It means that Richard was the son of John, who was the son of Daniel.

It used to be common in Lancashire to differentiate between people of the same name in a district by mentioning their fathers.

Genealogical gold!!

Looking at ALSTON in south Ribble area, ALSTEAD and DONBAVAND/DUNBABIN etc. everywhere, HOWCROFT and MARSH in Bolton and Westhoughton, PICKERING in the Whitehaven area.
