Daniel
Dulaney
of
Pendleton
District, S.C.
Based
on research from a Xerox copy given to Sue Lambert of an unpublished
typescript
written
by Mildred Dulaney of Mart, Texas, about 1985.
How we are related:
Daniel Dulaney (1750-1825)
Thomas Dulaney (1782-1829)
Gilbert Dulaney (1811-1862)
Elizabeth Buenvista Dulaney Brewer (1848-1935)
Holland Nathaniel Brewer (1871-1950)
Ina Beatrice Brewer Johnson (1900-1978)
Marion Allan Johnson (1923-1998)
Daniel
Dulaney, whose parents are unknown*** (see note 3 below), was born
about 1750, place unknown, and died about 1825 in Alabama, probably
in Jefferson or St. Clair County. He married about 1775-1779,
probably in South Carolina, Priscilla, said to be Priscilla White,
born about 1755 in South Carolina according to the 1850 census of
Benton County, Alabama, (849-839), where she is listed as age 95. Priscilla
probably died soon after this census, but no grave has been found for her or her husband Daniel.
Her parents are variously identified, but unproven.
In
both the 1840 and 1850 Census Priscilla is listed in the household of John
Perry and his wife Rachel Dulaney Perry. Rachel Dulaney is often
listed as Priscilla's daughter, but it is more likely that she is her
granddaughter (speculated to be the daughter of Baker Dulaney by a
first wife who died) who raised by Priscilla (even after Baker
married Sebret Harrison). If birth years are close to accurate,
Priscilla would have been 58 at the time of Rachel's birth. ***(see note 2 below)

Daniel
Dulaney was a farmer in the area between the Tugaloo and Keowee
Rivers which was claimed by both Georgia and South Carolina until the
Beaufort Convention of 1787 gave title to the area to South Carolina.
Some records on Daniel Dulaney are therefore found in both states.
Daniel served in the War for American Independence. For those desiring to join the Daughters or Sons of the American Revolution, his Ancestor Number can be found on the DAR website:

Daniel
Dulaney lived for many years in Pendleton District, South Carolina,
in the area that later became Oconee County. Deeds for Pendleton
District are found in the courthouse of Anderson County.
His
name is first seen in a land grant from 1784 regarding 640 acres on
Congaree Creek in the Orangeburg District of South Carolina.
Another
entry is found in Pendleton District SC Deeds 1790-1806 by
Bettie Willie, pg 91:
The
first deed found was dated 15 August 1794, though he lived there
before that date, being listed in the 1790 census of Pendleton
District. Mesne Conveyance Book C-D on page 360 records the purchase
by Daniel Delaney for £15 of 100 acres on a branch of Choestoe Creek
on 15 August 1794 from William McCaleb.
The next page, 361, shows two
purchases of land by Daniel Dulaney, the first on 10 October 1795
from Joshua Lee for £60 354 acres lying on a northwest branch of
Choestoe Creek, waters of Tugaloo River, bounding SW by land laid out
to William McCaleb.
The second deed on page 361 is
dated 4 December 1795 between Jacob Holland, Junior, of Abbeville
County and conveys for £62 200 acres lying on a small creek of
Connoross water of Savannah River. All three of these deeds were
recorded 18 December 1797.
A fourth purchase of land is
recorded in Mesne Conveyance Book C-D on page 467 and conveys 200
acres of land situate on Conneross for $200.00 from Thomas Shanklin
of Abbeville County to Daniel Dulaney, dated 4 February 1799 and
recorded 19 February 1799. Hannah Shanklin gave up her dower rights.
The land purchased by Daniel
Dulaney in these four deeds totals 854 acres, but deeds where he sold
land total only 460 acres. In Deed Book E, page 169 (Anderson
County, S.C.) Daniel Delaney sells for $150 100 acres to Jonathan
Crittington on 18 September 1797 and recorded 13 February 1800.
Daniel Dulaney signed by mark.
Deed Book F, page 76, shows the
conveyance of 50 acres of the tract purchased from Thomas Shanklin to
Joseph Smith for $150 the land lying upon Coneross on a small creek
that goes by the name of Fullers Creek. This sale was dated 16
September 1799 and recorded 27 October 1800.
The final sale, Deed Book O,
page 12, was apparently made just before Daniel Dulaney moved away,
for it was dated 5 November and recorded 14 November 1817. This sale
was to William Carson of land on Fullers Creek, water of Coneross,
for 310 acres and was signed Daniel (his X mark) Dulany, Sen’r with
William Dulany and Baker Dulany as witnesses. Priscilla Dulany, wife
of Daniel, relinquished her rights, and also signed by mark.
(See also: Pendleton
District, S.C. Deeds, 1790-1806, compiled by Betty Willie,
Easley, South Carolina : Southern Historical Press, c1982)
Apparently Daniel Dulaney lived
in Georgia as well as in South Carolina. Early Records of
Georgia, Volume Two, Wilkes County, (abstracted and compiled by
Grace Gillam Davidson, reprinted 1968 by the Rev. Silas Emmett Lucas,
Jr., Vidalia, Georgia), gives a tax list for 1785. On page 24 in the
List of Taxable Property of Inhabitants of Capt. Walker’s District
is listed Daniel Delaney – 1 poll, 200 acres Wilkes Co., 287½
acres Franklin Co. Property in Georgia was rendered in the county of
residence, regardless of where the property lay. However in 1785
Franklin County extended across the Tugaloo River into present day
South Carolina.
Daniel Dulaney is found in the
1790, 1800, and 1810 census of Pendleton District. Sometime after
signing the deed in 1817 he and his family moved to Alabama. It is
thought that he is one of the males over 21 in the household of his
son Baker in the 1820 census of St. Clair County, Alabama.

