Mrs. Nelson C. Haskell Amherst Massachusetts
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your request for information relative to Revolutionary War soldiers, David, James and Samuel Dailey, Daley or Daly.
Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims made to the United States for pension and bounty land based on the military service of soldiers in that war. A careful search of the records fails to show such claims on file on account of the service of David and Samuel Daly (searched under all spellings of the surname) who enlisted from New York State.
The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in the pension claim, S. 43465, based on the military service of James Dailey. He signed in person as Daily but was pensioned as Dailey.
James Dailey was born in Cork, Ireland, but the date of his birth and the names of his parents are not shown.
He enlisted in New Milford, Connecticut, May 27, 1777, and served in Captain Eleazer Warner's company in Colonel Heman Swift's Connecticut regiment, was in the battle of Germantown; in August, 1780, he was transferred to the Corps of Sappers and Miners, was at the surrender of Cornwallis and was discharged in June, 1783.
He was allowed pension on his application executed May 7, 1818, at which time he was a resident of Shandaken, Ulster County, New York, and he then stated he was sixty-seven years of age.
In 1820, he was residing in Middletown, Delaware County, New York, and he stated that he was then seventy-six years of age.

In 1820, James Daily stated that his wife, Lydia, was sixty-three years of age. There are no further data relative to family.
