Note from Patti: In piecing together the ancestry of Philip Daily over the years with the generous assistance of David James and Renee (Daily) Hill, the following is the descendancy as we've come to understand it. Although the connection is not known, after receing an email from Dick Brainard regarding his line of descendancy from John Daily, son of Samuel and Eleanor, I decided to include that line on a separate page in hopes someone may be able to tie them together with some documentation.

My thanks to David James, Renee Hill, and Dick Brainard for sharing their Daily family history, and to Kathi Swan who photographed headstone photos at Monongahela Cemetery in Washington Co., Pennsylvania, and who has been so willing to provide additional information and leads.

If you find errors which need correcting or can clarify other documentation we've yet to locate, please feel free to email me. Thanks!

From the "History of Washington County, Pennsylvania with Biographical Sketches of Many of Its Pioneers and Prominent Men" by Boyd Crumrine, Philadelphia: L. H. Leverts & Co., 1882, the following explanation of the land tracts owned by Philip, Charles, Samuel, and Nathan Dailey:

"The township of Union lies in the northeast corner of Washington County, on the convex side of a sweeping bend of the Monongahela River, which forms its entire eastern boundary. On the north and northeast the township is bounded by Allegheny County, on the west by Peters and Nottingham townships, and on the south by the township of Carroll. Besides the Monongahela a river, which forms the eastern boundary of the township, as already mentioned, the only streams of sufficient size and importance to be worthy of mention are Mingo Creek in the southern and Peter Creek in the northern part of the township. Both these streams flow in an easterly course into the Monongahela. These, with a number of smaller creeks and runs, tributaries of the two principal creeks and of the Monongahela, comprise all the waters of Union township. Along the margin of the river are bottom-lands, ranging from one-eighth to three-quarters of a mile in width. From the western and northwestern borders of these bottoms the land rises abruptly into a range of high " river hills," from the tops of which elevations there stretches away towards the interior a succession of high rolling uplands, everywhere tillable and admirably adapted for purposes of agriculture and grazing. The hills are underlaid with a rich and heavy vein of coal, and above this vein is found an unlimited supply of stone of the most excellent and durable quality for purposes of building, to which use it has been successfully applied by the inhabitants of this locality almost from the time of the building of the homes of the earliest settlers.

Land owned by Philip, Charles, Samuel & Nathan DaileyEarly Settlements and Settlers. - The following is a list of the names of persons assessed in Nottingham townships in 1788, John Barr, 140 acres; Joseph Bentley, 115 acres; Charles Bradford, 65 acres; Philip Dailey, 110 acres; Charles Dailey, 260 acres ; Nathan Dailey 300 acres; Jacob Fegley, 325 acre; Zachariah Fegley; Simeon Fegley: John Holcroft, 400 acres: John Happer, 300 acres; James Logan, 100 acres: Robert Little, 400 acres.

Philip Dailey received 17 Jan 1780, a Virginia certificate for a tract "adjoining lands of Gabriel Cox, and including his settlement made in the year of our Lord 1773." This tract was surveyed as two hundred and twenty-three acres under the name of "Dauphin." At his death Philip Dailey left this property by will to his sons, Philip, Charles, and Samuel Dailey. The map can be viewed at the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission Bureau of Archives and History - Records of the Land Office Warrantee Township Maps. By selecting "Union Twp" the land of the Dailys is easily enlarged and well-documented.

Nathan Dailey, a brother of Philip, Sr., warranted a tract of land containing two hundred and eighty-nine acres, called "Falling Timber Bottom." The application for this land was dated May 23, 1769. The land was also secured by Mr. Dailey upon, a Virginia certificate, and the warrant of acceptance was given 16 Dec 1792. One hundred and twenty-seven acres of this property was conveyed by Nathan Dailey to his son Nathan in October, 1816, and one hundred and twenty-seven acres was sold by him, 13 Jan 1818, to Joseph Bentley. The part given to Nathan Dailey, Jr;, was in turn left by him to his son Isaac, who afterwards sold a portion of it to John Hindman.

Joseph Bentley came from Chester County, Pa., to this place with his father (George Bentley), who settled on Jacobs Creek, in Washington County. Joseph was then un-married, and Mercy, daughter of Philip Dailey, Sr., afterwards became his wife. The Bentleys were early settlers. Joseph was assessed upon one hundred and fifteen acres of land in the year 1788. When he married, Joseph Bentley settled upon a part of the tract patented to Nathan Dailey as " Falling Timber Bottom," adjoining the property of Moses Halliday. On Jan. 18, 1818, Nathan Daily sold to him a mill privilege and one hundred and twenty-seven acres of land below his earlier purchase, as in 1801 he had purchased of James Logan the tract patented Dec. 8, 1800, as "Falling Tree Bottom," which adjoins the tract " Falling Timber Bottom." The Logan purchase is the land upon which Joseph Bentley built the stone house in which he passed his life. His son George is the only one of the eleven children now living, and he occupies the homestead. Benjamin, Levi, Eli, and Absalom, also remained upon the old place until their death. Jesse went West, and Mary, who married Thomas Wilson, removed to Venango County, in this State. The old distillery which Joseph Bentley built is still standing up the Run, near where his stone house was built. The distillery was in operation until 1862.

John Hindman came from the eastern part of Maryland to this county about the year 1796, and on April 16, 1798, purchased seventy-two acres of Thomas Canon. This land was on the hills, a short distance below Limetown. Later, Mr. Hindman bought eighty acres of land of Isaac Dailey, a son of Nathan Dailey, which was a portion of the body called "Falling Timber Bottom." On Aug. 20, 1819, he became possessor of one hundred and three acres of the tract "Dauphin," which was taken up by Philip Dailey. This purchase he sold to his son William, Sept. 19, 1823. John Hindman lived and died upon the property he bought of Isaac Dailey. His family consisted of four sons and five daughters. Of these, John died while young ; Robert settled in Allegheny County; William remained in Union township, and some, if not all, of the daughters remained upon the homestead. Samuel, the youngest son, also remained there until 1864, when he purchased a small place in Gastonville, where he now lives.

William Patton came to this section with the Hindman and Pollock families about 1799. He settled on a farm of one hundred and eighty acres, a portion of Nathan Dailey's " Fallen Timber Bottom," which his son Robert now owns. The log house built and occupied by William Patton until his death is still standing, and is now the home of Harvey Biers. William Patton had six children, three sons and three daughters. William and Robert live in Union township, and John in Fallowfield. The daughter Sarah married Samuel Kiddue and lives in Allegheny County; Mary married James Pollock, and her home adjoins her father's farm; Matilda became the wife of Joseph Kiddue, and her home is in Monongahela City."

Philip married Mary Wise in Jefferson, Co., Kentucky on 02 February 1786. She was the daughter of Valentine and Katie (Franz) of Washington Co., Maryland. They lived at Fort Beargrass in Louisville, Kentucky, but shortly removed to Charlestown in what became Clark County, Indiana where their children were born.
