Daniel Walker Lord (1800-1880) was the first son of Nathaniel and Phoebe Lord, and was soon following in his father's footsteps. He entered business life in 1819, "in partnership with older men engaged in the West Indies trade." As his shipping interests developed he shifted his activities to Boston. He built numerous vessels and purchased varying degrees of ownership in many more. At various times throughout his career Lord was the principal owner of, among others, the brig COMMODORE PREBLE, bark DANA, and ships EXCELSIOR, PATTERSON, HARVEST, MARY LORD, HAMLIN, LINCOLN, STARS AND STRIPES, and GENERAL BERRY.
In 1824 he married Lydia Abbot, and two years later he was elected to the state legislature where he served for several years. He eventually became a member of the Governor's Council. He supported his state's Prohibitory Law, and in later life was a member of the Board of Trustees of Bowdoin College. His first wife died in 1851, and in 1853 he married Lydia Patterson, daughter of Capt. Acton Patterson of Kennebunkport. His later years were spent at Malden, Massachusetts, where he died on September 4, 1880.
