I hope to link up with relatives from this line and share information, I have been lucky and have found two ladies from this family at this website, Hawkins Co Tennessee. My direct line migrated from Hawkins County to northern Texas and then a short time later on into Oklahoma Territory before it became a state in 1907. Son of Mathew Dalton, William Martin Dalton/Daulton, name change spelling came in the late 1880's. William and Amanda Manis/Lawson/Dalton/Daulton are my great-great-Grandparents and they both are buried at Lawton, Comanche County, Oklahoma. Oklahoma is where William applied for his Civil War pension also.
