Descendants of Thomas Daly
Generation No. 1
1. THOMAS1 DALY was born 1785 in Ireland, and died Dec 14, 1854 in Mount Morris, Genesee County, Michigan. He married MARY Bef. 1806 in County Meath, Ireland. She was born 1789 in County Meath, Ireland, and died 1841 in Mt. Morris, Genesee County, Michigan.
Notes for THOMAS DALY:
In 1839, Thomas and Mary came to America with their family, landing in Boston. Sometime between 1840 - 1841 Mary died and she is buried in Flint, Michigan. The family had settled on a farm one mile south of Mt. Morris, Michigan, and one mile west on Stanley Road. They lived in a log cabin. It is said that the first mass in the vicinity was held there around the 1850's, according to Mary Jane Hughes, the granddaughter of Thomas Daly. She also tells of the death of Thomas. It goes like this:
One day Thomas was taken sick and wanted a priest. As there were no priest in Mt. Morris or Flint, they sent to Detroit for one. He came a distance of about one hundred miles on horseback. He prepared Thomas for death, and told the family that he might recover, but not to send for the priest again as it was to far to come on horseback. Thomas did recover from that illness; but later took sick again. He called his family together and told them he was going to die, but not to be afraid. He wanted them to bury him in his own yard, as there was no cemetery in Mt Morris or Flint. After his death, his boys dug the grave. Then they went to their neighbor, Mr. Toogood, who had a yoke of oxen. They asked to borrow them to drive to Flint, seven miles away, to get the coffin. Mr. Toogood said, "I can't let you take them as I am afraid of Catholics." So the boys carried the coffin from Flint on their shoulders. They buried their father where he told them, but later, when Calvary Cemetery was established, his body was moved to Flint. His death occurred in December, 1854. (Our Family, by Mrs. T.B. Cosgrave and Mrs. C.L. Callaghen)

4. JOHN C.2 DALY (THOMAS1) was born May 20, 1822 in Kilgeonque, County Meath, Ireland, and died Oct 20, 1906 in Nelson Farm, Columbia, Brown County, South Dakota. He married ELIZABETH BEAHAN Feb 20, 1849 in Flint, Genesee County, Michigan. She was born Jan 17, 1829 in Hector, Tompkins County, New York, and died Nov 05, 1865 in Lima, Adams County, Illinois.
Notes for JOHN C. DALY:
The following is from the book "Our Family, by Mrs. T.B. Cosgrove and Mrs. C.L. Callaghen":
John Daly, son of Thomas and Mary Daly, was born in Kilgeonque, County Meath. He was the fourth of a family of nine children, all of whom were born in Ireland. He never said much about his life in Ireland, but when we read Irish history, we can easily understand why the family decided to come to America.
Reports on the conditions in Ireland at this time tell us that "the people were not only poor; but they were wretchedly poor." The poor had nothing to live on but what they could raise on the land, and the rich lived on the rents which were wrung from the wretchedly poor tenants. It was said that people in the North lived on meal, potatoes and milk; in the South on potatoes and milk; and in the West on potatoes. Between one potato crop and the next, millions were driven to beg on the roads for their food.
Those were the physical conditions which prevailed in Ireland when John Daly was growing up. The political conditions were just as bad. During the seventeenth century, the land was taken from the Irish Catholics and given to Protestants, many of whom came from England. Later, laws were passed, making it impossible for a Catholic to own or acquire land. Any large tracts that were owned by Catholics were given to Anglo-Irish or English Protestants, and laws forbade marriage between Catholics and Protestants. After years of this kind of treatment, Catholics were looked upon as an inferior class by the English, and they themselves came to accept this position of inferiority.
In 1839, when John was seventeen years old, his parents came with the family to America, landing at Boston. There were Thomas and Mary, the parents; Jane, the eldest daughter, then about 32, accompanied by her husband, Patrick Coan and two sons, William and Patrick; Patrick, aged about 30; Matthew, 29: John, 17: Thomas, 16, Christopher, 15: Lawrence, 10: Mary, 7; and Michael, 6. We do not know how long they stayed in Boston, but soon after their arrival, Lawrence died and is buried in Boston. Sometime later Jane's husband was accidentally shot by someone playing a practical joke with a supposedly unloaded shotgun.
