Thank you so so much and I hope and pray you have some kind of info for me. If you can scan your paperwork or pictures let me know. My email address is rhonda.dial@yahoo.com Thank you, Rhonda

Re: Dail family in Mississippi

bundruma — 2009-08-17 13:27:43Z

I will take any info you have and see if it matches anything I have. However, I have very little. I can't find anything on any censuses. I believe that is because their last name was spelled different every time.

Re: Dials in TN

rhondadial2 — 2009-08-16 23:18:56Z

I think I have already responded to your email but if not please help me by telling me if you have a Henry Allen Dial listed and I was told he was born in N.C or Ga. and it would have been around 1850-1865 or so. He also lived in Mississippi and later in Alabama. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you, Rhonda

Re: Dail family in Mississippi

rhondadial2 — 2009-08-16 23:03:33Z

My great grandfather Henry Allen Dial was living in Mississipi
around that time. My grandfather was born in Boone, Ms. but I know they also lived in other places in Mississippi. Do you think there is a connection because I can find out more information and send it to you too? Our last name was spelled Dial but I've been told the Dail and Dial family is the same family.

Re: Dials in TN

rhondadial2 — 2009-08-16 22:56:25Z

Hi, I have read that my great grandfather Henry Allen Dial was from North Carolina. He would have been born somewhere between 1850 and 1865. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Rhonda

Re: Dials in TN

rhondadial2 — 2009-08-16 22:53:34Z

Is there any way you could check to see if you have a Henry Allen Dial listed among the relatives. He was my great grandfather and my grandfather was William Richard Dial

lesviolin — 2009-08-11 19:15:52Z

Oh my gosh, wouldn't it be nice it someone would just say what they know??
Sometimes this stuff can be so frustrating. My mom was pretty secretive about her past and would not really tell us where she was or what she was doing between the time she lived in Fayetteville as a girl and married my dad in 1946. It wasn't until I was in my teens that it finally came out she had been married before my dad, she was of the opinion that children didn't need to know about their parents. I guess a lot of the older generation feel that way. I'm just really curious though, especially about this Cherokee stuff.

Re: Dails of Cumberland Co., NC (Wade/Fayetteville area)

blueskync — 2009-08-11 19:06:36Z

Seen questions asked along the way, but never any answers. The older folks either "don't remember" or "never heard anything about that". There's bound to be someone somewhere who knows something.

Would your husband's father be Gary? Gary and I would be 3rd cousins, although we've never met. Henry S. and Sarah Ann (Martin) Dail are buried in unmarked graves at Camp Ground United Methodist Church Cemetery in Fayetteville, N.C. My late mother knew where. A first cousin of my mom tried to locate the graves, but couldn't remember where they were. (I need proof to place markers there.) I asked that cousin whether she had heard of Cherokee blood in the Dail line. Her mother told her "Don't ask. Don't tell." Thanks to my mom, I have all the names of Henry and Sarah's children, as well as their birth dates. My mom did much research, but could not connect Henry to other Dails in the Cumberland County area. There was a rumor that they came from Greene County, N.C. I found a Henry S. Dail in the Confederate army, but do not know whether he is our Henry. There are also deeds in the Cumberland County Courthouse with Henry's name.

Albert Thomas Herring wasn't married to Delphie Jane. He was first married to Minnie Maultsby and later to Sara Herring. Albert and Minnie had 5 children but only 3 survived to adulthood. My mom, Aileen Herring, was one of them.

Re: Dails of Cumberland Co., NC (Wade/Fayetteville area)

lesviolin — 2009-08-11 17:26:30Z

I'm descended from Henry S. Dail. His daughter Delphie Jane was married to my g grandfather, Lucien Gaston Herring. This is that Herring line that was in Isle of Wight Virginia before they came to NC.
Any of you ever hear of Cherokee blood in the family?

Re: Dails of Cumberland Co., NC (Wade/Fayetteville area)

blueskync — 2009-06-02 17:02:04Z

Yes, my husband is a Dail from Wade, NC, descended from Henry S. Dail. I've also seen items that show Henry to be a/k/a Hillory/Hillery S. Dail/Deal. (It just depended on who wrote down the info.) He would have been his great-great-great grandfather.

Thanks so much. Let me know if you find anything.

