   History of Tennessee, 1887

       Nathaniel T. Dulaney, M. D., was born in Blountville March 12,1834,
    the son of Dr. W. R. and MARY (TAYLOR) DULANEY, the former born on the
    homestead April 2, 1800, the son of Dr. ELKANAH R. DULANEY, who was
    born in Culpeper County, Va., in 1771, and came to this county in 1799,
    where he was chief physician of the county for many years. He was a
    prominent magistrate and representative of the county for eight or ten
    years, and in 1812 was a presidential elector. He lived near Blount-
    ville, and died July 10, 1840. The father was educated in Washington
    County, and after reading medicine under his father, graduated from
    the medical department of Transylvania University, at Lexington, in
    1839. He died May 24,1860, after a successful life. The mother was born
    in Carter County in 1807, the daughter of Gen. NATHANIEL TAYLOR, great-
    grandfather of the present governor. One sister married Gen. TIPTON,
    and another Gen. A. E. JACKSON. She died January 9, 1883. Our subject,
    the fifth of twelve children, was educated at Jefferson Academy,
    Blountville, and after three months as clerk in a store in Virginia,
    and some time spent in reading medicine with his father, he entered
    the medical department of the University of Louisville in 1853, and
    in March, 1856, graduated from the Jefferson Medical College, Phila-
    delphia. He then practiced in this county until 1862, when he became
    examiner of Confederate conscripts, and in 1863 became surgeon of the
    Sixty-second North Carolina Infantry. After a few months he returned
    to this county, and practiced until the winter of 1872-73, which he
    spent at Jefferson Medical College and in the hospitals of Phila-
    delphia, taking a special course, under Dr. STRANBRIDGE, on the sub-
    ject of ”the eye.“  The next winter he attended Bellevue College,
    taking the eye as a specialty under Dr. KNAPP.  He has since made a
    specialty of this subject in Tennessee and Virginia. In 1880 he became
    a representative of his county, and among others was chairman of the
    sanitary committee. Ill health in his family compelled him to decline
    the re-election, but in 1884 he was again elected and served also on
    the finance, railway and charitable institution committees. He was
    again elected in 1886.  September 23, 1857, he married PAULINE, a
    daughter of Dr. J. S. DAVIS, who was born in 1840.  Eight of their
    twelve children are living. Our subject is a Methodist, and his wife
    and three daughters are Presbyterians. He is a Mason, a Democrat, and
    advocates the Prohibition amendment to the constitution, now pending
    in Tennessee.
