The children of John Dale by his second wife, Margaret (or Peggy) can be constructed from the 1851 Census Record of the household of a Margaret Dale in Droagh:
Mary Dale was born about 1826 and at the time of the 1851 Census was a house servant somewhere in County Antrim. Note that a Mary Dale, daughter of John Dale, was married in Cairncastle on Dec.16, 1853, to James McConnell, son of John McConnell.
Robert Dale was born about 1828 and died of bleeding of the nose in 1847 (see 1851 Census).

Abraham (or James) Dale was born about 1831 and is listed as an unmarried 20-year-old labourer living with his mother in Draagh, County Antrim, in the 1851 Census. Abraham emigrated to the USA leaving from Liverpool and Queenstown, Ireland, at the age of 22 and arriving in New York on Apr.12, 1853. On Apr.21, 1857, Abraham Dale was married to Martha Crawford in the Charles Street United Presbyterian Church in New York City. The witnesses were Robert McGinn and Esther McGinn. In July 1863 Abraham Dale, married, is living at West 19th Street, New York, and registered for the Civil War Draft as a 32-year-old indigo worker. On Oct.23, 1868, Abraham Dale of 332 West Street, New York City, and formerly a citizen of the United Kingdom, applied for naturalization as a US citizen (John Carroll was his witness). In the 1867 and 1868 New York City directories, Abraham Dale is listed as a clerk resident at 110 West 18th Street. In the 1870 Federal Census, 36-year-old Abraham Daile, a porter born in Ireland, and his 38-year-old wife Martha, also born in Ireland, are listed as living in New York Ward 16, District 4, with their two children listed below. In the 1879 directory, Abraham Dale is listed as a porter resident at 261 Seventh Avenue, New York. In the 1880 directory, Abraham Dale is listed as a driver resident at 251 Seventh Avenue, New York. The children of Abraham and Martha: William Dale was born about 1859 in New York and, in the 1870 Federal Census is listed as a 10-year-old living with his parents in New York Ward 16, District 4. Mary Dale was born about 1865 in New York and, in the 1870 Federal Census is listed as a 4-year-old living with her parents in New York Ward 16, District 4.

Jane Dale was born about 1833 and is listed as an unmarried daughter living with her mother in the 1851 Census. One of the other enigmatic pieces of information on Letitia is the tradition that one of Letitia's sisters was the grandmother of John Crawford, ``The Hollow, Islandmagee. Jane may be that sister.
Daniel Dale was born about 1836. He is listed in the 1851 Census as a 15-year-old attending Mr. Robinson's school. Daniel was married in Jun.1880 in the Larne registration district to a woman named Ann. The Carncastle Presbyterian Church Stipend Book has entries for Daniel Dale and his wife in 1872, 1876 (of Tobergall) and 1888. Annie Dale of Tobergall is listed in May 1907 and shortly after as dead. Daniel Dale of Carncastle is recorded in a deed [PRONI D300/1/5/991] dated Mar.7, 1898. Adminstration of the estate of Daniel Dale, late of Tobergell, Carncastle, County Antrim, farmer, who died Dec.12, 1897, granted at Belfast to Ann Dale of Tobergell, the widow. The 1901 Census for Drains, townland of Killyglen, lists the 58-year-old widowed farmer Ann Dale (Presbyterian, born in County Antrim) as living in Drains with her unmarried daughter, Annie Dale. In the 1911 Census, 69-year-old widowed farmer Anne Dale, is again listed as the head of the household at house #19 in Drains, Carncastle, county Antrim. Again her 26-year-old unmarried daughter, Annie Dale is living with her. The Annie Dale of Tobergall, Carncastle, spinster who died on Dec.16, 1924, at Salisbury Terrace, Curran Road, Larne, and whose will was probated in Belfast on Jan.12, 1926, to Clements Robinson, motor garage proprietor (effects 15 pounds) may be either the mother or her daughter. The daughter of Daniel and Ann Dale:

Annie Dale, born about 1885, is listed in both the 1901 and 1911 Censuses as unmarried and living with her mother in the Drains, Carncastle.[2]


She married Robert Dick a carpenter from Ballymoney, Islandmagee. on 7 Jan 1837 in Carncastle, County Antrim, Ireland.

Letitia died on 12 Dec 1900 in Ballymoney, Islandmagee, County Antrim aged 91 years from decay of nature. She was the widow of a carpenter. Her death was registered by her son James Dick of Ballymoney.[3]

Extract from the Earls Family Chronicles [4] Letitia Dale, known as Letty, was born in 1804, the daughter of John Dale of Tobergall, near Carncastle in County Antrim. Prior to her father's death in 1839, she married Robert Dick, a carpenter of Ballymoney, Islandmagee, County Antrim on Jan.7, 1837, in the Carncastle Presbyterian Church. They lived in a now-ruined homestead in Ballymoney close to the Methodist Church but on the opposite side of the road. Letty is remembered standing at the door of their cottage and pointing toward Carncastle where she was born.

Letitia passed away in 1900 in Ballymoney, age 91 years, from decay of nature. She was the widow of a carpenter and her son James Dick of Ballymoney registered her death.[5]
