The Biography of Henry (Harry) Dalton - Another Utah Pioneer Henry (Harry) Dalton was the first son of John Dalton Jr. and Rebecca Turner Cranmer. He was born on 10 Jan 1825 at the Dalton family homestead they called "Dalton Hollow" in Wysox, Bradford County, Pennsylvania. He grew up with three brothers and three sisters. After a wonderful childhood in Wysox, he and the rest of the Dalton's packed their belongings and headed north-west to Washtenaw County, Michigan. After living in a little village named Freedom, Henry moved further west into Wisconsin where he and his brothers helped their father build another cabin. Then about 1842, this Dalton family, which totaled about 10 members, moved south to Nauvoo, Hancock County, Illinois. Here Henry joined the Mormon Church. The John Dalton Jr. homestead was a farm on the banks of the wide and beautiful Mississippi River. Then the troubles started for these Mormon's, with the locals demanding they leave Nauvoo. The hateful mobs finely forced them out of Nauvoo, but before Henry left, he married Isabell Ferguson on 02 Feb 1846 in the Nauvoo Temple. A few days after this marriage, Henry and his new wife fled Nauvoo with his father's family and crossed the Mississippi River to start a new life in the west. When Henry got to Council Bluffs, Iowa Territory, he and his brother Edward and cousin Henry Simon Dalton joined the Mormon Battalion. His young wife crossed the plains to the Great Salt Lake Basin with her father-in-law. He was a member of The Mormon Battalion (1846- 1848) Company D along with his brother Edward. Cousin Henry Simon Dalton was a private in Company B. Note: The history of the Mormon Battalion: In July 1846, under the authority of U.S. Army Captain James Allen and with the encouragement of Mormon leader Brigham Young, the Mormon Battalion was mustered in at Council Bluffs, Iowa Territory. The battalion was t he direct result of Brigham Young's correspondence on 26 January 1846 to Jesse C. Little, presiding elder over the New England and Middle States Mission. Young instructed Little to meet with national leaders in Washington, D.C., and to seek aid for the migrating Latter-day Saints, the majority of whom were then in the Iowa Territory. In response to Young's letter, Little journeyed to Washington, arriving on 21 May 1846, just eight days after Congress had declared war on Mexico. Little met with President James K. Polk on 5 June 1846 and urged him to a id migrating Mormon pioneers by employing them to fortify and defend the W est. The president offered to aid the pioneers by permitting them to raise a battalion of five hundred men, who were to join Colonel Stephen W. Kearny, Commander of the Army of the West, and fight for the United States in the Mexican War. Little accepted this offer. Colonel Kearny designated Captain James Allen, later promoted to Lieutenant Colonel, to raise five companies of volunteer soldiers from the able-bodied men between the ages of eighteen and forty-five in the Mormon encampments in Iowa. On 26 June 1846 Allen arrived at the encampment of Mt. Pisgah. He was treated with suspicion as many believed that the raising of a battalion was a plot to bring trouble to the migrating Saints. Allen journeyed from Mt. Pisgah to Council Bluffs, where on 1 July 18 46 he allayed Mormon fears by giving permission for the Saints to encamp on United States lands if the Mormons would raise the desired battalion. Brigham Young accepted this, recognizing that the enlistment of the battalion was the first time the government had stretched forth its arm to a id the Mormons. On 16 July 1846 some 543 men enlisted in the Mormon Battalion. From among these men Brigham Young selected the commissioned officers; they included Jefferson Hunt, Captain of Company A; Jesse D. Hunter, Captain of Company B; James Brown, Captain of Company C; Nelson Higgins, Captain of Company D; and Daniel C. Davis, Captain of Company E. Among the most prominent non-Mormon military officers immediately associated with the battalion march were Lt. Col. James Allen, First Lt. Andrew Jackson Smith, Lt. Col. Philip St. George Cooke, and Dr. George Sanderson. Also accompanying t he battalion were approximately thirty-three women, twenty of whom served as laundresses, and fifty-one children. The battalion marched from Council Bluffs on 20 July 1846, arriving on 1 August 1846 at Fort Leavenworth (Kansas), where they were outfitted for their trek to Santa Fe. Battalion members drew their arms and accoutrement s, as well as a clothing allowance of forty-two dollars, at the fort. Since a military uniform was not mandatory, many of the soldiers sent their clothing allowances to their families in the encampments in Iowa.. The march from Fort Leavenworth was delayed by the sudden illness of Colon el Allen. Capt. Jefferson Hunt was instructed to begin the march to Santa Fe; he soon received word that Colonel Allen was dead. Allen's death caused confusion regarding who should lead the battalion to Santa Fe. Lt. A. J. Smith arrived from Fort Leavenworth claiming the lead, and he was chosen the commanding officer by the vote of battalion officers. The leadership transition proved difficult for many of the enlisted men, as they we re not consulted about the decision. Smith and his accompanying surgeon, a Dr. Sanderson, have been described in journals as the "heaviest burdens" of the battalion. Under Smith's dictatorial leadership and with Sanderson's antiquated prescriptions, the battalion marched to Santa Fe. On this trek the soldiers suffered from excessive heat, lack of sufficient food, improper medical treatment, and forced long-distance marches. The first division of the Mormon Battalion approached Santa Fe on 9 October 1846. Their approach was heralded by Col. Alexander Doniphan, who ordered a one-hundred-gun salute in their honor. At Santa Fe, Smith was relieved of his command by Lt. Col. Philip St. George Cooke. Cooke, aware of t he rugged trail between Santa Fe and California and also aware that one sick detachment had already been sent from the Arkansas River to Fort Pueblo in Colorado, ordered the remaining women and children to accompany the sick of the battalion to Pueblo for the winter. Three detachments consisting of 273 people eventually were sent to Pueblo for the winter of 1846- 47. The yellow line marks the route Henry and he brother Edward took from Council Bluffs to Fort Pueblo and then onto S. L. C. The remaining soldiers, with four wives of officers, left Santa Fe for California on 19 October 1846. They journeyed down the Rio Grande del Norte and eventually crossed the Continental Divide on 28 November 1846. While moving up the San Pedro River in present-day Arizona, their column was attacked by a herd of wild cattle. In the ensuing fight, a number of bulls we re killed and two men were wounded. Following the "Battle of the Bulls," the battalion continued their march toward Tucson, where they anticipated a possible battle with the Mexican soldiers garrisoned there. At Tucson, the Mexican defenders temporarily abandoned their positions and no conflict ensued. On 21 December 1846 the battalion encamped on the Gila River. They crossed the Colorado River into California on 9 and 10 January 1847. By 29 January 1847 they were camped at the Mission of San Diego, about five miles from General Kearny's quarters. That evening Colonel Cooke rode to Kearny 's encampment and reported the battalion's condition. On 30 January 1847 Cooke issued orders enumerating the accomplishments of the Mormon Battalion. "History may be searched in vain for an equal march of infantry. Ha lf of it has been through a wilderness where nothing but savages and wild beasts are found, or deserts where, for lack of water, there is no living creature." During the remainder of their enlistment, some members of the battalion we re assigned to garrison duty at either San Diego, San Luis Rey, or Ciudad de los Angeles. Other soldiers were assigned to accompany General Kearny back to Fort Leavenworth. All soldiers, whether en route to the Salt Lake Valley via Pueblo or still in Los Angeles, were mustered out of the United States Army on 16 July 1847. Eighty-one men chose to reenlist and serve an additional eight months of military duty under Captain Daniel C. Davis in Company A of the Mormon Volunteers. The majority of the soldiers migrated to the Salt Lake Valley and were reunited with their pioneering families. The men of the Mormon Battalion are honored for their willingness to fight for the United States as loyal American citizens. Their march of some 2 ,000 miles from Council Bluffs to California is one of the longest military marches in history. Their participation in the early development of California by building Fort Moore in Los Angeles, building a courthouse in S an Diego, and making bricks and building houses in southern California contributed to the growth of the West. Following their discharge, many men helped build flour mills and sawmills in northern California. Some of them were among the first to discover gold at Sutter's Mill. Men from Captain Davis's Company A were responsible for opening the first wagon road over the southern route from California to Utah in 1848. Historic sites associated with the battalion include the Mormon Battalion Memorial Visitor's Center in San Diego, California; Fort Moore Pioneer Memorial in Los Angeles, California; and the Mormon Battalion Monument in Memory Grove, Salt Lake City, Utah. Monuments relating to the battalion are also located in New Mexico, Arizona, and Colorado, and trail markers have been placed on segments of the battalion route. Harry and his brother Edward was taken sick along the long march and was assigned to the sick battalion and went to Pueblo, Colorado for the winter. This detachment of the Mormon Battalion arrived in the Salt Lake Valley and were greeted by Brigham Young on July 29, 1847. Harry Dalton settled on land near the present day Liberty Park on block 32, Lot 2, which bordered between fourth south and fifth south and between sixth east and seventh east. The other Dalton families settled next door, with his father, John Jr., on Lot 4, uncle Charles on Lot 5, and his brother Edward Dalton on Lot 3. This Dalton family as a group helps build the S. L. Temple by supplying labor where ever it was needed. The following are the names of the officers and privates who joined the Lot Smith Company in Salt Lake City, April 30, 1862, during the Civil War years: Teamsters: Henry Dalton, others. Henry's father, John Dalton Jr. in the fall of 1862 was called to on a mission in Southern Utah by Brigham Young to raise cotton. John Dalton Jr. then sold his house in Salt Lake City and first settled in Parowan, Iron Co. Utah. Henry Dalton soon followed him south. After living in a few places he didn't like, in 1871 he finally settled in Annabelle, Utah. The first two family's to settle in Annabelle, Utah were of Harry Dalton and Joseph Powell. Annabelle was named after Ann S. Roberts, wife of Edward K. Roberts, and Isabella Dalton, wife of Harry Dalton, two of the first women settlers of the place. Harry Dalton settled in the Sevier Valley in the spring of 1871, taking up the springs (with adjacent land) which afterwards became known as Annabelle Springs. Henry Dalton built the first log cabin there in the summer of 1871, and soon afterwards brought his family out. Other settlers arrived the same year. An irrigation ditch was commenced and many improvements made, though only a limited crop of grain was raised in 1871 by irrigating from the Annabelle Springs. 1880 United States Federal Census Name: Henry Dalton Home in 1880: Annabella, Sevier, Utah Age: 60 Estimated birth year: abt 1820 Birthplace: Pennsylvania Relation to Head of Household: Self (Head) Father's birthplace: Pennsylvania Mother's birthplace: Pennsylvania Marital Status: Widower Race: White Gender: Male Household Members: Henry Dalton 60 Isaac Dalton 10 Edward Dalton 7 Henry Dalton invested in mining shares recorded below.

