Daksh had 60 daughters - He gave 10 of his daughters to Dharm, 13 to Kashyap, and 27 to Chandramaa (Moon).
And then the whole creation of this world started from these daughters of Daksh.

Priyavrat's Lineage
Vishnu Puraan, 2/1 Priyavrat married Kardam Rishi's daughter (name is not given here)
--- Bhaagvat Puraan, 4/1 says that Priyavrat married Barhishmatee, the daughter of Vishwakarmaa, and that Kardam Rishi's wife Devahooti was Priyavrat's sister, and they had nine daughters whom they gave to nine Prajaapati. Manu had two sons - Uttaanpaad and Priyavrat; and three daughters (Aakooti, Devahooti and Prasooti). So according to Bhaagvat Puraan, there is no question of marrying Priyavrat to Kardam Rishi's daughter.
They had 10 sons and 2 daughters - Aagneedhra, Agnibaahu, Vapushmaan, Dyutimaan. Medhaa, Medhaatithi, Bhavya, Savan, Putra and Jyotishmaan; and 2 daughters were Samraat and Kukshi. Among them Medhaa, Agnibaahu and Putra did not want kingdom so Priyavrat divided his kingdom among his 7 sons. [Bhavishya Puraan, 4/49, says that he ruled for 30,000 years. Bhaagvat Puraan says that after ruling Prithvi for 110 million years he divided Prithvi in seven Deep and gave one Dweep to each of his seven sons and went to forest.]

Aagneedhra had nine sons - (1) Naabhi, (2) Kimpurush, (3) Harivarsh, (4) Ilaavrit, (5) Ramya, (6) Hiranyavaan, (7) Kuru, (8) Bhadraashwa, and (9) Ketumaal. He divided his kingdom in nine Varsh (parts) and gave to his nine sons. In the last eight Varsh, there is no change of Yug - they are not time bound.

Naabhi had a son named Rishabh (from Meru Devee)
Rishabh had 100 sons among whom Bharat was the eldest. He gave his kingdom to Bharat and went to Pulah Aashram for Tap. In the end he put a stone in his mouth and went to Param Lok in nude condition. Since then this Him Varsh has been named as Bhaarat Varsh.

Bharat had a son named Sumati;
Sumati's son was Indradyumn; 
Indradymn's son was Pratihaar; 
Pratihaar's son was Pratihartaa; 
Pratihartaa's son was Bhav; 
Bhav's son was Udgeeth; 
Udgeeth's son was Prastaav, 
Prastaav's son was Prithu; 
Prithu's son was Nakt; 
Nakt's son was Gaya,
Gaya's son was Nar; 
Nar's son was Viraat; 
Viraat's son was Mahaaveerya; 
Mahaaveerya's son was Dheemaan; 
Dheemaan's son was Mahaant; 
Mahaant's son was Mansyu; 
Manasyu's son was Twashtaa; 
Twashtaa's son was Viraj; 
Viraj's son was Raj; 
Raj's son was Shatjit;
Shatjit had 100 sons. Among them Vishwajyoti was main.

These 100 sons had many many children and enjoyed for 71 + Chatur-Yug - means the whole Swaayambhuv Manvantar of Varaah Kalp.
