Dabney Minor Trice was the youngest child of Robert and Lucy Trice, born on September 27, 1860 in Charlottesville. He received his early education at Major Horace Jones Boys' School in Charlottesville, later attending Virginia Polytechnic Institute in Blacksburg, Va. After nearly succumbing to the epidemic of typhoid that claimed the lives of two of his sisters, Dabney married Rowena Glowina Cocke, born July 4, 1861 at "Red Hills", Fluvanna County, Va. They made their home at "Machunk" where they had a son, Robert Nelson Trice, born May 18, 1884. They also adopted William Archer Royall, a cousin of Rowena's, born in 1880. Both boys and their mother died between June 13 and June 18, 1887.

After this tragedy, Dabney gave up farming, selling "Machunk" to Charles S. Bowcock in 1890, and entered the University of Virginia to study medicine. After further study at the Hospital College of Medicine in Louisville, Kentucky, he set up practice in Middlesborough, Ky., later working in a mental hospital in New York, practicing as a specialist in Wisconsin, and finally locating in his native county at "Moore's Brook" where he opened a successful sanitarium for the treatment of nervous diseases and alcohol and drug addictions.

On June 7, 1904, Dabney married Anne Waller Cocke, the youngest sister of his first wife. On January 17, 1915, he died of pneumonia at the age of fifty four.
