All of us “Dailey Cousins” are from one of the children
born to Charles Dailey and Philomena ‘Minnie’ Margaret Mathias. As one
can imagine the name Dailey can be found spelled many ways, and sometimes on
the same document. My dad, Martin John Dailey, said he heard the family is of
Irish and German ancestry. There is plenty of documentation of the German
ancestry, but I have not found anything to support the Irish ancestry legend.
My dad, Martin, didn’t remember his dad Charles that well because he died when my dad was very young. From Census records I have found Charles, as well as his father Joseph, were Carriage Makers/Woodworkers. Long after my dad died my mom, Martha, showed me an old wooden box in the basement that was full of old wood working tools. Mom said dad told her they belonged to his dad.

Philomena "Minnie" Margaret Mathias Dailey as most of us remember her.
Charles Dailey was born 10 April 1866 in Chillicothe, Ross
County, Ohio to Joseph & Elizabeth Dailey. Minnie Mathias Dailey was born 25 November 1874
in Chillicothe, Ross County, Ohio to John and Margaret Mathias. Charles
and Minnie were married in Chillicothe 15 May 1892 by Reverend J. C. Cupp.
Together they had 6, possibly 7, children who were all born in Ross County,
Ohio except the youngest who was born in Summit County, Ohio.