Children
of Daniel Dulaney and Priscilla White
The
children of Daniel Dulaney and Priscilla White were named by a
granddaughter as William, Baker, John, Rachel who married a Perry,
and Daniel. As far as the recollections and memory of this
granddaughter, Mary Alice Dulaney Klaus, have been proven they have
been accurate, but incomplete. For example, in one family she named
three children, but census records show seven more children than she
named. In naming the children of Daniel Dulaney and his wife
Priscilla, the same thing seems to have happened, for census records
indicate far more children than the five named.
It
is doubtful if all these listed in the census are children of Daniel
and Priscilla. By 1802, the estimated birth date of Daughter V,
Priscilla was about 47 years of age and it would seem that her
child-bearing years were over and her family complete. The younger
children in the 1820 census were not the children of any of Daniel’s
known children, but could have been the children of Daughter I or II. It is believed by descendants of Rachel and others that Rachel was actually the daughter of Baker Dulaney by a first wife who died. Even after Baker married Sebret Harriston, Rachel remained with Priscilla, but Baker was always living close by. (See note 2 below)
Below is Mildred Dulaney's guess work of who some of these unknown children might be:
Daughter
I – (Possibly Disproved Conjecture?) *** (see
note 1 below) Isabella b. 26 Feb 1785, m. Samuel C. Born 19 Dec 1905
and had several children, including Daniel Delaney Born, b. 26 August
1813. Isabella d. 15 Dec 1852 in Gwinnett Co., Georgia.
Daughter
II – name unknown, m. ____ Rice, possibly son of Charles Rice of
Pendleton District. William Rice, b. ca. 1833 SC is listed in the
household of John Dulaney in 1850 in Itawamba, Mississippi.
Daughter
III – Mary m. ____ Hickman. Mary Hickman, aged 60, b. SC in
household of Alfred Dulaney in 1850 census of Itawamba Co.,
Mississippi. She was about the right age to be his aunt. One
Hickman researcher has found a William Hickman, born 1792, wife’s
name unknown.
Daughter
IV – no clue
Daughter
V – Elizabeth m. Allen Goodwin in Jefferson Co., Alabama 17 July
1826, by Anderson

bondsman.

agreed to pay costs. There is a
Jourdan Peters in 1830 Tuscaloosa Co., Alabama, census, age 20-30
with no wife. Whether Sebret had died and this was her husband is
not known. Correspondence with Peters researchers indicates there
were several men named Jordan Peters.
Female VII – Unidentified.
Joel?
– b. 1804. There is a Joel Dulaney in the 1850 Yalobusha Co.,
Mississippi, census living with Daniel
Dulaney, b. about 1820, who is
probably Daniel Calhoun Dulaney, b. 1816. Mrs. Joel Nelson Dulaney
said Daniel Calhoun Dulaney had a brother or uncle for whom he named
his son, Joel Nelson. So it is possible Joel was the son of Daniel
and Priscilla Dulaney, or he may be the one called Joseph, son of
William in the notes.

TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES:
1.
Daughter I - My research has shown that the Isabella who married
Samuel Born was the daughter of other parents and is not the
Daughter I of Daniel & Priscilla Dulaney.
2.
Rachel Dulaney - On my tree I have listed Rachel b. 1813 as the
daughter of Baker Dulaney b. 1790 as this seems logical considering
the reasoning of respected Dulaney researcher Melba Straigis and
other descendants of Rachel and John Perry.

Mildred
Dulaney was a dear friend of mine. We had corresponded for several
years plus - even did some genealogical field trips together back in
the 1960's , mainly searching for the parents of Daniel Dulaney of
Pendleton. I do know that most researchers had figured that Rachel
was a daughter of Daniel and Priscilla, but, it is a simple case of
arithmetic. Priscilla was all of 58 years of age in 1813 when Rachel
was born (way past her birthing years) We had been spending so much
of our time hunting Daniel's parent's that I guess we all just
accepted the names of children as given to us by that family's
descendants. I have learned in my 40 plus years of researching that
mistakes can be made there also. It was thought by many that Baker
had never married before Sabret because of his widowed mother, but I
believe that he had married once and had Rachel, lost his wife and
raised his daughter with the help of his mother. Rachel was a
teenager when her father married Sabret Harrison in 1827 and probably
continued to live with Priscilla until she married John Perry. By
1850, Priscilla was living with Rachel and her family. next to Baker
and E.C.'s families. Rachel had named her first son, "Baker".
(after her father?) Remember that Baker was a good deal older than
his wife, Sabret. I believe that my great, great grandmother,
Priscilla Dulaney, born 1799, was the last child of Daniel and
Priscilla who was about 44 years old at the time of that birth.
There
is a male child living in the Perry household in 1840, but he would
not be a son of John Perry and Rachel Dulaney,
as he was born before their marriage. He could be a son from a
previous marriage, son of another relative, or someone living with
them for another reason.

It
was thought by some in years past that the Daniel Dulaney, b 1750 in
Md. and died in London 1825 was the husband of Priscilla White, but
in truth, that Daniel was a son of the Hon. Daniel Dulaney of Md.. He
was a British sympathizer, as was his father. He was sent to school
in London. He never returned to America but once after that to visit
his brother who was a friend of George Washington. They rode to the
hounds with George on that visit (Diary of George Washington) Daniel
then returned to London and stayed there. He never married. I do
believe the Daniel Dulaney of Pendleton SC who married Priscilla
White and raised a large family in SC was related to the Maryland
branch. Possibly a son of his brother, Thomas Dulaney, b 1689, and
wife Ann. But that remains to be proven.
