PHILIP DAILY was born
about 1762, and was the son of
Charles Daily and Eleanor
"Nellie" (Temple) Daily.
Family notes indicate his family
lived near Pittsburgh, and that when
his father Charles died, his widowed
mother Nellie went to the fort at
Louisville, Kentucky with her sons
and other Pennsylvania families.
Philip
served as a private in the
Revolutionary War in Lieutenant
Horatio Claggett's 3rd Company of
Maryland, a regiment commanded by
Colonel Ramsey. His name
appears on the roll dated February
1778.
He
married Mary Wise in Bullitt County,
Kentucky and lived at Fort Beargrass
in Louisville. Mary was the daughter
of Valentine Wise & Katie (Franz)
of Washington County, Maryland.
In
1796 Philip and Mary removed to
Indiana and lived in Clark County, in
the town of Charlestown. His
name appears in records of the Grand
Jury for the April and July 1801 term
where he 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 (Kittie) marriage to
Joseph Malott, is also recorded in
these early records of Clark County.
Philip and Mary (Wise)
Daily were the parents of: Nellie who
married Hezekiah APPLEGATE; Elizabeth
who married Daniel or David FIELD;
Mary W. "Pollie" who
married Edmund or Edward HUCKLEBERRY;
Jacob who was in the War of 1812 and
married Elizabeth BARKER; Philip who
married Dalia ATHON and was buried on
the State Road leading to Madison,
IN; Charles who was born in 1795 and
died in infancy; David Wise who
married Mary A. SHIRLEY; Eli who
married Mary "Polly" TUELL;
Charlotte who married James BOYER;
Kittie (Mary) who married (1) Joseph
MALOTT and (2) Samuel CARR.
Not a
great deal has been learned about the
families into which the first four
children were born, nor Kittie's
spouses except that Joseph Malott was
murdered by a man named Irwin, and
most all appear to have been early
settlers to Clark County, Indiana.
