This passage, and notes through Benjamin Daily b. 1744

RESIDENCES: Braintree by 1662;Mendon 1679;Providence 1688 - d. 1720. John Daly is first recorded in 1662 in Braintree. Births there are recorded for the first three children born to John and Elizabeth. The firstborn, John, must have died young, since they named another child John when born in Mendon 25 Mar 1679, the date that is the earliest record of the family being in Mendon, which was founded by grantees from Braintree. Children were born to the family in Mendon through 1684. On 28 May 1659 a group of Braintree residents petitioned the General Court of Massachusetts to grant them lands in the area that became Mendon. John Daly's name is not on the list, which does contain the names of Thomas Dyer and John Gurney. (See John G. Metcalf, ANNALS OF THE TOWN OF MENDON, Providence, 1880, p. 1.) Same, p. 5: A deed for the lands signed with Indians 22 April 1662. By Dec 1675 Indians had burned all of the buildings of settlers, all of whom had left. By 1680 20 families from Braintree returned and settled in Mendon. John Daly's name is on a 17 Oct 1681 petition of proprietors of Mendon to the General Court, requesting that non-resident proprietors be taxed for ministerial support. (Mass. Archives, vol. 11:14) THE PROPRIETOR'S RECORDS OF MENDON (pub. Boston 1899), p. 317, lists a transfer of 10 acres "sold to John Dayly now in possession of Thomas Thayer" on 26 April 1693, and p. 771 has a 22 May 1701 record: "Laid out to Thomas Thayer 5 acre of Dayly's dubling lot and 4 acres of the fourth division now in possession of Thomas Thayer." This indicates that John Dailey had received 10 acres as a grant in Mendon, but had sold it and left Mendon before 1693. John Dalie is recorded in 27 April 1685 Providence town meeting minutes that state: "Whereas there is a person belonging to ye towne of Mendon, John Daily by name, who is endeavoring to make himself and inhabitant in our towne by settling himself and his family within our township, by procuring some small parcel of land therein. The towne taking into consideration that the said John Daily is an inhabitant of an other towne and colony, and not seeing how he can here settle himself and his family but that he may be chargeable to the town, which in case such be his condition, it belongs to the town of Mendon to take care of his supply."

He is recorded as a taxpayer in Providence, Aug 1688. In 1689 he bought 90 acres of land in Providence and the year following exchanged land with Ann Pratt. On 10 Sep 1692 John signed a contract with John Bloxton, agreeing to farm half of the Bloxton property. There exists a later deed conveying Cold Spring property from John Bloxton to John Daly. In 1703 land sales and transfers indicate that John Dalie was no longer able to farm the lands he owned. On 20 March 1703/04 Daniel Hartnit deeds land to Waterman that he had bought from John Dalie and that John Dalie had bought from Pardon Tillinghast. On 8 Nov 1703 John Dalie deeded to his son Joseph 40 acres. This probably was based on the misjudgement that Joseph would support him in his old age. There are numerous court judgements ordering Joseph to pay for the support of his father John. On 5 Oct 1719, the Providence court ordered clothing of deceased paupers to be sold and the money to be given for the relief of John Dalie. On 3 Jan 1717/18, the court ordered Joseph to pay Morris Brook, husband of his daughter Margaret, and John Rhoades, husband of his daughter Elizabeth, for the keeping of his father. On Feb 10 the court again ordered the Daly children to pay for the support of their father. On 10 May, Joseph Dalie signed a court composed contract to pay for his father's support, with his property as a lien. On 19 May, Morris Broock signed a court document stating that he would care for his father-in-law John Dalie, and that Joseph Dalie should pay him for part of the expenses. On 23 May and 30 May 1720, court records state that money is due John Rhoades for caring for John Dalie, who was his wife Abigail's father.

Biography

John was born in 1642. John Daily or Dailey married Elizabeth Downing. He passed away in 1720. [1]

Marriage from Mass. Town & Vital records 1620-1988

ARRIVAL IN AMERICA: by 1662There is no record of his origin or passage. Since he was Protestant, it is unlikely that he was an Irish Dailey. It is possible that he was a French Huguenot named Daillee. Records of Huguenots in England refer to numerous "John Dalys" whose names were Anglicized from Jean Daillee. RESIDENCES: Braintree by 1662;Mendon 1679;Providence 1688 - d. 1720.

John and Elizabeth moved with nineteen other Braintree families to Mendon in 1680. This was after the first Braintree settlement there had been wiped out by a Narraganset raid.

John Daly is first recorded in 1662 in Braintree. Births there are recorded for the first three children born to John and Elizabeth. The firstborn, John, must have died young, since they named another child John when born in Mendon 25 Mar 1679, the date that is the earliest record of the family being in Mendon, which was founded by grantees from Braintree.

May have descended from Huguenots living in England and not Irish.

Also, he was not related to Dennis Darling of Braintree and Mendon, even though some name listings were similar.
