An earlier posting on 17 May 05 had a biography (from a Beers book) for John Maloney b. 1841 Clare, who arrived in Genesee County when there was one other Irish Catholic family there, that of Patrick Dailey. I showed census listings for Maloneys b. Ire in the 1860-70 censuses for Le Roy and Batavia, both in Genesee Co. If this is your Dailey family, you can contact me for information on the renown Batavia woodworking company, for which my Polish immigrant ancestor worked. Sharon Carberry Georgia "Dailey, Michael, was born in County Clare, Ireland, in 1844, and came to the United States in 1852, with his parents, Michael and Sarah Dailey, who settled in Batavia. Mr. Dailey was educated in the Union school and in 1863 engaged in the grocery business, in which he continued several years. He then established business as a furniture dealer and undertaker, which is continued at the present time by Mrs. Dailey. In 1866 Mr. Dailey married Anna, daughter of Daniel and Rosanna Prindie, and five children survive. Anna, Catherine M., Elizabeth, Joseph and Monica. The death of Mr. Dailey, which occurred March 13, 1883, was a loss not only to his family, but to all who knew him, He was public spirited in the best sense of the word, and ever ready to contribute his efforts to the welfare of the community. At the time of his death he was chairman of the Democratic county committee and one of the trustees of the State School for the Blind in Batavia. He had held the office of village trustee and other local positions of honor and trust."
