Collene, and List: Would you or any one on this list know if any of the below mentioned families have any Tennessee or VA connections to those area's Daltons? The Dalton/Daulton/Dolton surname (families) were in VA and TN near the Jordans and most likely there would have been some marriages. Time frame I need is mid to late 1700's and into 1800's up to 1850. Actually any Tennessee Dalton information would be helpful for me. I attended a convention in Fort Smith, Arkansas (Coffee/Coffey) and there was a representative of the east TN Dalton lines, these lines having a beginning in VA early on. This gentleman's Dalton lines are well represented in my own Coffey lines, and it is my Caswell Coffey who did marry the unknown Jordan lady c 1829. Caswell's daughter Elizabeth b c 1858 did marry into this man's Dalton lines but he and I are connected much earlier, mid 1820-1830 to a couple of other "unions".

I have been doing genaology since 1982 on my Mount, Williamson and Witherington lines, as well as, Jordan. I have the name of the book and the name of the person that wrote it. I know things are very hard to prove that is why it takes so long, but I am still checking. Mrs. Perry's son, Theo Dalton, was my school teacher and he became a College Professor and this Octavia Jordan Perry was his grandmother and I am sure that they did a lot of research before writing that book. Thank you for writing and I am still going to research Silas Samuel Jordan as much as time will allow. Collene --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I knew Theo Dalton personally, as he was born in Pike Co., AL in the Henderson community 8/21/1910 and died about 2 or 3 years ago. He was Dr. William Theophilus Dalton. The 3rd son of William Theophilus Dalton, Sr. born in Pike County near the Hopewell Baptist Church. Theo like to teach school and began teaching at age 17. My own mother, Cleone Williamson, went to High School at the same time, Theo Dalton was going to Troy State Normal. He graduated from Troy State Normal School, Troy State University, University of AL Duke University and George Peabody College now part of Vanderbilt University, where he rec'd his PhD in Education. He married Sue Glynn Sanders of Goshen (she is now deceased also- died about a year ago) He taught in nearly every school in Pike County at at Troy State University. He was a member of many different clubs. My mother knew him well-- Theo and his wife Sue attended my parents 50th and 60th wedding Anniv.
