Daniel Dulany The Elder - Family and Legacy

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.