The Soldier in Medieval England Researched, complied & edited by Rodney G. Dalton Extracted from: http://www.medievalsoldier.org Employing one of the most efficient weapons of the Middle Ages, the Medieval Archers were for centuries that corps of an army capable to decide the outcome of the battle. The right deployment in the field, combined with the rapid "fire" capability could ensure the victory even when their army was in numeric inferiority. Crécy, Poitiers, and Agincourt (Azincourt) are classical examples. Foot Archers-13th Century The role the Medieval Archers could play in battle was quickly understood, and as early as the years following the Norman Conquest, the practice of archery was much encouraged and the Medieval Archers were granted special privileges. Among the enactments of Henry I of England, it was provided that if anyone practicing with arrows or with darts should by accident slay another, it was not to be visited against him as a crime. From 1066 until the end of the 12th Century, the longbow was of the most simple construction. It appears frequently in the Bayeux tapestry. The arrows were usually barbed. During the 13th Century, besides the mounted men-at-arms or heavy cavalry, there were light troops formed by the mounted archers and crossbow-men. The Medieval Archers were becoming every day of more importance in the field. And, if the bow was an efficient arm in battle, it was still more so in sieges, and the defense of strongholds and mountain-passes. There was a clear difference between the Continent and England as far as the Medieval Archers are concerned. While the longbow was preferred in England, the crossbow-man was an essential component of a Continental army during all this period. The crossbow-men were either mounted or on foot. One of the popular type of crossbow arrows was the four-sided or pyramidal head. Among the Medieval Archers, the English archer is the most prominent character. In the 14th Century, he was equally efficient in siege and in the field. The defender of town or castle could not peep beyond the parapet, but an English arrow could nail his cap to his head. In the field, provided the archers were, by marsh, wood, or mountain, secured from a flank attack, they would bid defiance to any number of mounted men-at-arms. The foot-archers were in far greater proportion then the mounted ones. The bows were of two kinds: painted and plain (white). On the continent, the missile weapon employed to oppose the English longbow was still the arbalest (crossbow). The troops who used it were chiefly Genoese and Spanish infantry mercenaries. Mounted crossbow-men were also engaged, but in much smaller numbers. How inefficient the crossbow was when opposed to the English archery appears in every page of the histories of the 14th Century. The element of success was simply the more rapid “fire” of the English archers using the longbow. Although the 15th Century saw the first hand-gunners, the Medieval Archers were still in favor. The crossbow-men continue to have an important place in the Continental armies of the day. There were also important changes in organizing the Medieval Archers. Learning from the lessons of Crécy and Agincourt, Charles VII of France instituted the French-Archers, equipped partly with the longbow and partly with the crossbow.

The story of a Dalton family - From England to America Researched, complied & edited from the World Wide Web by Rodney G. Dalton John Dalton was born June 02, 1800 in England, emigrated to America with his parents William and Mary Dalton, and settled near Ogdenburg, St. Lawrence County, New York. His obituary says he arrived in 1824; other sources point to his arrival with his parents about 1808. He married Ellen Waddell in New York before 1827. She emigrated from Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland in 1820 with her parents George and Margaret Anderson Waddell. John and Ellen lived for seventeen years on a farm in St. Lawrence County, New York before moving their family to Delavan County, Wisconsin in the spring of 1844. Together John and Ellen had ten children all born in New York. Ogdenburg is located on the St. Lawrence River, across the river from Prescott in Grenville County, Ontario. Ogdensburg was the first white settlement in the wilderness that became northern New York State. In 1748, the French Abbe Francis Piquet, a Sulpician missionary, arrived to establish Fort La Presentation and a mission. Located at the confluence of the St. Lawrence and Oswegatchie Rivers, the fort served as church, school, trading post, Indian village, and citadel. John Dalton and family moves from Ogdensburg to Wisconsin: John and Ellen Dalton were among the early settlers of the Delavan area of Walworth County, Wisconsin in about 1844 (near the Illinois border). The "History of Walworth County," indicates that they arrived there in 1842 and that a G.W. Dalton arrived in 1844. A James Dwire and John Dalton of Walworth County, Wisconsin Territory received a land grant for 80 acres on March 25, 1841. There was a second John Dalton in Walworth County, Wisconsin in 1837, who most likely was the recipient of the 1841 land grant. Note: This second John Dalton is John Dalton Jr. great-great uncle of Rodney G. Dalton. The Delavan Republican, Thursday, January 13, 1876. "A painful, and perhaps fatal, accident occurred to the aged couple who two months ago celebrated their golden wedding, Mr. and Mrs. John Dalton. They had been on a visit to their son-in-law, Wm. Redford, and were returning Tuesday afternoon, with their son, Henry Dalton, when near the residence of Thomas Williams, the back seat, on which they were riding, became detached in some manner, turned backwards, and threw the unfortunate pair backwards to the ground. Their injuries are very severe, and they now lie in a very precarious condition at the residence of Mr. Thomas Williams." Unfortunately, Ellen Waddell Dalton died from her injuries on January 13, 1876. John Dalton died in Delavan January 19, 1887. He is buried in Old Pioneer Cemetery, East Delevan, Wisconsin. OBITUARY: John Dalton, "The Delavan Enterprise," Wednesday, January 19, 1887. "Mr. John Dalton, who departed this life January 5th, 1887, was born in England the 2nd day of June 1800, and was therefore 86 years, 6 months and 26 days old. In 1824 he came to the United States and settled at Ogdensburg, St. Lawrence county, New York, where he formed the acquaintance of Miss Ellen Waddell, of Glasgow, Scotland, with whom he was soon united in marriage. The fruits of that union was 10 children, all of whom, with one exception, survive. In the spring of 1844, he arrived in Walworth county and soon after purchased the farm which C. Q. Fisk now owns, where he lived many years. Since his first arrival, he has always been a resident of the town of Delavan. Mrs. Dalton died in 1876, since which time he has been a lonely traveler on the downward pathway of life. He united in early life with the Methodist Episcopal church and remained a member to life's close. Of Mr. Dalton it can be truly said that he was an honest, upright man in all his dealings, a good neighbor, a fond husband, an indulgent parent, a friend to all, an enemy to none. None ever applied to him for assistance without receiving it, if, it was in his power to aid. Thus the pioneers of Walworth county drop away and the place which knew them shall know them no more forever." Children of ELLEN WADDELL and JOHN DALTON are: i. JOHN HENRY DALTON, b.

His father John Dalton, Sr. is from England and his mother Ellen Waddell is from Scotland (as stated in the1880 census). In 1844, when he was 17 years old, John moved with his family from New York to Walworth County, Wisconsin. In 1848 he went to North Manitou Island, Michigan. He married Amanda Dexter there in 1853, and evidently returned for a while with her to Wisconsin, as their first child John Henry, Jr. was born there in 1855. The family was back on the island by 1857 when daughter Orilla Amanda was born. "John Dalton, foreman for the Leland Iron Company, of Leland, Leelanaw County, Mich., was born in New York in 1827. The first seventeeen years of his life were spent on a farm. He then left home and went to Wisconsin, where he remained until 1848, being mostly engaged in running a threshing machine and in breaking land. In 1848 he went to the Manitou Islands, where he was employed in the wood business [for Pickard] and in charge of the dock. Came from North Manitou to Leland in 1866, and since the Iron Works were started has been yard foreman and in charge of the wood business of the Leland Iron Company. Has been several years justice of the peace and now holds that office. He was married in September 1853 to Amanda Dexter. They had eight children, of whom seven are living. Mrs. Dalton is a daughter of Moses H. Dexter, who settled on North Manitou in 1849. He is now living in Walworth County, Wisconsin at age of eighty-four." John Dalton came to the island of North Manitou in 1848 and was employed as manager on one of Pickard's docks. A year later [1849] Moses H. Dexter settled his family on the island. Both John Dalton and Moses Dexter were among the earliest pioneers of Leelanau County. North Manitou Island is nearly 8 miles long and a bit over 4 miles wide and features about 20 miles of Lake Michigan shoreline and was occupied on a seasonal basis by Native Americans and, after 1634, were touched upon by French traders. After steamships, both paddle boats and "propellers," began to appear on Lake Michigan, by 1834 forty-eight were plying the lakes. Manitou Island was a good place to obtain wood from early inhabitants, and by 1843 there were references to wood-cutters living on the island. At the time of the 1850 census, on July 22, 1850 John Dalton, age 23 of NY was also living on N. Manitou Island. He was living with seven single men in what appears to be a boarding house, identified as house 15. John Dalton was a teamster, and John Korval was listed as the head of household. John is living a few doors down from the family of his future wife, Amanda Dexter. "Two of the island's first families were joined in 1853 when Amanda Dexter, daughter of Moses Dexter, married John Dalton. Amanda and John Dalton had eight children In the 1850 census for District 33, town of Delavan, Walworth County, Wisconsin, John Dalton, Jr., age 23 of NY is shown as living with his father on August 29, 1850; a farmer. In 1860, John Henry Dalton was living on North Manitou Island, then a part of an extinct county named Manitou. He didn't move, rather the county name changed. This county was in existence from 1860 to 1905 and comprised all the islands in the Upper Peninsula archipelago. In 1861, Manitou County was attached to Mackinac, and in 1865 the island was attached to Leelanau County, then back to Mackinac in 1869. In 1895, North and South Manitou and the Fox Islands were attached to Leelanau County for good. By 1870, John "Dolton" 43 NY (born 1827) and his family had moved from North Manitou Island to the mainland, and he was living in Centerville Township, which then included the present Leland Township. He was working for the Leland Iron Furnace, and his personal property had increased to $1215. With him is his wife Aminta 33 NY (born 1837), Henry 15, Auretia 13, Emma 11, Edwin, Clarra 7, and Walter 1. Expansion of the village was rapid at this point, though the presence of kilns made living somewhat unpleasant because of the clouds of smoke from the smoldering wood that hovered over the village at all times. The Iron Company was importing men to work for them, many of which were Bohemians, who later moved to the ridge east of Carp Lake and created a farming community which came to be known as the Bohemian Settlement. In 1880, John Dalton's residence was given as the Village of Leland and he had become the foreman of the Leland Iron Company. It is to be presumed that he had been here ever since his move from the island. He says that his father is from England and his mother from Scotland. With him is his wife Amanda. She says her father is from Wales (he's actually from Vermont), and her mother is from Vermont. The year 1884 saw the beginning of the end of the iron furnace. The business of making charcoal iron so far from the sources of iron ore became unprofitable. In that year the property, including an acreage of land, was sold to four local men who incorporated under the name of Leland Lumber Company and began to operate the saw mill. The furnace was demolished, and the bricks were used to build a county jail, now the home of the Leelanau Historical Museum. In the 1900 census for Leland Township, John 73 NY was living with his son William 34 MI. His wife Amanda Dexter Dalton passed on in 1896. John died in 1908, twelve years after Amanda died. John Dalton shares a headstone with his wife Amandy Dalton in Beechwood Cemetery, Leland, Michigan. The stone is inscribed John Dalton 1827-1908 and Amandy Dalton 1835-1896. We will go with 1827 as the birth year of John Dalton. Burial: Beechwood Cemetery, Leland, Leelanau County, Michigan Notes for GEORGE WADDELL DALTON: George W. Dalton enlisted November 27, 1861 to November 27, 1864 in the Union Army and served with Company A, 1st Cavalry of the Oregon Volunteers. The Company primarily soldiered out of Fort Walla Walla in the Southeast Washington Territory. This information is found on index cards compiled by a member of Oregon Genealogical Forum from records of payroll bonds kept by the State Adjutant General. Company "A" moved from near Oregon City to Fort Dallas; thence to Fort Walla Walla, Washington Territory, June 24-July 12, 1862. Left Fort Walla Walla July 25, 1862, for Salmon Falls on Snake River Expedition against Snake Indians in Idaho August 19-October 11, 1862, and protecting emigrant roads till November.

