Daniel Maupin Dulany came to Monroe County from Kentucky in 1836 and went into the tobacco business with his brother William.
Daniel was elected sheriff of Monroe County in 1848 and served four years as justice of the County Court. He was a successful businessman and banker as well, but buried three young wives at the Founder's Cemetery in Paris between 1841 and 1853. They share a common headstone in the old cemetery that was once featured in Ripley's Believe It Or Not. In 1856 he married Mrs. Mary (Burgess) Williams, and she gave him his only heir, a daughter named Ida, who was born in Paris September 2, 1858. Without a doubt, Pleasant McCann and Daniel Dulany were part of the same social and business circle in Paris.
After the war Daniel M. Dulany and his brother, William, owned a tobacco business in Quincy, Illinois. In 1867 he moved to Hannibal where he became a member of the lumber firm of Dulany and McVeigh. By 1884 he was vice-president of the Empire Lumber Company, director of a Hannibal bank and president of the Hannibal Board of Trade.