There is only one match to my brother's mtdna so far...not enough to help yet. There are Dail descendants in the Wade area of Cumberland County, NC. I have not contacted them yet, but they have the same ancestor as I do. That would be Henry S. Dail. Are you descended from that line also? If I find out more, I will email you.

Re: Dail Family

Doris_Bohall — 2009-03-24 22:41:18Z

According to the Death Cedrtificate of Albert Thomas Herring his wife was Mrs. Sara Herring. His mother was Delphia Jane Dale and his father was Lucian Gaston Herring. So how could your grandfater be married to your great-grandmother Delphia?

In 1850 Greene Co NC, Household 226-226 there was a Henry S. Dail age 66 and Delpha maybe his daughter age 34. The Delphia Jane Dail who married Lucian Gaston Herring must have been another Delphia Born August 4, 1853, her father was Henry Dale and mother Sallie Martin.

I would like to know who the Henry S and Delpha living in Greene Co belong to.

Re: Dail Family

lesviolin — 2008-10-23 21:10:31Z

I have had other relatives say similar things about the reactions of older folks. My grandfather Albert Thomas Herring was married to Delphie Jane Dail, Henry S. Dail's daughter. My mom always told us her dad used to say "That Delphie Jane was a real red Indian"(sorry for the political incorrectness) My mom was olive skinned, dark hair and eyes and I am often taken for Native American. I really wish someone would tell us, it's probably a great story!

So I did look at my chart here (which needs some cleaning up) and didn't find Abel's wife or parents, However a google search turned this up, http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~paday/dobb...
mentioning Able and wife plus her parents. The spelling of the last name varies but it's got to be that family I think.Also interesting is the family's involvement with the Herrings, Abel's grand-daughter married a Herring.

Re: Dail Family

I am currently trying to reactivate my membership here hoping my chart I had done is still here - hopefully I can do that and will see what I have on Abel.
My big question on the family is whether or not my grandfather's claim that his mother, Delphie Jane Dail, who was one if Hillery S or Henry S Dail's daughter, was of Cherokee ancestry
Anyone know anything about this?
Thanks Leslie

I had some info that Abel Dail or Dale, was the father of Henry S. (or Hillory as he sometimes is called) - Hanry's wife was Sarah "Sallie" Martin and their daughter Delphie Jane was my ggrandmom. Are these folks related to any of you all?

You are the third person I know of who has been told to leave the Cherokee question alone......That's the kind of thing which just makes me want to know even more. I have posted to a few of the county boards and also my grandfather's name Herring, board, asking if anyone knows anything about this whole issue. It's starting to seem like a historical romance novel with the intrigue. I will definitely keep you all in the loop!

I am trying to find out more about Henry S Dail who was born in Greene County around 1828. He was married to Sarah Ann Martin. I can't seem to find out who his parents were. One of his daughters, Delphie Jane, was my g-grandmother. There is a family story by her son Albert Herring (my grandfather) that Delphie was Cherokee -

William Henry Dail was my great grandfather. He had 2 sons, Reubin Cecil Dail, and James Cecil Dail.

I have very vague memories of his home on Hwy 13 in Wade, NC. All I remember are a matched set of white mules he owned that he still plowed with.

Re: Dails of Cumberland Co., NC (Wade/Fayetteville area)

Dracho|MA490421 — 2008-09-03 03:03:36Z

On the Dail vs. Dale thing, I've hear a couple of stories.

#1 - the name was originally Daily and the Y was dropped when they came over. I doubt this because the Dails were in the US long before the Irish immigrations, and are probably (like most original Southern Whites) of Scots-Irish origin.

#2 - The literacy rate wasn't spectacular in those days and someone found the word "Dail" in the dictionary and was told to spell their name that way so that it could be copied from the dictionary when needed for documents, etc. I tend to lean toward this theory.

I'm also descended from Cecil Wallace Dail and Reuben Dail. Reubin Dail married Pauline Averitte, which is another common surname in the region.

William Dale b: 1844 TN m Nancy b: 1838 VA, abt 1867.