Expedition from Camp Lyon, Idaho Territory, to Malheur River, Ore., and skirmish July 2-13, 1865. George Dalton mustered out November 27, 1864. In 1880, George W. Dalton, age 45, is a farmer living in Lakin Twp., Harvey Co., Kansas. The Daily Northwester (Oshkosh) Thursday, January 10, 1907 Death of George W. Dalton: Heart Disease Closes Life of Wright Street Resident at Age Seventy Years. George W. Dalton of 108 Wright street died very suddenly this noon at his home, death resulting from an attack of heart disease, to which he was subject. He was about seventy years of age, and had retired from active pursuits. Surviving are the wife, Mrs. Helen Dalton, one daughter, Mrs. Ruth of Chicago, and two sons, Edgar B., residing in the west, and Maurice of this city. No arrangements have made for the funeral. Burial: Riverside Cemetery, Oshkosh, Wisconsin Notes for WILLIAM DALTON: William DALTON, born 19 Feb 1839 in St. Lawrence County, New York , died 13 Apr 1923 in Halstead, Kansas. William Dalton enlisted in the Union Army, Company A, 10th Regiment Infantry, of the Wisconsin Volunteers on August 31, 1861 at Delevan, WI. He was taken prisoner at Chickamauga in September 1863. He was freed November 11, 1863, but was again taken prisoner of war at Richmond, Virginia in December 1863. At the end of the war he was freed and mustered out on November 3, 1864. William was married to Jane Freeman November 17, 1867 in Wisconsin (History of Walworth County) and with her moved first to Missouri, then to Kansas in 1871. A few months after arrivng in Kansas, Jane died and William returned to Wisconsin. In 1876 he again came to Kansas and in 1879 married Susan Inez Williams. William Dalton and Susan Inez Williams had a daughter named Bertha born to them in 1880, who died February 21, 1890 at Halstead, Kansas. They later adopted a daughter of William Dalton's sister, Donna Dalton Ingram, who had died and left 9 children. They also named her Bertha, and raised her as their own. There is some confusion over who Bertha's real mother was, but according to William Dalton's obituary she was the daughter of his sister Donna who married an Ingram. William Dalton was a Kansas homesteader of 1871 and a civil war veteran. He was born in St. Lawrence County, New York, February 19, 1839 and died at Halstead, Kansas April 13, 1923. At the age of 3 years he moved with his parents to Delevan, Wisconsin where he grew to young manhood. At the beginning of the Civil War he enlisted in Company D, 10th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry. He served under General Thomas through a number of important battles and after a long service in the field he was captured by the Southerners and was an inmate of the famous prisons at Libby, Florence and Andersonville, Georgia for nearly fifteen months when he was exchanged and reached home in broken health. In 1900, William, age 61, is again farming in Lakin Twp., Harvey Co., Kansas. He says that he was born in February 1839 and has been married for 21 years. His wife, Inez, age 38, says she was born June 1861 and has been married for 21 years. Their stated place of birth and the birthplaces of their parents have not changed from the previous census. Inez says she is mother to one child who is no longer living. With them is their "adopted daughter", Bertha, age 13. Bertha was born Aug. 1886 in TX. She says her parents were both born in AL. Also living with them is John…….., a boarder, age 30. In 1910, the William Dalton family dynamic has changed in Lakin Twp. Bertha B., the adopted daughter, age 23, is now married. In 1920 the William Dalton family dynamic has again changed. They are still living in Lakin Twp., but this time William, age 80 is listed as the head. He is currently a dairy farmer and owns his own farm. His wife, Susie is now 58. With them is the family of their adopted daughter Bertha, now 30. William Dalton's farm land is visible on the 1873 plat map from the Combination Atlas Map of Walworth Co., WI. His brother Henry's farm, a short distance away on this same map, was directly across the road from Union Cemetery where members of the Dalton family, including their parents, John and Ellen, are buried. The site of William Dalton's farm in Wisconsin is currently called Fantasy Hills Ranch, Ltd. Notes for ELLEN JANE DALTON: In the 1870 census for Develan, Walworth County, Wisconsin, Ellen 25 WI and daughter Lillie 2 WI are living with her husband William Redford 27 England. William Redford married Ellen Dalton, sister to William Dalton, on May 20, 1866 in East Delavan, WI. Notes for HENRY JAMES DALTON: Henry James Dalton was born on June 17, 1842, in Ogdensburg, St. Lawrence County, New York, the son of John Dalton and Ellen Waddell. The History of Walworth County, Wisconsin says that he was one of the best known and most highly honored pioneers of this locality, who, after a long, active, influential and useful life here, spent principally in agricultural pursuits, retired in the city of Delevan. Henry J. Dalton, grew to maturity on the home farm where he assisted with the general work during crop seasons, and he tended the district schools during the winter months. On June 3, 1866, he married Celia Yost, daughter of John and Ester (Hollister) Yost, natives of the state of New York. The Yosts migrated to Wisconsin in 1844. John Yost died July 3,1890 and Ester Hollister Yost died January 16,1908. Four children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Dalton, namely: Maud Frances Dalton, who married and moved to Beloit, Wisconsin; Ervin Dalton, who farmed at East Delevan; Dr. Charles Dalton of Albion, Wisconsin and Harold Dalton who was a lawyer and lived at Bowden, North Dakota. Mr. Dalton was a veteran of the Civil War. Having been in the West when the war broke out, he enlisted at Jacksonville, Oregon in Company A, First Oregon Cavalry on November 27, 1861. The Regiment was organized at large in Oregon February to April, 1862. Regiment concentrated in Williamette Valley and ordered May 1862 to Walla Walla Country and the Mining Districts of Nez Perce and Salmon River Countries to protect emigrants and miners. Headquarters at Fort Walla Walla, Washington Territory. Company "A" moved from near Oregon City to Fort Dallas; thence to Fort Walla Walla, Washington Territory, June 24-July 12, 1862.

