Thanks! I really think we are beginning to get on the right track with our Dalton connection and I thank you for your help. I'll keep the link posted as I make some solid ground on this theory concerning Daltons in the Newton County area and their connection to a branch of the SHIPMAN tree. I have lots of oral family history and a lot of documentation as well. But, unless I can pinpoint with some exactness a few more issues, I of course won't post anything from all of our "creative" thinking! (grin) Thanks! Deb Vancouver
