Hi Barbara, Thank you for responding to my email. The only one of Jesse and Nancy's children that was born in Tennesse was their first born, William Clark Meredith Dalton. The remainder were born in Missouri. Some of their given names are common with a Dalton line in Grainger County, Tennessee, but I have found no known connection. There are many branches of the Dalton line filled out, but there are many still blank and I keep hoping that something will turn up. I will keep your info and let you know if I see them anywhere. Thanks, Bev Clark The Wagoner's wrote: > Bev, I think we may have the same problem with our Dalton. I have my > gggrandparents as Rote Barnes and Becky Dalton.