Breggie — 2008-10-21 16:01:43Z

My great grandmother, Elizabeth W. Dail Buie was sister to William Henry Dail. Bob Herring, descendant of Delphia Jane Dail Herring was a neighbor of my maternal grandmother, Frances Buie Thigpen. I have met Jerry Dale, a descendant of William and Elizabeth's sister, Sarah Ann Dail. Some of Sarah Ann's descendants were also our neighbors. I did not know that they were all cousins until recent research. Our branch changed the spelling to Dale. It is a name carried on in some of the grandchildren's middle names. I have a home in Hope Mills and would like to share with other Dail/Dale cousins what information I have. Maybe we could arrange a get-together. My brother is having his MtDNA tested. Maybe that will give us a clue into Sarah Martin Dail's background.

Re: Dails of Cumberland Co., NC (Wade/Fayetteville area)

Breggie — 2007-05-07 17:19:41Z

Within the last few years I discovered that our neighbor, Bob Herring, and his family were actually related to my family. My mom kept family obituaries and was our family historian. I've pieced a few things together. My great grandmother, Elizabeth Dail Buie was Delphia Jane Dail's sister. Jerry Dale, another cousin I met in 2000, is descended from their sister, Sarah Ann. I recently asked a first cousin of my mom whether she had heard anything about there being Cherokee blood in the family. She said she had, but was told to "let sleeping dogs lie". Jerry and I would be interested in knowing the results should you do the DNA testing. I'm hoping my brother can remember where Henry and Sarah are buried at Campground UMC, so we can get markers for them.

Re: Dails of Cumberland Co., NC (Wade/Fayetteville area)

Breggie — 2007-05-09 16:02:24Z

I am looking for info on any Dail family that might have come to MS. My ggg grandmother was Joanna "Anna" Elizabeth Dail born in 1862 in Lawshill or Abbeyville, MS in . She was strict about how her last name was spelled "DAIL". She married Nov 28, 1878 in Desoto Co., MS to William Charles Clark. Any help would be appreciated.

carolynchappellnelson — 2008-10-25 22:20:04Z

Wondering if anyone has info on any of the following:
William Henry Chappell (Bill or Billy) md. Esther Dail in 1898 Chowan or Perquimans. Esther was the daughter of John Bartlett Dail and Sarah Elizabeth Lane. Their marriage record says Wm. Henry Chappell's parents were Henry Chappell and Keziah Elliott. I have found their marriage in 1850 Perquimans...just transcribed. Does anyone know if it's worth the trip to Salt Lake to view the film of this record, or did they give parents names as early as 1850?

I'm seeking the parents of Henry Chappell, Kesiah Elliott, and Sarah Elizabeth Lane. John Bartlett Dail and Elizabeth Lane were also married in 1850, Perquimans.

If anyone can give me good guidance on any of these, and I do go to SLC to read films, I would be happy to do a few lookups on films for you while I'm there. It's less than an hour away, but gas prices and parking are not the greatest these days. Guess I shouldn't complain.
Thanks for any tips you can give me.

Tell me about it. I have 2 children. One is very fair skinned like me, the other has more of an olive complexion with dark brown eyes as well. During the summer she can have a full tan in one afternnon while using 30 spf!! It's really neat to see how genetics bounce around in a family, because my husband doesn't have the same coloring as our daughter, yet it comes out in her. That was one of our reasons for asking around, however, the internet has been our only source of info. Maybe one day we'll find someone willing to talk!

Re: Dail Family

blueskync — 2008-10-23 16:23:37Z

I don't have anything on that. I do know that the older folks in this family are very hush hush about something. When asked questions about ancestry, they either flare up and refuse to speak, or they act as if they don't know anything. I've had both things happen. Obviously when folks hide something, that makes us want to know all the more.

If you find out anything, please let me know. :)

Re: Dail Family

blueskync — 2008-10-23 16:19:25Z

Thank you so much! That spelling would make sense. Per the Cumberland Co., marriage docs there was a marriage for Hillery Deal and Sarah Martin for 1850, which in other documents shows that they are Henry S. and Sallie Dale/Dail. That shows a link!

Just saw your message - my father was Milton Dail from NC. His line comes from Elbert Melton Dail whose grandfather was a James Dail from Wayne Co. NC thought to be the son of Abel Dail or Thomas Dail from what was then Dobbs County. They were thought to be in Tenn. in the 1800's. Wonder if these are the same lines? If you have a male Dail who would donate DNA to familytree DNA we could prove that. My late father donated his. Only male YDNA with the Dail/Deal surname should be contributed.