Mary, the mother died in 1841 and buried in Flint, Michigan, so it is likely that they moved there in 1840 or 1841. They settled on a farm one mile south of Mt. Morris, and one mile east on the Stanley road, living in log cabin. The first Mass in the vicinity was said in this log house sometime around 1850, as related by Mary Jane Hughes, a grand-daughter of Thomas Daly. She is also the authority for the story of Thomas' death which follows:
One day Thomas was taken sick and wanted a priest. As there was no priest in Mt. Morris or Flint, they sent to Detroit for one. He came a distance of about one hundred miles on horseback. He prepared Thomas for death, and told the family that he might recover, but not to send for a priest again as it was too far to come on horseback. Thomas did recover from that illness; but later, taken sick again, he called his family together and told them that he was going to die, but not to be afraid, to bury him in his own yard, as there was no cemetery in Mt. Morris or Flint. After his death, his boys dug the grave, then went to a neighbor, Mr. Toogood, who had a yoke of oxen. They asked to borrow them to drive to Flint, seven miles away, to get the coffin. Mr. Toogood said "I can't let you take them, because I am afraid of Catholics." So the boys
carried the coffin from Flint on their shoulders. They buried their father where he had told them, but later when Calvary Cemetery was established, his body was moved to Flint. His death occurred in December, 1854.
On February 20, 1849, John was married to Elizabeth Beahan, daughter of Matthew Beahan and Mary "Polly" Faussett. She was born in North Hector, New York and came with her parents, probably in the middle 1840's to live on a farm about two miles north of Flint. The Buick factory site later reached this farm.
After their marriage, John and Elizabeth lived for about seven years on a farm two miles southeast of her home. Four children were born to them there: Linus, in 1850; George Beahan in 1852, Mary Florence in 1854, and Julia Helen in 1856. Late in 1856 they moved to Clark County, Missouri, where they settled in a little town then known as Santa Fe. It was later renamed St. Mary's, but is not in existence today, according to Secretary of State of Missouri, unless it is now the town of St. Patrick. There John went into partnership with a man named Elwood in a grocery store.
Slavery was a burning question at this time, especially in Missouri; it being the most northern state in the Louisiana Territory in which slavery was allowed. The Missouri Compromise "forever prohibited slavery or involuntary servitude" in any other state or the territory north of the south boundary of Missouri, but this was upset by the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854; and in 1857 the Dred Scott decision of the Supreme Court killed the Missouri Compromise. Looking at these dates, we can imagine how hot the political arguments were in that state at the very time when the Daly family settled there.
John's partner, Mr. Elwood, was a sincere abolitionist, who evidently talked too much and to the wrong people. One night he was taken out by a mob and hanged in his own orchard. Soon after this the store failed, and John Daly moved his family across the river to Lima, Illinois, where he ran a wood-yard during the later years of the Civil War.
In "Life on the Mississippi", Mark Twain says: "Mississippi steam boating was born about 1812. At the end of thirty years it had grown to mighty proportions, and in less than thirty years more it was dead! Alas, for the wood-yard man! He used to fringe the river all the way; his close-ranked merchandise stretched from one city to the other along the banks, and he sold uncountable cords of it every year for cash on the nail; but all the scattering boats that are left burn coal now, and the least seldom spectacle on the river now is a wood-pile. Where now is the one wood-yard man?"
During the time the family lived in Missouri, the three youngest children were born; John Charles in 1858, Edward in 1860, and Austin in 1862, on November 5. Just three years later, on November 5, 1865, Elizabeth died in Lima, Illinois. Soon after her death, the family returned to Michigan, where they went back to the Matthew Beahan farm where Elizabeth's mother still lived. Her father had died sometime before.
We have little record of the time between 1865 and 1880, but this next few years must have been a difficult time for John Daly. Just two years after their return to Michigan, Linus bled to death as a result of an accident with a pitch-fork in the hayfield. Shortly afterwards the grandmother, Mary Beahan, died.
Florence and Julia were married in Flint, Florence to Theodore George and Julia to John Nelson.
