Daniel Doolen,Sr.
from
Ireland
to
Georgia & Kentucky
Daniel DOOLEN, born circa 1765, Ireland. Daniel died 1829/30, Kentucky. He was buried near Mayfield, Graves County, Kentucky, beside his daughter and his son William.
Daniel married Mary BRIDGES, She was born in 1769/1771, North Carolina, daughter of John and Elizabeth BRIDGES. (John Bridges was a soldier in the Revolutionary War.) Mary died 1851, Illinois. Burial in Sandy Branch Cemetery in Section 24 of Foster Township, Marion County, Illinois.
Accompanied by two brothers, William DOOLEN (born 1768), John DOOLEN (born 1769), Daniel came to America before 1789. They settled in Franklin County, Georgia. Their brother, Hardin DOOLEN, came to America circa 1790.
In 1790, Daniel DOOLEN and his brother, John DOOLEN, were living in Franklin County, Georgia. Franklin County was created by a Legislative Act on 23 Feb 1784, from lands that the United States government stole from the Cherokee and Creek Indians. The land was given by Bounty Grants to Veterans of the Revolutionary War. (Not a proud moment in our history.) What was later to become Clarke County was part of Franklin County at the time. The 1790 census is a reconstructed 1790 Census so it is incomplete, which means that Daniel’s other two brothers might have still be living there too.
In 1800, the census shows Daniel DULAN living in Ohio County, Kentucky.
In 1810, the census shows Daniel DOOLIN living in Butler Country, Kentucky. 1 male age 45 and over; 1 female age 26-44; 1 male age 16-25; 1 male age 10-15; 1 male and 3 females under the age of 10.
Later they lived near Mayfield, Graves County, Kentucky.
Daniel, along with his eldest son William, served in the military for the United States Army in the War of 1812, probably with Governor Shelby of Kentucky.
Daniel was said to have owned many slaves. He died in 1829 or 1830 and he was buried near Mayfield, beside his daughter and his son William.
In 1830, the census shows Mary DOOLIN living in Fayette County, Illinois. 1 female age 50-59; 1 male and 1 female ages 15-19.
In 1830, after the death of Daniel, Mary and sons Jesse, Daniel Jr., Murray and others (the widow of William and sisters) moved to Illinois. They settled near the town of Fosterburg, Foster Township, Marion County, Illinois. Murray settled farther north in Macon County, Illinois.
(Edward Rell MADIGAN, Secretary of Agriculture for President George BUSH, is a descendent of Daniel and Mary.)

There were many relatives present. Within a very short time, the newlyweds went to housekeeping on a farm in the North Fork neighborhood.

However, they still own this same farm and Mr. DOOLEN continued to operate it until 1920, batching at the farm and spending weekends in town with his family. Their Golden Anniversary fell on Tuesday of this week. They had planned no celebration, but the children began to write to one another and it was decided that Thanksgiving Day would be a good day to celebrate. Finally, Mother and Dad began to get a letter from first one and then the other stating that they would be at home for Thanksgiving. So Dad jumped out and rustled up a large turkey for dinner. But they knew nothing about a celebration of the Golden Wedding until the children arrived. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. C.W. NEIL of Flint, Mich.; Mr. and Mrs. L.E.

He says: Years ago I would never have dreamed that The Kinmundy Express would have world wide distribution. But it has just that. Mine is getting over here at varied intervals. I never know which week’s paper to expect next. However, I enjoy them immensely and wish to express my appreciation for it. Even though the news is a month and a half old, it doesn’t seem that way to me. I can keep up with the hometown’s progress week by week. For the past couple of months I have been roaming around the little island called England. The whole country has basically the same typography, which is small rolling hills covered with grass or small grain. There are few trees in most parts. The fields are in 5 to 10 acre plots with a hedge fence. It is very pretty when the sun is shining. From above it looks like a pretty patchwork quilt. The people are as friendly as one could expect, when there are so many soldiers around. When you read about blackouts and fogs, they are not exaggerating a bit. I certainly never saw anything so dark as it can get here. Last week was notable for 2 things: I got my laundry back, which is a rarity over here; and the sun shone 1 day, an even greater rarity. At present I am going to school, a never ending process in the army. In another week I will be through and go back to living in the field again. I have no idea where my outfit is at present but will be able to contact them through our base camp. Then I will take my map in hand, catch up with the outfit and go back to my duties as Motor and Executive Officer of my troop. Well this is enough for the present. Keep the paper coming and thanks a lot."
On 12 Oct 1944, the Kinmundy Express has, "1st Lieutenant Roy G. DOOLEN writes: Never before in my life have I put so much work into such a short period of time, as I have in the last couple of months. My outfit has led this race, for Germany such as no outfit but the calvary can do. It has cost many lives, and as I look at the pretty green pine forests concealing the famed ‘Siegfreid Line", I realize it will cost many more lives to go on through to Berlin. But the American Army has pushed forward with such spirit that German troops turn and flee at the sign of them. On their own soil however, the German are a little tougher. My outfit got quite a writeup over here for being the first Americans in Paris. The city is very beautiful and gay in spite of the war. I could write many pages on the interesting things that have happed to me so far, but the same things are happening to thousands of other soldiers. The complete story will come out when we all get home and spin our yards in the old barber shop or on the street corner. I hope that won’t be too long. Your paper hasn’t caught up with me for quite a while. I sure miss it. It keeps me up to date on the home front. Here’s hoping it catches up with me soon. Best of luck to all at home."
On 7 Jun 1945, the Kinmundy Express has, "Mr. and Mrs. G. C. DOOLEN have received word from their son, Roy, stating that he was promoted to the rank of Captain in the Calvary, on 16 May. He is with the Third Army in Germany."

His voluntary undertaking and efficient performance of duties far in excess of those required of him assisted materially in the combat operations of his unit. Capt. DOOLEN’s achievement deserve unqualified praise." Capt. DOOLEN entered military service from Illinois, Jan. 13, 1942, has been overseas since Nov. 4, 1943. His wife, Lela M. DOOLEN who resides near Alma, just received the word that this award was made Aug. 13, 1945 at Dobrany, Czechoslovakia."
On 1 Nov 1945, the Kinmundy Express has, "Capt. Roy DOOLEN arrived home last Saturday to again be with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Cleve DOOLEN and his wife, the former Lela Mae NICHOLS.
