807, 1813, 1815-1817, 1819-1821). He may also have been a founder of the Columbia Fire Company (1796).