In 1880, John and his four sons, George, John, Edward and Austin went with J. D. Lavin to Watertown, Dakota Territory, which was then the end of the railroad. There they bought a team and light wagon, and drove to Columbia. George filed on pre-emption claim two miles east of Columbia, but in order to get a tract large enough so that they could all have their farms adjoining, they had to go seven miles north and east of Columbia, where they located their land as shown on the sketch-map. In order to file on the land, they drove overland to Jamestown, the nearest point of the N. P. railroad, and took the train to Fargo, the land office for the district. They filed on the land on April 9, 1880. Many other Flint people, including Charles C. Beahan, brother of Elizabeth, took land nearby.
Julia and her family came out later and lived nearby on different places, until they bought their own place three miles southwest of her father's farm. Florence was the only one who remained in Michigan. After living on his claim for a few years, Eddie sold his land to Alex McFarlin and returned to Michigan, where he spent the rest of his life.
John Daly was troubled with asthma all his life, which was probably the cause of his being very stoop-shouldered. He made many trips back to Michigan during the winters, possible for his health, and to visit relatives. After a few years in Dakota, he thought his asthma was cured and he persuaded his sister, Mary Hughes, who also suffered with asthma, to visit him there. She came out with Chris. Daly's family and stayed for a bout a year; but the houses were cold, being newly built of green lumber, and she returned to Michigan.
John's sons, George and Johnnie, married Hannah and Minnie Sullivan,
daughters of Thomas Sullivan, whose family, also from Flint had homestead nearby.
Eddie and his father "batched" together until Eddie returned to Michigan. Frank Daly, son of Chris, says of John, "He was a real good cook. He was a good shot, too. He could drive along and shoot a rabbit right over the horse's head."
Austin worked in Columbia, part of the time as turnkey at the Columbia jail. His cousin, Chris's daughter Julia, says of him, "He was a handsome lad, too. He went out on a call one night, whether social or business, I can't remember, and was never seen again. His death was very hard on Uncle John. "
In his later years, John was not able to work his farm, but he always raised a large garden, and drove around the country selling vegetables, with a single buggy and his little black horse, "Billy". Part of this time he lived with his son Johnnie or his daughter Julia, in their homes.
In the late 1890's his son George built a small one-room house for him, just east of George's house and attached to it. Here he kept house and did most of his own cooking. George always took him his oatmeal ready cooked for breakfast every morning. Up until the last years of his life he kept a garden in some part of one farm or another. His grandchildren used to make spending money pulling weeds in his garden. He always enjoyed reading the newspapers, visiting with friends and relatives and playing "Pedro" with his grandsons in the evenings.
After living in the little house for a few years, he had it moved across the road on the corner of George's tree-claim, under the cotton-wood trees. Possibly the fact that there were thirteen children in George's family had some influence on his decision to move to a more quiet spot. A year or more before his death, he had become very feeble, and Julia persuaded him to have his house moved to her farm, where she could look after him, and there, on October 20, 1906, he died at the age of eighty-four years.
When John left Flint, his brothers Chris and Mike also left for Dakota. Chris took a carload of lumber and a carload of furniture, cattle and grain to Miller, South Dakota. The grain bags were stenciled, "Dakota or bust." Julia, his wife, and seven children came out after he had built a house. Three daughters, Mary Alice, Margaret and Elizabeth, had married and remained in Michigan. It was Chris' intention to buy a large tract of land which he could divide into farms for his sons. but the boys were not farmers; they went into other lines of work. After a few years in Miller, he moved his family to J. D. Lavin's place to be near his brother John. They lived there for about two years, but after a crop failure went back to Miller. Chris then tried raising thoroughbred cattle at Miller, but after a number of bad years he lost everything and went back to Michigan, where he died in 1916 in Mt. Morris.
Mike with his wife Elizabeth Carney, and six children lived at Zell, South Dakota for several years. It was here during a blizzard in 1890 that his daughter Rosie was lost in the storm and froze to death. She had come home from Watertown where she worked, and had started to walk two miles from the station when the sudden storm overtook her. The family left Dakota soon after this and went, finally to Billings, Montana, where Mike died in 1903.
Patrick, the second in the family, was married and lived in Mt. Morris township, where he owned a great many acres of land.
