Bobbie, The Wm John Dalton I am backtracking was born in 1798 in VA, not sure which county, and died in 1870 in Livingston Co. KY. (Smithland). I am not sure when he left VA but I feel sure he married in White Co. TN.ca 1824. I don't think he ever migrated out of Livingston Co. KY after he settled there, if he did he didn't stay long because he died there. I am having the same trouble with the name John Dalton, I drove to Williamson Co. TN, Smith Co. TN and White Co. TN, Sumner Co. TN and many other counties in TN as well as the Archives in Nashville, TN and found a Dalton with the first name of John, they must have been everywhere. I have not looked for other Daltons in central and eastern KY. because my line seemed to have stopped migrating after stopping in Livingston Co.KY and all the children were accounted for. The next time I got to the History Center in Frankfort, KY I will look for Wm in central, KY, sorry I was not able to help. I sent two messages to TNWHITE-L today and some Demon kept sending them back, I wonder what I was doing wrong. Bill Wallace, Radcliff, KY.
