Family and Legacy
Dulany married twice. By his second wife Rebecca Smith, the daughter of Colonel Walter Smith, he had a large family, not atypical for the time:
- Daniel Dulany the Younger (1722–1797), a noted Maryland Loyalist, Mayor of Annapolis, who played a prominent role in Maryland during the American Revolution.
- Walter Dulany, who would also become Mayor of Annapolis.
- Rebecca
- Rachel
- Mary
- Lloyd
Dulany died on December 5, 1753 in Annapolis. At the time of his death he owned 47,000,000 acres (190,000 km2) of land.
After his death, in 1754, Dulany's first wife Henrietta Maria Dulany appeared before Michael MacNamara, then Deputy Commissioner of Anne Arundel County, seeking to overturn the will of her late husband.

Famous quotes containing the words family and/or legacy:
“Unfortunately, life may sometimes seem unfair to middle children, some of whom feel like an afterthought to a brilliant older sibling and unable to captivate the family’s attention like the darling baby. Yet the middle position offers great training for the real world of lowered expectations, negotiation, and compromise. Middle children who often must break the mold set by an older sibling may thereby learn to challenge family values and seek their own identity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
“What is popularly called fame is nothing but an empty name and a legacy from paganism.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