Of Matthew and Thomas we have no record, except that George Daly
said that they died childless.
Mary married Edward Hughes in Mt. Morris. About 1852 her brother Mike and her husband built a hotel at Polliwog Corner, where a toll-gate was located on the plank road. Mary and Edward Hughes ran the hotel. Their first three children were born there. Later they ran a general store in Mt. Morris. Mary died in Mt. Morris about 1884.

Notes for GEORGE BEAHAN DALY:
From the family history by Adelaide Callaghan and Georgie Cosgrave: pages
21 to 27
"George Beahan Daly, second son of John Daly and Elizabeth Bahn Daly, was born on September 30, 1852. Michigan was then a pioneer state and the family lived on a farm two miles southeast of the town of Flint. The city of Flint has long since spread out over that farm site.
His father John Daly, had come from Co. Meath, Ireland about fourteen years before with his parents, brothers and sisters and had settled near Mount Morris. The wife, Elizabeth family had come a year or two earlier from Seneca County, New York state. Her sister Mary, Mrs. Andrew McDowell, came to live in Flushing County. She told her grandchildren about coming to Michigan. It was 1845 and they traveled by train to Pontiac, then to Flint by covered wagon. Their home was a log cabin without windows. She helped her husband with all the work so he could clear the land for farming. The oldest of the two small children, Jane was walking and when Mary milked the cows, with a smudge burning to keep the mosquitoes away she had to tie Jane to the bedpost to keep her out of the fire.
In the fall of 1856 John took his family to Clark County, Missouri, to a town called Santa Fe, but later re-named St. Mary. By then the family consisted of Linus, George, Florence and Julia, the baby. John ran a grocery store with a man named Elwood who talked a lot against slavery and one morning was found hanged in his own orchard.
After this tragedy the Dalys moved down the river and across to the Illinois side and started a wood yard. There were many steamboats carrying immigrants from the old country up into the Mississippi valley to make new homes. These boats used wood for fuel and as they could carry only a day's supply there had to be many wood yards along the river. The wood was cut in four foot lengths and piled eight feet high and long enough so there were twenty cords to a pile if honestly piled. This was the country where Mark Twain lived and here is a paragraph from Huckleberry Finn which well describes the scene and life there at that time: "Then we set down - and watched the daylight come. The first thing to see looking away over the water, was a kind of dull line - that was the woods on the other side - you couldn't make anything else out; then a pale place in the sky; then more paleness, spreading around - and the
east reddens up, and the river, and you make out a log cabin in the edge of the woods, away on the bank on the other side of the river, being a wood yard, likely, and piled by them cheats so you can throw a dog thru it anywheres".
This was before the railroads took away the business from the steamboats. George never forgot the thrill of hearing the steamboat coming and in later life he often mentioned his life on the Mississippi when he heard the steamboat whistle that the trains used. It must have been hard for those boys, living in such a lonely place, to see those boats going by and never to get to ride on them.
During the election campaign of 1860 when George was eight years old he heard people say that if Lincoln were elected it would mean there would be war; later when he heard that Lincoln was elected he went out behind the woodpile and cried.
They ran their wood yard thru the later years of the Civil War and used to see hospital ships pass, carrying wounded soldiers. These ships were painted red and were never fired upon. Once one landed near their wood yard and the crew buried a Southern soldier who had died on the boat.
George V. Beahan, for whom George Daly was named, had planned to send George to school and had put money for that purpose, in a bank in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The bank failed and the money was lost. In February 1865 George V. Beahan was killed in a logging accident. His family decided to carry out his wishes in regard to George Daly's education, so George came back, alone, that summer, to Michigan. He was thirteen years old. In December of the same summer, George's mother died in Lima, Illinois and the rest of the family came back to Flint with the three boys, John, Edward and Austin, who had been born in Missouri.
George stayed at the home of the grandmother, Polly Beahan, and walked to school in Flint, a distance of several miles. At that time the approved way of becoming a lawyer was to go into the office of a lawyer and "read" law. So after high school, George went into the office of Wm. Durant who was mayor of Flint and Congressman and finally Judge of the Supreme Court.
