Dail, Deel, Deal Family
I have recently been given information about a Matthew Deel who was married to Jutry Slaughter being the father of Theophilus Offie Dail.Matthew and Jutry are listed in the 1850 census reports of Pitt County.Jutry Slaughter Dail is buried alongside my family.The name Deel was also put on one of the other family member gravestones.Matthew Dail and Jutry Slaughter could be the father of Theophilus Offie Dail that was married to Margaret Vanderford.It seems that Dail WAS sometimes spelled wrong in the census and on the gravestones.In fact on one of my family gravestones it is spelled Dale.Does anyone have ANY information on Matthew (Deel) Dail and Jutry Slaughter Dail?I do know that Jutry had a brother named Theophilus?Could this be where the name Theophilus came from?Wow! I'm majorly confused.I lean toward's Jutry Slaughter Dail as being the mother of Theophilus Offie Dail as she is buried so near to them.I have as yet to find a Joseph Dail or Susan in the graveyard. I could certainly use some help with this one. Kinda makes sense if we descended from the Dalzell(pronouned Dee L) Clan of Scotland.
