DNA: MKM Census: 1850 census at Township 13N1E, Knox, IL shows: William M. Dailey, 31, farmer, b. VA; Mary, 21, b. OH. They are enumerated next door to the family of Jacob and Ann Collins and their 9 children. Among those children listed in the Collins household are an Amanda, 4 and Elijah, 1, their last name is listed as Collins. According to my records Mary Collins has died by Nov. 6, 1850 the day this family was enumerated, however, the census specifically asks who was in the household on June 1 of 1850. The two children of William and Mary, Amanda and Elijah are not enumerated with them. Census: 1860 census at Rio, Knox, IL shows: Wm. Daily, 48, b. OH, farmer; Ennis, 38, b. OH; Anna, 13, b.

This family is indexed with "Ennis" as the head of household due to the way the census taker listed the family. Census: 1870 census at Grand River, Wayne, IA shows: Wm. M. Daly, 53, b.

OH: Sarah, 23, Leander, 21; Elizabeth, 19; Isabel, 16; Eleanor, 14; Rebecca, 11. Also listed in the household are Spencer Booker, 15 and Daniel Booker, 11. These may be the sons of Mary's sister Jane who was married to Joseph Booker. Died: Two death dates have been reported for John W. Dailey, 1856 and 1873. I tend to think that the 1873 is correct as his wife Mary who died in 1865 is buried in Rio. Had John died in 1856 he probably would have been buried either there or in Ohio. As he is supposedly buried in Iowa I think the later date is more correct. See letters from Austin Dailey to Mabel Crawford. Buried: Was told John was buried at a cemetery near West Liberty, have been unable to locate. Find A Grave e-Memorial