George taught school in the winter and studied law in the summer. He was admitted to the bar in the state of Michigan at the age of twenty, and practiced law there for about six years. He walked for recreation, and one summer he and a companion made a walking tour of part of Michigan - sometimes sleeping in the open and working a little on farms here and there.
Once after George Beahan's death his mother invited George Daly to select something from George Beahan's possessions for his own. George chose the walnut book-case and used it the rest of his life. After his death his oldest son, Alex took it to his home and in 1944 it was burned when the house burned down. It had a row of "pigeon holes" across the top of the desk and here many interesting old letters were preserved, and they were not in it when it burned.
In October 1876 George went to the Centennial and to see New York. He told in a letter of going thru Watkins Glen, New York, and stopping to see a cousin, Thomas Beahan, that he had known in Michigan. They went to call on the Hugh Carney family and stayed to supper and visited so long he missed his train and had to take the train the next morning. He was glad of the chance to get acquainted with his cousins and also to ride thru Pennsylvania in the daytime. Fifty years afterwards the main thing he remembered were the two little dark-eyed Carney girls.
In 1880 at the age of twenty-seven George and his brother John came to Dakota with J. D. Lavin and others. They came to Watertown by train. As that was the end of the line, they bought a team and a light wagon and drove to Columbia. There they selected their claims and drove to Jamestown, the end of the Northern Pacific Railroad. There they took the train to Fargo where the land office was located and filed on their land.
George took his preemption quarter one mile north and one mile east of Columbia. Later the same year their father, John and brothers Eddie and Austin came to take land and in order to get adjoining land they had to go seven miles northeast of town. That area is now known as Daly Corners and the third generation is growing up there.
An old diary with the first entry "March 20, 1880: Card gave me this diary today", was a parting gift when George was leaving Michigan. Entries thru the same spring tell of planting potatoes, beans and corn and of working for a neighbor at building a sod house. The June 15th is "Worked first day on my sod house", and on June 28th "Father Haire came". In July he mentions his father and Austin hoeing harrowing in the bagas.
That summer he and a man named Hemenger walked to Fargo. He wrote "Slept in the sand hills, or rather, tried to but couldn't on account of the mosquitoes. Horrible night." When they got to Fargo they went to work by the day at haying and harvesting; later at plowing and threshing. In October George was teaching school on the Cheyenne River. He mentioned gathering tree seeds and sending sacks of them to people in Columbia.
George brought into the county the first copy of territorial laws seen here and it was he who drafted the petition for the organization of the county. Several letters from J. D. Lavin and Johnnie Daly tell of the fight to keep the county seat in Columbia and then of their great satisfaction when Columbia won the election. One of Lavin's letters says "By unanimous vote of the county commissioners in session Sept. 4th, 1880 you were appointed Probate Judge of Brown County to serve till the next election".
Columbia was growing fast and her people had great hopes and plans for her future. People got quite excited over whether or not a power dam on the river would stop navigation. They hadn't learned how the "Jim" could slow down and become only a series of small ponds for months at the time.
Johnnie wrote of the difficulty of hiring help to work with team, hauling corn etc. In one letter he says "I dug your potatoes and put them in your house. If it begins to get cold I will dig a hole in the house and put them in it." Then he tells that Sullivan and Lynch had left some of their potatoes out and had them frozen. This was the Sullivan who was to be their father-in-law.
Another letter said " I bought two yoke of oxen, wagon, plow and all picket rope belonging to them, of George Stevens for two hundred twenty-five dollars. I don't know what you will think but I thought I couldn't better it. He was offered one hundred and twenty-five for one yoke of them. The other yoke are younger and smaller, about like Elliot's oxen." Then he tells of giving up his trip to Michigan to save the sixty dollar train fare and also to be on his claim so it wouldn't be
"jumped". He planned to dig a well and to put a partition in the sod house so he could keep the oxen in one end of it. This was a common practice in those days so a man would be in no danger of getting lost while going to care for stock. There were no fences or trees for landmarks. He ended the letter: "Wont I have a lonesome old time? Send me all the papers you can get hold of."