Expedition from Camp Lyon, Idaho Territory, to Malheur River, Ore., and skirmish July 2-13, 1865. Henry served three years in the west against the hostile Indians of the Pacific coast, being discharged on November 27, 1864, at Fort Vancouver, Washington, with the rank of corporal under Capt. William Rinehart, being then nineteen years of age. After his discharge he went to Walla Walla, Washington, where he had charge of a pack train, freighting to the mines for one year. Then he returned to East Delevan, Wisconsin and was married soon after. About this time he purchased a 110 acre farm in Section 35, Delevan township which he later sold to his son Erwin. The following excerpt is from the Beloit Daily News, March 24, 1923 and was sent to Norman A. Delap by Harold W. Dalton: DELAVAN PIONEER LAST OF DARING PARTY THAT CROSSED PLAINS IN 1859: H. J. Dalton is sole Survivor of Walworth County Men Who Answered Gold Lure. DELAVAN, March 24.- Memories connected with an oxen trek in covered emigrant wagons overland to California 64 years ago was refreshed today in an interview with Henry J. Dalton, 118 Ninth Street, the last survivor of a party of 16 Walworth County young men who started from East Delavan on April 11, 1859. The lure of California gold and the urge of Horace Greeley to go west and grow up with the country was the motive which gave these young men the encourage to attempt the perilous journey, Mr. Dalton declared. They left here boasting to their friends that it was a case of "Pike's Peak or Bust." The determination to push on to the Pacific coast was reached when their number grew through the addition of other travelers as they progressed westward. SIXTEEN IN PARTY Those comprising the party from this community were: Henry and George Dalton [sons of John Dalton and Elizabeth Waddel), Milan; Nelson and Lyman Brigham; Zinah Cotton; Amos Johns and Adam Scrafford, all of East Delavan; James Jones, Jefferson Prairie; William and James Dunbar of Elkhorn; Anthony Delap, Cyrus and Lige Marble, and Robert Campbell [married to Mary Jane Delap] of Geneva; and Isaac Brown, of Delavan. Henry and George Dalton (Henry was at that time a youth of 17 years) drove two teams of oxen hitched to a heavy covered wagon. The Daltons paired off with Adam Scrafford and James Jones, who also had a double team of oxen. Henry Dalton and Scrafford took turns in cooking the meals which were prepared and eaten along the roadside. From the time they left East Delavan until their arrival in Yreka, Cisco County, California, six months later, they spent their days and nights out of doors. Jones and Scrafford included two cows in their outfit so that party was able to enjoy something better than the ordinary fare before the animals played out and had to be sacrificed later on in the journey. GO THROUGH IOWA The Walworth County adventurers headed for Dubuque, where they were ferried across the Mississippi, landing at Council Bluffs. Here they struck out for Omaha, at that time a settlement of only a few buildings and the outpost of the western wilderness. Leaving Omaha the party was strictly on its own resources although its number had been augmented by the addition of many emigrants at Council Bluffs and other cities through which they passed. It was slow traveling, the oxen making about ten miles in a good day. Following a route north of the Platte River, they made their way to Fort Laramie, harassed at time by marauding Pawnee Indians through the Nebraska prairies. Dalton and others swam the river at Laramie one night to hear Horace Greeley speak. The picturesque editor, limping as the result of being thrown from his mule, was preaching is "Go West!" doctrine and succeeded in sending the youngsters back to their camp on the other side of the fiver full of new enthusiasm for their project. They followed the old California route after leaving Laramie, taking what was known as the "sublet cutoff" [Sublette] just before reaching Salt Lake City. In this manner they saved themselves a trip through the great American desert. COME UPON MASSACRE While following their new trail, they came upon the scene of the Shepherd massacre, near the Humboldt River only three days after the Sioux had killed all but one member of the party. Partly burned wagons, slaughtered animals and other signs of carnage were all about the site. An emigrant train just in advance of theirs had rescued the sole survivor, Mrs. Shepherd, and had buried the dead. The Shepherds were Missouri people returning from California where they had acquired wealth. The Sioux, led by unscrupulous white outlaws, learned of their treasure and massacred them. Mrs. Shepherd was left for dead by the marauding party. The Sioux stampeded the herd of the party to which the Walworth County youths had attached themselves one night as they were corralled near the Raft River. Fortunately, Captain William Home of Shyullsberg, who was acting as leader of the caravan (having made the trip before) heard the stampede, mounted his horse and circled the herd, driving it back to camp. He was shot at by some of the Indians as he performed his perilous task. TWO OF THE PARTY KILLED Two members of the party were shot and killed as they stood guard over the camp at night. Their bodies are buried somewhere along the trail, Dalton declares, as were those of many other pioneers who lost their lives in the California rush. When the party disbanded at Yreka, the Daltons and their friends, Scrafford and Jones, had a single yoke of oxen and the rear half of a wagon left of the four yokes, two milk cows and two wagons with which they left Delavan. They were penniless and hungry. Dalton and his partner finally obtained a job clearing wood for a Frenchman. Later on, Dalton earned 12 cents a day as a mason in Yreka, where a large brewery was being built. This was unprecedented wages for a lad of eighteen at that time. BECOMES A COWBOY The life of a cowboy appealed to the new comer and in March 1860, Dalton became a range rider in Ashland, Jackson County, Oregon where he remained for a year. He then decided to embark in the raising of milch cattle and had a good start when the Civil War put a stop to this project. In the company with his brother, George and other young men of the vicinity, Dalton enlisted on November 27, 1861, in company A, First Oregon Cavalry. They were on their way south when an Indian outbreak caused them to be detailed to range duty where they soldiered until November 1864 when they mustered out. FIGHT INDIANS These enthusiastic westerners purchased horses, saddles and rifles before volunteering and Dalton rode his horse, a particularly fine animal, during his entire term of service. They found the Redskin, aided and abetted by the Mormons, a tricky foe. Casualties were particularly heavy. At one time a party of 80 men sent to break up a band of the Sioux returned to the fort with 37 survivors. The Delavan man returned to his old home in 1866 and took a farm near East Delavan, where he lived for many years. This farm is still owned by him and is now worked by a son. Mr. Dalton, although 82 years old, is active and makes daily trips to the business section of the city. He is a member and twice served as commander of the George H. Thomas Post 8, G.A.R of this city. Henry was a witness to a wedding in 1869: In Delevan, Walworth Co, WI, Feb 3, 1869, Mr. Joseph T. Brown, farmer, of Walworth, aged 25, and Mrs. Sarah Ann Yost of Delevan, aged 23, in presence of George W. Dalton and Henry Dalton, attesting witnesses. From The Janesville Gazette, April 17, 1930 DELAVAN VETERAN OF '61 IS DEAD Death of Henry J. Dalton, 89, Reduces G.A.R. Post to Four Delavan--Leaving but four old comrades remaining in Delavan and immediate vicinity, Henry J. Dalton, 89, veteran of the Civil War, died in his home on Ninth street here early Thursday following an illness of three weeks due to the infirmities of old age. Mr. Dalton was a native of Ogdensburg, N.Y., where he was born June 17, 1841. At the age of two years, he moved to Wisconsin with his parents who settled on a farm in East Delavan. In 1859, he went west, travelling from East Delavan to California with an ox team, and remaining in the west until the Civil War broke out. He enlisted in Company A. First Oregon Cavalry, and served until peace was declared, when he was mustered out at Ashland, Ore., and returned to Wisconsin in 1865. On June 3, 1866, he married Miss Celia Yost of East Delavan. The couple remained at East Delavan until 20 years ago, when they moved to this city and have resided here since. Mr. Dalton is survived by three children: Mrs. L. A. Francis, Beloit; E. H. Dalton, East Delavan; and H. W. Dalton, Delavan. Five grandchildren and four great-grandchildren also survive. Funeral services will be held in the Dalton home at 2 p.m. Saturday, the Rev. Henry Wise, Edgerton, to officiate. Burial will be in East Delavan. The four remaining Civil War veterans are: David Phelps, Delavan Lake, S. L. Jackson, Timothy Shanahan and Capt. A.E.

The Dalton — Cockersand Abbey Connection Researched, complied & edited by Rodney G. Dalton from sources on the World Wide Web THE ABBEY OF COCKERSAND As you can see by the map above, Cockersand Abbey is only a mile west of Thurnham Hall, resident of the Dalton family for 400 years. When Robert Dalton I purchased Thurnham Hall in 1556, he had already accrued the land that was the ruins of Cockersand Abbey. There probably were more buildings standing at the time. “Our Dalton pedigree shows that Robert married Anne, daughter of John Kechyn. John Kechyn, who was of Hatfield, Hertforldshire, Esq. was supervisor of the Augmentation Office and became M.P. for the county of Lancaster. The Court of Augmentations was a branch of the Exchequer formed in 1535 to carry out the dissolution of the Monasteries and dispose of their land and property. Ten years later, by deed dated 29th August 1554, the abbey lands were conveyed, on the marriage of his daughter, to Robert Dalton of Bispham. Two years later, on the 24th June 1556, Thomas Lonna or Lowm, a citizen of London, sold the manor of Thurnham to Robert for £1,500, having purchased it four years earlier from the Duke of Suffolk.” Cockersand Abbey remained until the Dissolution of the Greater Monasteries in 1539 when Abbot Poulton and twenty-two Canons surrendered Cockersand Abbey to the Crown. John Kitchen of Hatfield, Hertfordshire purchased the property from the Crown in 1543 for £798 8s. 6d. He farmed the estates of the house and his daughter, Anne, married Robert Dalton of Bispham who had purchased Thurnham Hall. He died in 1580. So the estates of Cockersand Abbey were duly passed into the Dalton family of Thurnham Hall and there they have remained ever since. At the dissolution of the monasteries, part of the possessions of Cockersand were leased to John and Robert Gardner of Pilling, and in 1543, the whole township of Pilling was granted to John Kitchin of Hatfield in Hertfordshire, and afterwards of Pilling Hall, whose eldest daughter conveyed it by marraige to Robert Dalton of Thurnham. Frances, the daughter of John Dalton of Thurnham (died 12th March 1777) transferred part of Pilling by her marriage to Humphrey Trafford of Croston, from whose family it passed to John Gardner, and on to his two sons. Below is a description of Cockersand Abbey from the British History Online web page. Cockersand Abbey: The Premonstratensian abbey of Cockersand was originally founded as a small hospital of that order of canons. William de Lancaster, second baron of Kendal and lord of Wyresdale, who died in 1184, gave the site and was usually considered the founder, but the foundation seems to have been really due to the efforts of Hugh Garth, a hermit ' of great perfection,' who is said to have collected the alms of the neighbourhood for the erection of the hospital and to have become its first master. The canons came from Croxton Abbey, Leicestershire, which, probably about this time, established a cell at Hornby. The site, bleak and exposed, consisted of moss land forming the seaward portion of the township of Cockerham to the north of the Cocker sands; the house was at first styled St. Mary of the Marsh on the Cockersand. Some richer land in the adjoining township of Thurnham was added by William de Furness, lord of Thurnham from 1186. In 1190 Pope Clement III took the ' monastery hospital' under his protection, confirmed gifts of land by various donors, some of which were in Cumberland, Westmorland, and South Lancashire, and bestowed upon it the privileges which the popes were accustomed to confer on fully established religious houses; among them free election of their priors and exemption of their demesne lands from tithe. The hospital benefited by the widespread connexions of the Lancaster family, but was presently involved in a serious dispute with the Austin Canons of Leicester Abbey. The Cockerham manor, which included the site of the hospital, had been given with the church to the Leicester canons by William de Lancaster I, but resumed by his son before his grant to Hugh the Hermit. Between 1189 and 1194 the abbey recovered the manor in the court of John, count of Mortain, then lord of the honour of Lancaster, against Heloise widow of William de Lancaster II and her second husband Hugh de Morvill. This