| 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.
Early 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."

was sworn in Inquest for the body of the
County, and was appointed by an act
regulating enclosure of the fort to view
the fences in the Township of
Clarksville. His daughter Mary's