This plan all seem to have changed as a letter Lavin, a little later states that Johnnie left for Flint shortly after election. Then a letter headed "Marshall, Minn. Mar. 27th " tells that Johnnie and John Meenan and Kanaly started out with their oxen but have come back. He says "This is the best place to wait for the snow to go off - have plenty of everything here to eat.& I think the farther west you go the scarcer you find provisions". Then he warns George to bring along provisions, in case he gets to the claim first.
George's diary entry for May 4th is: "Got home about 3 o'clock". Thru the rest of the month the entries are of planting trees, potatoes, onions wheat and corn.
He taught the first school in Columbia which was probably the years 1882 and 1883. The school was on the hill east of Columbia where the Catholic cemetery is now and there many of these pioneers are now buried: F. Haire, the Kanaleys, Sullivans, Murphys, George and Johnnie Daly, their father and many others.
The summer of 1883 the Sullivans came back from Michigan and stayed with the Dalys till they had their own frame house built. That summer the Dalys moved to their own permanent homes and the next February Johnnie married Minnie Sullivan and the next September George married her sister Hannah. The two couples lived side by side till about 1906 when Johnnie and Minnie moved to Aberdeen and turned the farming over to their boys. George and Hannah lived in this home the rest of their lives and here raised their thirteen children. Thru the years they turned the bare prairie to a grove of trees and had nearly every variety of tree that will grow in the northern climate. The evergreens of six or seven kinds, were a landmark for the county for years. It was the only large number of them in many miles. All the Daly claims had large groves and they joined in one continuous grove, making this a center for picnics and social affairs and a meeting place for discussion of politics and farm problems.
George was among the first to try new, drought-resistant shrubs and crops. They got a hive of bees and Hannah enjoyed working with them. She often had honey to sell and give to people. Usually she had a dozen or more hives in operation the rest of her life.
Thru the first years of poor crops of complete failures many friends and neighbors gave up and went back east. it was probably because the Dalys lived near together and shared work and tools that they survived the bad years. Among George's old papers were the beginning of a poem;
"Oh autumn, erst so lavish,
Why so empty-handed come?
Is there naught in your horn of plenty
To gladden our prairie home?"
In the first legislature of South Dakota in 1891, and again in 1897, George was a Representative. A friend of his, Herbert Cronin, said of him: "He was a politician in the best sense of the word: Not merely to secure office but to advance the ideas and reforms which he believed to the advantage of all."
A strong believer in cooperation he helped organize the Groton Ferney Telephone Company, The Brown County Mutual Insurance Company, Columbia Farmer's Elevator and the Tacoma Park Association of which he was president for thirteen years. This latter was not only for a pleasure resort but as a center for the discussion of social and political reform. Here they had a cautauqua for a week, each year. People came from all over the county and camped for the week. There were lectures by such celebrities as B. J. Bryan, Hobson, Carrie Nation and Robert LaFollette. There were ball games and at night, there were plays put on by the stock company that was encamped there. That one week was the high spot of the year for hundreds of young people. The Dalys nearly
always camped, even when there was a small baby.
About the year 1905 George bought the Pioneer Sentinel, a weekly newspaper in Aberdeen, changed the name to Aberdeen Democrat and edited
it for several years, staying in town thru the week and going home weekends. His son Francis worked with him for a year or two. Searle Brothers finally bought the paper and George went back to the farm. Shortly after that he began teaching the home school. A great reader, he saw to it that his family were always well supplied with worth while reading material and while he ran the paper, he would bring home books from the library. He read many books aloud to the family in the evenings. He liked poetry and wrote poems. Some were published in Pasque Petals and Braithwaite's Anthology of American Poetry. The last years of his life he was telling, in poetry, the story of the pioneering
of his great-grandparents, George and Polly Faussett. His eyesight failed him and he never finished it.
Sept. 26, 1932 Hannah wrote: "Our radio is working good now. Papa watches for the news every day. He cant see to read so has to get the news mostly from the radio. I read the papers to him but he gets more satisfaction with radio. We sat up almost all night the night of the Democrat convention."
Hannah died of a heart ailment November 7th, 1932. George lived on with his son Dick at the home place. He always liked to walk. In January he caught a cold and decided to "walk it off". He called on a neighbor a half mile away, but the cold got worse and developed into pneumonia. The family took him to the hospital in Britton but his condition became worse and on January 18th he passed away.