decision introduced a defect into the hospital's title, and though Leicester Abbey may not have been disposed to press this to the utmost it resisted the ambition of the canons to have the priory promoted to abbatial status, and even contested some of the privileges granted by Clement III. Under these circumstances the canons seem to have contemplated removal to another site if they did not actually remove for a time. Theobald Walter, who obtained a grant of Amounderness from John, count of Mortain, about 1192, issued a charter within the next few years bestowing Pilling Hay in free alms on ' the abbot and canons of the *Premonstratensian order there serving God . . . for the erection of an abbey of the said order.' The canons undoubtedly had an abbot before 1199, and the style 'abbas et conventus de Marisco' without mention of Cockersand, which seems confined to this period of uncertainty, may have been adopted in deference to the Leicester objections. It suited a site on the verge of Pilling Moss even better than the original one. That no abbey of Cockersand was recognized until Leicester withdrew its opposition seems fairly clear from the terms of the settlement arranged apparently in the sixth year of John (1204-5). Abbot Paul and the convent of Leicester granted to the canons of Cockersand 'locum in quo domus hospitalis de Kokersand sita est,' with permission to build an abbey and have an abbot. No tithes to Cockerham church were to be exacted from the site of the house, but this exemption was not to extend to any other land it might acquire within the parish. Cockersand undertook also not to acquire any further land within the manor of Cockerham. Subsequent disputes between the two abbeys over boundaries, tithes, pasture and pannage, and the administration of sacraments at Cockersand to parishioners of Cockerham, were the subject of compositions in 1230, 1242-5, 1340, and 1364. King John showed some favour to the canons. While the dispute with Leicester was still undecided he confirmed them (1201) in possession of the site of the hospital together with the pasture of Pilling. On 28 July, 1215, he granted them two plough-lands of his own demesne at Newbigging near Singleton in Amounderness, and freed them and their tenants from suit to shire and hundred courts, from pleas of murder, theft, hamsoken and forestel, and from every kind of tax, toll, and due. Three weeks later he confirmed some important gifts by Gilbert son of Roger FitzReinfred, the husband of the founder's daughter Heloise de Lancaster. These comprised Medlar in Amounderness, and the advowson of the parish church of Garstang. William, who became archdeacon of Richmond in 1217, gave permission for its appropriation to the abbey, reserving the power to ordain a perpetual vicarage. John le Remain, archdeacon of Richmond, ordained a vicarage apparently in 1245. In the bishop of Norwich's Taxation (1254) the rectory was assessed at £22, the vicar's portion at £5 6s. 8d. Thurstan Banaster gave to the canons the valuable advowson of Wigan between 1213 and 1219, but his gift does not seem to have taken effect. The advowson of Claughton was acquired in two moieties between 1216 and 1255 by grant of Godith of Kellet and her niece's son Roger of Croft, but though the abbey's right of presentation was successfully maintained against the widow of Roger's son in 1273, the advowson went back to the Crofts in the fourteenth century. The only advowson except Garstang (which the abbey held till the Dissolution) was obtained in the same period. Between 1206 and 1235 Robert son of Hugh, lord of Mitton, granted the right of presentation to its church, which stood on the Yorkshire side of the Ribble, part of the parish, however, being in Lancashire. In 1314 the abbey secured from Edward II at a cost of £40 license to appropriate the church to their own uses. Permission to serve the church by a secular or a regular priest, appointed or removed at the abbot's pleasure after the death or resignation of the existing vicar, was granted by Pope Boniface IX in 1396. During the thirteenth century down to the passing of the Mortmain Act in 1279, the abbey received an unusually large number of grants of land. It is calculated that on an average they amounted to forty or fifty a year, but they were mostly small parcels. Cockersand was one of the forty-eight houses whose abbots were summoned to the famous parliament of Carlisle in January, 1307, but this was probably a solitary summons and its head did not become a mitred abbot. The abbey suffered severely in the Scottish raid of 1316. Its assessment for tenths was reduced shortly after by five-sixths. Robert of Hilton, canon of the house, received a pardon in 1327 for the death of one of his brethren. In 1347 Robert of Carlton, then abbot, was accused of using violence to one John de Catterall. Catterall alleged that the abbot with four of the canons, a lay brother, and fourteen other persons had assaulted and maimed him; at Lancaster, and a commission of oyer and: terminer was granted. No record of its inquiry seems, however, to have survived. Troubles of another kind assailed the abbey from the middle of the fourteenth century. In 1363, owing to the ravages of the plague, a dispensation had to be obtained for several of the: canons to be ordained priests in their twenty-first year. Half a century later (1412) a permanent: dispensation to this effect for all their canons was. granted in consideration of the remote situation of the house, which at times made it difficult to find men prepared to receive the regular habit there. The sea continually wore away the walls, which protected its buildings. In 1378 the abbot and convent begged Richard II to confirm their charters without fine, in view of their poverty and the fact that ' each day they are in-, danger of being drowned and destroyed by the sea.' There is no evidence that their request was acceded to, but Pope Boniface in 1372 granted a relaxation for twenty years of a year and forty days of penance to all almsgivers to Cockersand, and in 1397 the king granted them the farm of the alien priory of Lancaster during the war with France at a rent of 100 marks a. year. With some difficulty and at an expense, as was afterwards alleged, of 500 marks they obtained possession, only to be turned out on the arrival of Henry IV. Their representations procured on 4 November, 1399, a grant of restitution of the profits for the year just ended, but a fortnight later it was revoked. Fear of violence from parties with whom they were in litigation induced them to obtain letters of protection from Henry in 1402. The three quarters of a century following is a blank in the history of the house. Fresh light comes with the election of a successor to Abbot Lucas in 1477; this was not accomplished without dissension, one of the canons being charged with inviting lay intervention. ( The state of the abbey during the last quarter of the fifteenth century is recorded with some fullness in the extant visitations of Richard Redman, bishop successively of St. Asaph, Exeter, and Ely, and visitor of the English province of the Premonstratensian order. These inquisitions were as a rule triennial and the records of eight such visitations of Cockersand between 1478 and 1500 are preserved. Until 1488 Redman detected nothing more reprehensible than some laying aside of the claustral mantle (capa) at meals, and garments girded high like those of travellers and labourers. The house was £100 in debt in 1478, but this had been paid off by 1484. Some relaxation of discipline was disclosed at the next. visitation in April, 1488. Redman excommunicated two apostate canons, forbade the brethren to reveal the secrets of the order and the plans of the house to great lords, or to use their influence to obtain promotion, and enjoined them to be satisfied with the food provided, attend all the hours, and refrain from wandering about the country. In December he was recalled to deal with two of the canons, William Bentham the cellarer and James Skipton the cantor and grain master, who were accused of breaking their vow of chastity. Bentham admitted his guilt, and Skipton, who denied the truth of the charge, could get none of his brethren to support him. The visitor imposed forty days' penance on both, and ordered Bentham to be removed for three years to Croxton Abbey, and Skipton for seven to Sulby Abbey in Northamptonshire. The term of banishment must have been relaxed in Skipton's case, for at the next visitation in 1491 he was cellarer, Bentham being sub-prior. Skipton afterwards became abbot. To prevent similar scandals in future Redman forbade drinking after compline, and the employment of women to carry food to the infirmary or refectory. The evil of evening drinking was not, however, rooted out, for in 1500 the bishop attributed various diseases from which a number of the brethren were suffering, to inordinate potations and sitting up after compline. In 1494 Thomas Poulton, who had been cantarist at Tunstall, was found guilty of two cases of incontinence, and in 1500 Robert Burton and Thomas Calet were removed from their stalls for some offence not stated. Burton was afterwards restored. The visitations reveal a number of minor disorders—disobedience to the abbot, lingering in bed during mattins, neglect of services on pretext of illness, frequenting of weddings, fairs, and other secular assemblies, and the wearing over the white habit of a black garment with black or various-coloured ' liripipes' or streamers. In 1497 the canons were forbidden to exchange opprobrious or scandalous charges or to draw knives upon one another. There are no means of deciding how general such derelictions were, but comparison with the visitations of 1478 and 1481 leaves a decided impression that the tone of the community had altered for the worse in the interval. In the reign of Henry VII Edward Stanley, Lord Monteagle, held its stewardship with those of Furness and Cartmel, and the office passed to his son and successor. The pressure brought to bear upon the monasteries by the crown and its agents for some time before the Dissolution is illustrated by a letter in which Abbot Poulton excuses himself to Cromwell from preferring his nominee Sir James Layburn to certain lands in the manor of Ashton on the ground that the heirs of the late occupants claimed to hold by tenant-right. Doctors Legh and Layton made a serious charge against two of the canons, but this was not corroborated by the royal commissioners under the Act of Suppression, who visited the abbey at the end of May, 1536. They reported that the prior and twenty-one canons, all of them priests, were of honest conversation and desirous to continue in religion. Two of them served chantries at Tunstall and Middleton, and two others acted as proctors for the abbey at its appropriate churches of Mitton and Garstang, but all four could be recalled to the monastery. No mention is made of the lay brothers (conversi) who occur at an earlier period, unless they were the five, 'poor aged and impotent men' whom the foundation required to be kept at the abbey. Ten other poor men were provided with bed and board daily for charity. The total cost was £22 7s. 4d. a year. There were two persons living in the house by purchase of corrodies; one of these, bought in 1507 for ten marks, cost the abbey half that sum yearly. Its staff of servants numbered fifty-seven, of whom nineteen were officers of the household, ten waiting servants, and eleven hinds of husbandry. The wages bill for a year was £46 16s. 8d. The income of the abbey as ascertained for the purposes of the tenth in 1535 was well under the limit of £200 fixed by the Act of February, 1536, which empowered the crown to dissolve the smaller monasteries. But the Commissioners raised the valuation to not far short of £300, and this, coupled with their report of the good state of the house, doubtless induced the king to use the discretion conferred upon him by the Act of Suppression and allow Cockersand to continue. It was not until 29 January, 1539, that the house was surrendered by Abbot Poulton and his twenty-two canons. Two months later the site, with the demesne lands and the rectory of Garstang, was leased for twenty-one years to John Burnell and Robert Gardiner at a rent of £73 6s. 8d. John Kitchen of Hatfield, Hertfordshire, farmer of the monastery from 1539, bought the site and demesne from the crown on 1 September 1543, for £700. (fn. 60) By the marriage of his eldest daughter Anne to Robert Dalton of Thurnham Hall it passed to that family, in whose possession it still remains. The abbey was dedicated to St. Mary. As already stated its original endowment was largely augmented during the thirteenth century by numerous gifts of land and rents. A considerable portion of these were in Amounderness, but extensive acquisitions were made in the other Lancashire hundreds, and in the adjoining counties of Cumberland, Westmorland, Chester, and York. The donations usually consisted of small parcels, but there were some important exceptions. In the early years of the abbey Adam de Dutton gave it a moiety of the village of Warburton with other lands in Cheshire for the foundation of a cell in connexion with the church of St. Werburgh at Warburton. Abbot