    JACOB F. DAILEY was born in Lincoln County, N. C., December 3, 1817, and is
a son of Aaron and Mary (Albernathy) Dailey, natives of Ireland and of North
Carolina, respectively. The senior Mr. Dailey came to America with his parents
(about 1795), and settled in Lincoln County, N. C. He was a farmer and also
superintendent of an iron furnace, he reared a family of four sons and three
daughters, and died in 1858 at the age of forty years. His widow survived him
many years, and died at the extreme old age of ninety-six years. She was a
strong and hearty woman up to the time of her death.

    Jacob K. Dailey, our subject, was reared in North Corolina by his uncle,
Miles W. Abernathy; received a common-school education, and at the age of
sixteen years began life as a sailor, which avocation he followed six years, and

Court House, N. C. In 1847, he came to Cross Plains, entered into a general
merchandise business, and continued it with success ever since. His was the
first store erected in this village. In 1849 he purchased several hundred acres
