Went to Dakota Territory in 1876 and on 2 June 1876 filed application number 7074 to enter the SE Quarter of Section 30 in Township 106 North of Range 47 West containing 160 acres.

His home, built 10 Nov 1876, was a frame house 12 feet by 28 feet. he dug a well, built a frame stable, broke 90 acres and had raised crops for six seasons at the time of “proving up.”

1880 Moody County SD census shows a 25 year old James Dailey born in Ireland. The 1900 census shows a 46 year old James Dailey in Moody County, but says he was born in New York. That makes me suspect that they immigrated from Ireland to New York in about 1854. The other children were born in Iowa between 1855 and 1879.