Roger, before 1216, resigned to Geoffrey son of Adam all but eight oxgangs of land in Warburton, for confirmation in which latter he undertook to find a chaplain to minister for Adam's soul. There seem still to have been canons there in the middle of the century, but in 1271 the abbey sold all its rights to the second Geoffrey de Dutton for the sum of eighty marks. Among its Westmorland grants was one of half the township of Sedgewick by Ralph de Beetham between 1190 and 1208. In Amounderness Gilbert son of Roger Fitz Reinfred granted the vill of Medlar, one plough-land; Adam de Lee before 1212 gave a moiety of the vill of Forton; and the remaining moiety, with the lordship of the whole, was acquired prior to 1272. William de Lancaster III bestowed four oxgangs of land in Garstang on his deathbed in 1246. South of the Ribble Elias son of Roger de Hutton gave the whole township of Hutton, comprising three plough-lands in the parish of Penwprtham, between 1201 and 1220, and about the middle of the century Westhoughton in Salford Hundred was conveyed to the abbey in several portions. Sir Edmund de Nevill, kt., gave a third of the manor of Middleton in Lonsdale in 1337 to endow a chantry there, which was served by one of the canons. These estates were managed by eleven bailiffs and the stewards of Hutton and Westhoughton, in addition to the abbey steward, a post occupied by Thomas Stanley, Lord Monteagle, a receiver and a court steward. The rent-roll of the house in 1535 was estimated at £145 5s. 11½d. and the total annual value of its temporalities at £182 8s. 8½d. From spiritualities a revenue of £45 16s. 8d. accrued. The expenses were £70 11s. 4d., leaving a net income of £157 14s. 0½d. But the commissioners of 1536 must have thought this estimate unduly low, for they raised it far higher than in the case of any other monastery they visited. They put the net income at £282 7s. 7½d. The indebtedness of the house was £108 9s. 8d. Its bells and lead were worth £126 13s. 4d. and its movable goods £217 5s. 1d. In common with the other English houses of the order Cockersand was subject to visitation by the abbot-general of Prémontré or his commissary, and until the beginning of the fourteenth century its abbots were required to attend the annual general chapter held at the mother house and to pay their share of any tax imposed for the benefit of the order in general and Prémontré in particular. It was placed in the northern of the three circuits into which the English abbeys were divided for purposes of visitation and taxation. The Statute of Carlisle, however, in 1307 forbade the payment of tallages to foreign houses, and the English abbots demanded relief from the burden of annual attendance at Prémontré, and its abbot's yearly visitations of their province. After a lengthy dispute, which was carried to Rome, Abbot Adam de Crecy in 1315 absolved the abbots from personal attendance at the general chapter, consented to reduce the burden of visitation and to limit the calls for contributions to necessary collections approved by their representatives at the chapter. Henceforth the abbot of Prémontré seems to have executed his visitorial powers at longer intervals through a commissary who was one of the abbots themselves. In 1496 Bishop Redman, abbot of Shap, who was then the abbot's visitor, informed the abbot of Cockersand that he intended to visit his monastery, arriving on 3 April if the tide served. He asked that someone should be sent to Lancaster the day before to provide lodgings for him and safe conduct inter maris. pericula to the abbey. The visitor of 1506 spent a night at Kendal at the expense of Cockersand, and his visitation lasted two days. More frequent visitations were made by the local visitors in each circuit. The abbot was expected to attend the provincial chapters of the order, which were usually held in some town in the Midlands. The Premonstratensian Canons: This branch of the Canons Regular was established by St. Norbert in A.D. 1119 at a place called Prémontré, a lonely and desolate valley near Laon in France. Their founder gave them the Rule of St. Augustine, and they became known either as Premonstratensians, from their first foundation, or Norbertines, from their founder. The habit of these canons was white, with a white rochet and even a white cap, and for this reason they were frequently known as White Canons. Besides following the ordinary Augustinian Rule, these Canons made Prémontré into a “mother-house,” and the abbot of Prémontré was abbot-general of the entire Order : having the right to visit, either by himself of deputy, every house of the congregation ; to summon every superior to the yearly General Chapter ; and to impose a tax for the use of the Order upon all the houses. This, so far as England is concerned, lasted in theory until A.D. 1512, when all the English houses were placed under the abbot of Welbeck. Previously they had been for more than thirty years supervised on behalf of the abbot of Prémontré, by Bishop Redman, who also continued to hold the office of abbot of Shap. In England, just before the dissolution, there were some thirty-four houses of the Order. What happened to Cockersand Abbey? Cockersand Abbey fell victim to Henry VIII’s monastic reforms, otherwise known as ‘The Dissolution’ – or, to put it another way, the legalized plundering all the land and goods from religious establishments for his own back pocket. It wasn’t the only abbey to succumb to the subjugation, of course, all the other monastic houses of England and Wales ending up much the same way. Cockersand Abbey had started life in the twelfth century as an infirmary, developed over time into a windswept, religious hostel for peasants, and had also dabbled in local cattle farming around the Wyre during the course of its four hundred year history. Fifteen of its residents, according to Brian Marshall’s excellent book ‘Lancashire’s Mediaeval Monasteries’ were ‘poor men who were given bed and board of the charity of the house.’ A further ten lived outside the abbey, but still relied on the charity of the monks, and a final five, known as ‘corrodians’ (for reasons never explained, unfortunately), lived on site ‘by arrangement with the abbot having paid in advance.’ In 1529, not long before Henry’s assault, a certain Robert and Marie Lounde of Skerton, apparently, reached an agreement with the abbot so that they could live at Cockersand Abbey, for life, for the sum of five pounds, six shillings and eight pence annually. In return for this payment they were given their own house, which was nice, as much ‘torf’ as they could eat (torf being blocks of dried peat to put on the fire, as anybody who’s been reading this board for the last few years will no doubt tell you), a ‘milk cow provided by the abbey’ (presumably for milk rather than as a pet), eight white loaves, eight grey loaves (which were similar to brown loaves but, presumably, not as brown, and similar to white loaves, but a bit more grey), six bottles of ale (which doesn’t seem much, I have to be honest), ‘victuals and meat from the kitchen daily,’ and ‘flesh and fish at noon and night as appropriate.’ (For ‘flesh’ read ‘more meat’ and stop being so saucy.) All in all it seemed like a bargain. Unfortunately their idyllic, if not windswept, lifestyle was cut short abruptly ten years later when the abbey was surrendered to the crown and dismantled piece by piece. Despite owning land all over the Wyre, Cockersand Abbey, allegedly, wasn’t actually rich. As Brian Marshall informs us: “Under the provisions of the Act of Suppression of 1536, any house with an income below £200 per year was to be closed…Cockersand, with a net income of one hundred and fifty seven pounds fourteen shillings and half a penny fell clearly within the group.” The abbey, however, managed to earn itself a last minute reprieve through what appears to have been some creative accounting. (It’s amazing how account books can seemingly rewrite themselves when the taxmen aren’t looking.) According to an article entitled ‘The Abbey of St. Mary of the Marsh at Cockersand, by John Swarbrick’, published in the 1923 Transactions of the Lancashire and Cheshire Historical Society: “…the canons contended successfully that their income exceeded £200 and that consequently their house could not legally be dissolved as a lesser monastery.” In actual fact, following the initial assessment, the income seems to have leapt to a much more impressive two hundred and eighty two pounds, seven shillings and eight pence annually, making it (perhaps surprisingly all matters considered) the third richest religious establishment in Lancashire, beaten only by Furness and Whalley. Unfortunately, Henry hadn’t finished yet. A further act of Parliament in 1539 (which effectively finished off every last monastery in Britain) brought Cockersand to its monastic knees. On January the 29th of that year, Robert Poulton (the abbot), along with twenty-two canons, signed the official document of surrender in return for a pension, and almost four centuries of ecclesiastical history was ended in a single stroke. Or rather twenty-three strokes. The place was demolished and the red sandstone blocks carted off…mainly, it ought to be said, by opportunistic landowners who hadn’t held much chuck with the monks in the past. Even today ornate carvings and dressed stone blocks that once constituted the abbey can still be seen incorporated into the outbuildings of local farms. How Cockersand Abbey and other lands come into the hands of the Dalton family of Thurnham. The below John Kitchen, whose daughter Ann, married Robert Dalton in 1554, received all of her fathers lands when he died in 1562. John Kitchen (1507-1562) of Hatfield, Herts. and Pilling, Lancashire, son of William Kitchen by daughter of Richard Preston of Bailrigg, Lancashire. married (1) Agnes, daughter of William Clerke of Hatfield, (2) Jane, illegit. daughter of Sir John Towneley of Towneley. Lancashire, widow of Roger Dalton of Bispham, Lancashire. John Kitchen's family had formerly been tenants of Premonstatensian abbey of Cockersand and were probably yeomen. His first marriage bought him an interest in Hertsfordshire, but despite his offices in that county, he remained attached to Lancashire and in particular to Cockersand. In 1528 he is described as proficuus et perutilis consolator to Cockersand, and ten years later, when Cockersand, in anticipation of suppression, granted out two thirds of its estates on favourable leases, he received a 99-years lease of the manors of Cunscough and Forton. In the same year he shared with Sir William Paulet a grand of the next presentation to Cockersand's impropriated benefice of Garstang, and when the benefice fell vacant in 1545 he presented Richard Preston, an ex-canon of Cockersand and perhaps his kinsman. In March 1538 Kitchen was appointed receiver of the lands of Whalley Abbey, Lancashire, now in the King's hands, with fees of £10 a year and 20s. on every £100 he paid in; this office he later surrendered in return for an annuity of 20 marks. When Cockersand was dissolved by officials of the court of augmentations, Kitchen assisted them and was made receiver there under the canons. Whalley passed into the custody of the court of general surveyors and some years later Kitchen names appeared on a list of officials of that court. In March 1543 he received a 21-year lease of former Whalley properties in Cheshire and Lancashire at a rent of £50 13s.5d., and the following September he purchased for £798 the site and demesne lands of Cockersand, including a grange of 1,000 acres called Pilling. In addition to these monastic windfalls, Kitchen secured in or about 1535 a lease of the rectory of Wigan from the rector Richard Kighley at a rent of £106. Described by Richard Kighley as 'a shrewed and wily lawyer, who made a good living out of church property'. Kitchen was named to the Lancashire bench from the mid 1540's until his death in 1562. http://archive.skyworks.co.uk/footage/cockersand-abbey-ruins-much-left3.html Quoted from: http://services.english-heritage.org.uk/ResearchReportsPdfs/055-2009WEB.pdf “The abbey was in ruins by 1727, but in 1750 the chapter house was renovated by the Dalton family and subsequently used by them as a mausoleum until 1861”. The only door into Cockersand Abbey Chapter House This building called Chapter House at Cockersand Abbey was used for many years as a tomb for the Thurnham Hall Dalton family. It seems the entire family of John Dalton (1747-1837) is buried inside Chapter House. Just how many others and their names, we are looking for. Quoted from the Dalton’s of Thurnham Hall: “Their son Robert Dalton, who succeeded to the estates, died in 1785, and was buried at Cockersand Abbey. He was married three times. By his first wife, Cecilia Butler (who died in 1749), he had a son, John, who succeeded him, and other children. By his second wife, Elizabeth Demsey, who was buried at Cockersand, he had several children, who, with one exception, all died without issue. That exception was Elizabeth, who had a daughter, who died at the age of 14, and was buried at Cockersand.” Arthur Whittaker in cow pasture at the ruins of Cockersand Abbey Rodney Dalton and his new friend at the ruins of Cockersand Abbey	10/18/2010	Rodney G.

