Daley Family Genealogy Forum
  
Hi Cousin ColeenIt seems like we have corresponded before. Were you at one of the Dailey-Butts reunions in Visalia, CA? My descent from Pardon and Lydia Daley is through their daughter Sarah Daley who was born 10 Sep 1825 in New York, and who married William Moore, 31 March 1850 in Ellenburgh, Clinton Co, NY. She died 21 Feb 1901 in Ceres, Stanislaus Co, CA. Shortly after William and Sarah were married, they moved to the Lake George area of Warren County, New York where they lived for a few years, then came to Ames,Iowa to visit family members, and that was Sarah's brother, James Daley who a little later also moved to California but settled a little farther South of Visalia in the town of Porterville. It is of interst that your ancestor Parisse spelled the name as "Dailey" whereas his brother James, who lived a little farther South, spelled the surname as "Daley". This makes it easier to research the two families years later because you can often separate them with the way they spell their name. My ancestors William and Sarah (Daley) Moore came to California by wagon train in about 1858-1860. They first settled in Sacramento County, but later moved to the Del Puerta Canyon area of Stanislaus County, CA. The father of Pardon Daley is thought to be Samuel Daley, whose wife was Martha and who were residents of Washington Co, NY. He died in 1806 and his occupation was listed as a pathmaster which believe had something to do with building roads. His father was another Pardon Daly who is thought to have been born in Rhode Island. In some early records of Washington Co, NY, he was referred to as a fencesitter, which I believe has something to do with estimating or collecting taxes. I haven't researched this line now in a good many years. I will be anxious to hear from you and find out how you fit into the Parisse Dailey family. I believe there is evidence that Parisse was born in Canada. >