The Story of George Franklin Dalton - A Marysville, Utah Gold Miner Researched, complied & edited by Rodney G. Dalton from sources on the world wide web and his personal database This is a story not only about one of our own Dalton's, but also about the history of Marysville, Utah and the gold miners that was very much a part of it early history. One of George Franklin Dalton's gold mines in Bullion Canyon outside Marysville George Franklin Dalton was born, 22 November 1856, at Cove Fort, Beaver, Utah. He was the son of Charles Wakeman Dalton & Elizabeth Ann Heskett Allred. He married his first wife, Mary Elizabeth Giles about 1881 in Fort Harmony, Washington Co. Utah. He was married on May 25th, 1911, to Alice Marie Hall. Their children: 1. Georgia Rose Dalton, born 18 May 1912, at Marysville, Piute, Utah. 2. Dale McDonald Dalton, born 1 October 1916, at Marysville, Piute, Utah. George Franklin died on 3 November 1920. He is buried in one of the Marysville cemeteries. He was an LDS church member. In 1900, trains came to Marysville. Bullion Canyon changed as well. Transportation costs fell enormously, and previously marginal bodies of ore became profitable. Even before the rails reached Marysville itself, the prospect of improved transportation stimulated further exploration and prospecting. As a result of this prospecting, some remarkable claims were discovered in the 1890s. In 1892 the Angel mine and the Apex #1 claims were patented. In 1893 the rich Wedge claim was patented. In 1899, the Bully Boy #2 was patented. In the 1890s, George Frank Dalton uncovered one of the most exciting strikes in the canyon. The Dalton mine yielded between $100,000-$200,000 in gold and silver. George Dalton was transformed from an average prospector to a wealthy man who lived in a luxurious Salt Lake City home, bought a race horse, and lit his cigars with twenty dollar bills. Tunnel after tunnel was driven to discover more gold in the claim after the rich vein ran out, but by 1900 hope had died. 18 September 1903: Geo. Romney Jr., of the Gold Vein company arrived from Salt Lake on Sunday 's train, and with G.F. Dalton who arrived Saturday evening, will arrange to get the Wedge ore down to the Dalton mill. In pursuance of that object they made a trip to Monroe on Monday. 18 September 1903: Mgr. G.F. Dalton came down from the Wedge yesterday and reports the ore as increasing in width, and holding its own in values. 25 September 1903: Mrs. G.F. Dalton, Miss Para , Frank and Ralph Dalton arrived from Salt Lake Friday evening and are domiciled at the Grand; Mr. Dalton took the boys for an outing to the Wedge. 25 September 1903: Mr. G.F. Dalton will make an examination of some ground in the Horse Heaven country in a few days for outside capitalists. 14 October 1905: Franklin Dalton is conducting a campaign on the Twin Peak properties at Marysville and reports that considerable capital is coming into his section and anticipates active development next season. 13 April 1916: Geo. F. Dalton is now putting the Shamrock in shape for shipping ore in t he near future having made no shipments for nearly one-year. He has been developing the Piute Chief joining the Shamrock. These were the early shippers in the camp and gave shipping values from the grass roots. It shipped for several years. There has been no shipping done for a year on account of development work. The snow slides have been cleared aw ay and shipping will start in the near future. Dalton was the locator of the Dalton mine and shipped from it in the 90's $376,000 worth of ore, to the nearest rail point, Manti and later Salina. 20 April 1916: G.F. Dalton is still pushing the work on the Shamrock. 4 May 1916: G.F. Dalton and family have moved to the Shamrock mine for the summer, where Mr. Dalton will take charge of the work, and push it to a point where shipments can be made, which will no doubt be soon. There is about 1,800 tons of shipping ore on the dump. 5 September 1918: Of Marysville; real property on delinquent tax list to be redeemed or sold on 16 December 1918. 1918-19: Farming 1 acre (value: $175), at Circleville. 1920: Living at Marysville.

Surrounding mountain peaks soar more than 12,000 feet above sea level. Pine Creek descends through the gorge, losing more than 2,000 feet of elevation until it merges with the Sevier River about four miles west of the canyon. At the confluence sits the town of Marysville at 6,000 feet. Vegetation ranges from stands of aspen, ponderosa pine, and Douglas fir on the north-facing canyon slopes to sage brush at the foot of the mountains. Indians of the Fremont culture inhabited the region about a thousand years ago, leaving little but petro glyphs and pottery shards. Ute and Paiute roamed the area by the eighteenth century. The first Europeans to discover the Tushars were Spaniards, seeking gold. An arrastra stone, used in crude milling of gold ore, still lies next to Pine Creek, providing mute testimony of early mining. Jedediah Smith, the first American to see the Tushar Mountains, probably saw only their western slope. Not until the 1850s did Mormons pass through the area. The history of Bullion Canyon is a history of mining. From the first rush in 1868 until the mines died out a hundred years later, men sought precious metals in the gorge. While the motive that drew men to live in the canyon remained the same, the character of the settlements over time changed radically, Initially wild and unrestricted, canyon settlements grew increasingly civilized as families formed. In the summer of 1856, George A Smith, the Second Counselor to President Brigham Young, explored south-central Utah, following the Sevier river until he encountered a winding canyon just south of the confluence of Clear Creek and the Sevier. Probably to avoid that twisting obstacle, Smith ascended what is no known as Monroe Divide and became the first recorded member of the Mormon community to look down on the valley at the eastern foot of the Tushars. His glance took in the ribbon of green cottonwood foliage that spilled out of the Tushars and merged into the larger lush strand that marked the course of the Sevier. Smith and his party camped at the confluence of the mountain stream and the Sevier. During a stay of several days, the group engaged in revelry that culminated in a “stag dance”. Smith named the locale “Merry Vale” after the festive mood of his men. In time, the name was changed to Marysville. Among Smith’s party was a tough frontiersman, Sylvester Hewitt, who had been present at the initial discovery of gold in the Sacramento Valley in 1848. Hewitt was a member of the Mormon Battalion and a competent, daring prospector. While at “Merry Vale” Hewitt panned Pine Creek and found traces of gold dust. Word did not spread as rapidly as it might have elsewhere. Mormon leader Brigham Young discouraged prospecting and mining, because he believed his people should first establish themselves in agriculture and other stable enterprise. Consequently, Smith tried to prevent the news from being spread by demanding silence from the party. Historically, the discovery of gold has been a notoriously difficult secret to keep. In 1868. Lieutenant Jacob Hess and Ebenezer Hanks, probably having heard of Hewitt’s discovery, rode into the Marysville country in search of gold. They found color in Pine Creek and tried sluicing to extract the metal from creek gravels, but the concentrations were too small to be profitable. The men were earning only a dollar a day. Hess and Hanks were not easily discouraged. They followed Pine Creek upstream hoping to discover the source of the dust, entering what would be later known as Bullion Canyon. On the south side of the canyon, opposite Beecher Ridge, they found a large quartz outcropping with ore assaying at $100 per ton. The site became the Webster mine and was the initial stimulus for Bullion Canyon’s first boom. In 1868 Bullion Canyon and the surrounding country, comprising about 100 square miles, were organized into the Ohio Mining District. By 1872, several hundred people were living in the Canyon. In 1873 Bullion City became the county seat. Extraction of the gold proved a complex and expensive affair. Ore produced by the miners had to be smelted before it could be transformed into bullion. When the Webster lode was discovered there were probably no smelters in Utah Territory. Even if there had been a smelter in Salt Lake City, it would have taken a month for a team of oxen, and two weeks for horses, to transport a wagonload of ore from the mines to Salt Lake and back. Transportation was not the only expense, however. Until 1884, mining a ton of ore in Utah cost about ten dollars, including the work that preceded the actual extraction. By 1883, there were seventeen smelting and reduction works in Utah territory. At these smelters, silver ore was valued at New York prices. Five percent of the price paid for the ore was deducted for loss in smelting. Ten to twelve dollars per ton was charged for smelting, sixteen to eighteen dollars was charged for refining, and around $25 per ton was then charged for shipment of the bullion to New York. Expenses like these encouraged claim owners to construct their own milling and smelting works. Unfortunately, such projects required considerable capital. Ore reduction mills generally cost about a thousand dollars per stamp, an amount usually out of reach of a lone prospector with his shovel, pick, and pan. Consequently, during the first rush, the small-time prospector in Bullion Canyon often made his profit by selling his claim to someone with the necessary capital to develop the lode. For example, on October 21, 1871, Ash Stewart, William Stewart, and Luther Rimsey sold their claims in the Illinois, Bully Boy, Daniel Webster, Baltic, and Golden Curry lodes in Bullion Canyon for $3,000. Necessity is the mother of invention, but not always of success. In 1870, Frank E. King, an influential pioneer in the first rush of miners, bought materials for a crude smelter. He purchased bricks in Beaver City and hauled them about 100 miles to Bullion Canyon. As the crow flies, Beaver City is only 35 miles away, but the rugged Tushar range demanded the roundabout route. King’s smelter was extremely simple. The brick structure, with an area of 4 feet by 4 feet, was reinforced with large rocks. Fueled by charcoal, the smelter was slow and inefficient. Nevertheless, the first batch of bullion prompted a celebration from the miners. Apparently it was at this time that Pine Canyon was renamed “Bullion Canyon.” In 1872, eastern capital brought heavy machinery to the Canyon to reduce the ore. The Piute Mining and Milling Company, organized in Chicago, arranged for a two-stamp mill with a ten-horsepower “donkey engine” to be erected in the canyon, probably to service the Webster lode. That the mill was a failure is certain, but the reasons given vary from mechanical faults to an inability to adequately reduce the complex ore of the canyon. In any case, with the failure of the Piute Mills major slump in mining development occurred. As high grade ore at the “grass roots” level began to diminish, some prospectors turned to agriculture or raising cattle in the Marysville valley. Population in the canyon declined between 1873 and 1878. In 1878, George T. Henry and Joseph Smith drifted into the Marysville area from the silver mines at Silver Reef. While deer hunting just a few miles south of Bullion Canyon, Smith stumbled onto a rich vein of gold ore exposed on a deer trail. This strike drew away much of the canyon’s remaining miners, sounding the death knell of the first era of mining by the banks of Pine Creek. Mining at this time was rugged, particularly the hard rock mining of the Ohio Mining District. Miners tried to follow surface ore veins into the mountains by blasting tunnels. To properly set off a charge, a hole three feet deep and about 1 ¼ inches in diameter was drilled into the solid rock for each stick of dynamite desired. Using a steel two feet in length, and a four-pound sledge hammer, the miner began drilling. After each hammer blow, he rotated the steel ¼ turn, preventing a mere notch from being formed. Periodically the miner stopped to remove the pulverized rock dust that built up in the hole with an adapted metal spoon. Longer steels were used as the hole became deeper. It was estimated that one man could drill one foot per hour through the typical rock of the Gold Mountain Mining District. Two men might work together as a “doublejack” team, one man holding the steel and the other swinging a long-handled ten-pound sledgehammer. Such a team usually drilled about two feet per hour, and drilled holes six feet deep. Several holes were needed for a “round”, each hole holding a dynamite stick. The miner cut his fuses in lengths needed to detonate the sticks in an important sequence. Often, the bottom two charges exploded last, hurling shattered rock into the tunnel. Appropriately, these last two charges were called “lifters.” The debris was “mucked out” into ore cars running on iron rails. Miners or mules pushed or pulled these cars to the surface. Horses were rarely used, as they tended to hit their heads on the supporting wooden beams of the tunnel’s ceiling. Before the introduction of carbide lamps some years after the turn of the century, work was done by candlelight. Miners lived far from luxury, security, and civilization. In 1870, the railroad extended to Salt Lake City. By 1879, the nearest railhead was in Juab, necessitating a 150-mile trip by wagon for supplies brought to Marysville. Such distances resulted in high prices for imported goods. Tobacco, for example cost $5 for a “large slab.” This was a huge sum since 40 years later miners in the Gold Mountain Mining District were earning only $3 a day. Furthermore, miners were often uneasy at the possibility of Indian attacks. In April of 1865, conflict broke out between whites and a band if Utes under Chief Blackhawk in nearby Sanpete County. Over the next three years more than fifty Mormons were killed, and many towns in southern Utah territory were abandoned. Sporadic Ute raids continued until 1873. Also, in 1873, Paiutes were encouraged to relocate to the Ute reservation. Facing bleak prospects on their current reservation in southern Nevada as well, many Paiutes simply vanished into the mountains of southern Utah. LaPreal Nielsen recalls her grandfather, Frederick Hamel, an early prospector of the Ohio Mining District, telling of being run out of the area by Indians, probably sometime between 1869 and 1872. As late as 1879, men around Bullion Canyon still wore side arms, at least ostensibly because of their fear of Indians. Miners lived in log cabins, sometimes sharing them with another miner and always sharing them with rats. Canvas tents were also probably used during the summer. Between 1870 and 1880 the population in Piute County grew from 82 to 1,651 people. Marysville precinct had 297 people in 1880, a population that was ethnically homogenous. Out of 1,651 people in 1880, only 122 were non-white - 120 of the latter being Indian. The majority of early miners were born in the United States. In 1870, 54 of the 82 people in Piute county were native-born. A further breakdown of the 1880 population reveals that 1065 residents of the county were native to Utah territory, with only 312 foreigners present. Immigrants from Sweden, Norway, and the British Isles made up the largest percentage of the foreign born, but gold also attracted men from very different backgrounds. For example, Frederick Hamel was among 15 French-Canadians from Montreal who came to Bullion Canyon. The gorge became a melting pot of cultures. The personal backgrounds of these men varied, but all were tough. Ebenezer Hanks is a good example. Hanks was a sergeant in the Mormon Battalion, an Indian fighter, and a former miner in California in ’49 and ’50, where he reputedly did quite well. Born in Wisconsin in 1843, James A. Stark came to Bullion Canyon in 1872 after spending time around South Pass, Wyoming. Thomas Calaway came early to the area, a Confederate veteran of the Civil War. Lieutenant Jacob Hess was also a Confederate veteran. After the Deer Trail boom in ’78, many miners from Silver Reef drifted into the Marysville area. The vast majority of these men were not greenhorns. In their late 20s to mid-30s, they had already lived on the edge for a number of years. They were described as wandering prospectors, drifting from mountain range to mountain range looking for an elusive bonanza. Many of them were new to Utah upon arriving in Bullion Canyon. The canyon was a raw environment, with “whiskey, gambling, and even worse,” until at least the mid ‘70s. Gun-toting miners, combined with whiskey and gambling, created an explosive social environment. In the ‘70s, the nearest federal court headquarters was west of the Tushar mountains in Beaver, which made official justice slow and expensive to administer. In one instance of assault with a deadly weapon, local law officials banished the offender to avoid the inconvenience and expense of a trail over the mountains. By the 1880s Bullion Canyon was a ghost of its former self. Isolated and sporadic development continued but not on the scale of previous years. The quality of the known ore deposits simply did not justify transportation and refining expenses. As many lodes became dormant, most of the single, wild, and reckless men of the mining camps left for other boom towns. Some moved to the Marysville valley, marrying, homesteading, and putting down roots. A few men who had done well in the first boom became influential leaders of the county. James Stark, for example, became the probate judge. By 1872, Jacob Hess was the county recorder. The growth of families, probably more than any other factor, changed the character of Marysville. Two of the major claims in Bullion Canyon, the Webster and Bully Boy (whose boundaries touch at one point), well reflect the history of mines throughout the canyon. After the discovery of the Webster lode, Hess and Hanks joined with Frank Murray, Jared Taylor, and other area prospects to develop the site. Working together, they mined and transported wagonloads of high-grade ore to Salt Lake City. Nevertheless, expenses crushed their business once ore quality dropped slightly. The shipments attracted the attention of two rich investors - a Mr. Chambers, and George Hearst, the father of Williams Randolph Hearst. Chambers and Hearst owned the fabulously lucrative Ontario mine in the Park Mining District, closer to Salt Lake. After sufficient inspection, they purchased the Webster and Bully Boy mines. Shipments were attempted, but soon the mines drifted into dormancy. In the ensuing years, Chambers and Hearst died. The only activity at the Webster in the ‘80s occurred when Tom Fergussen, who held a lease on the property, cleaned up easily accessible ore bodies in the mine at a tidy profit. Running the ‘90s, a Mr. Colbath came into possession of the mines. Running an 1800-foot long tunnel underneath some earlier encountered ore bodies, Colbath revealed large quantities of very rich ore with a few upraises. Excitement spread to the East, where the Bully Boy Mining Company was formed to take advantage of this alluring development. A mill two-and-a-half miles west of Marysville, previously used for the Copper Belt Mine, was relocated to Webster Flat in 1912, close to the mines. Probably built around 1879-80, the mill had ten stamps, for concentrating tables, and a large cyaniding unit, giving the mine a processing capacity of 150 tons per day. Because the cyaniding unit was completely mismanaged, the operation suffered. The manager, Jacob Young of Marysville, quit, and was replace by another local. Extremely poor quality ore was processed at the mill, reportedly because of ineptitude. Because of managerial ignorance, men excavated low quality ore, despite the presence of richer material nearby. In 1914, a fire provided the coup de grace of the operation, burning the mill into “blackened, bent and twisted” remains. At the turn of the century a new factor dramatically changed the region’s mining equation: the railroad steamed into Marysville. In 1889, ore still had to be shipped to Juab siding just south of Nephi, a long, expensive haul. In 1891, the Rio Grande Western Railroad constructed a spur line to Salina, reducing the distance to Marysville considerably, but still leaving roughly 50 miles from the rails to the Canyon. Richfield enticed the railroad with ten acres of land, and space for a depot and other buildings in town. The town also offered to construct the grading for the railroad through the city limits. The railroad accepted Richfield’s offer, and by June 1, 1896, the tracks extended into that town. By October 14, 1896, the tracks went all the way to Belknap, only miles north of Marysville. In 1900, trains came to Marysville. Bullion Canyon changed as well. Transportation costs fell enormously, and previously marginal bodies of ore became profitable. Even before the rails reached Marysville itself, the prospect of improved transportation stimulated further exploration and prospecting. As a result of this prospecting, some remarkable claims were discovered in the 1890s. In 1892 the Angel mine and the Apex #1 claims were patented. In 1893 the rich Wedge claim was patented. In 1899, the Bully Boy #2 was patented. In the 1890s, George Frank Dalton uncovered one of the most exciting strikes in the canyon. The Dalton mine yielded between $100,000-$200,000 in gold and silver. George Dalton was transformed from an average prospector to a wealthy man who lived in a luxurious Salt Lake City home, bought a race horse, and lit his cigars with twenty dollar bills. Tunnel after tunnel was driven to discover more gold in the claim after the rich vein ran out, but by 1900 hope had died. The strikes of the 1890s did not produce a boom as large as the first one. Indeed, for the first decade of the twentieth century not much happened in the canyon, perhaps because the majority of the holdings were “in the hands of poor men.” Litigation also seems to have stalled development. In October of 1896, the Wedge became snarled in a boundary conflict with another claim, forcing the lucrative mine into inactivity. Not until the Bully Boy Mining Co. began serious work in its claims did the Canyon start to hum again. The fire at the mill at Webster Flat slowed large-scale activity until once again eastern capital stepped in. On November 1, 1921, the Bully Boy Mines Corporation was organized in the State of Delaware, and this corporation ushered in a boom of roughly the same size as the first rush at Bullion Canyon. Work commenced in March 1922, and by July ore bodies were producing from $20-$200 per ton. This second boom had a fundamentally different character than its predecessor. Comparison between the two gold booms seems to demonstrate a thesis of David Courtwright’s Violent Land, and interpretation of violence on the American Frontier. The composition of frontier mining society created the high levels of violence characteristic of so many mining camps of the West, instead of some mysterious quality peculiar to the American Frontier. Two hundred unmarried, armed, young men with plenty of whiskey roamed Bullion Canyon in the first boom’s zenith. It is no wonder that the area was called “one of the wildest and woolliest places on earth.” The same canyon housed a similar sized population about fifty years later that was very different. Miners in the canyon of 1922 had many more trappings of civilization. Equipment, housing, transportation, education, even recreation were provided to the miners by the Corporation. By this time, hand-drilling had been abandoned in favor of jackhammers, and the company furnished Ingersoll-Rand jackhammers to its miners. Electrical power flowed from the 125 Kilowatt 2300 volt A.C. generator in the company’s power house. Steam boilers, air compressors, and water wheels developed by the Company supplied energy for ore extraction. By June of 1922, almost 200 people lived in the Canyon, including a number of families. Besides the tents necessary to house the burgeoning population, more permanent quarters were built. A limited number of family homes, with three rooms each, were constructed in a separate locale from the bachelor quarters. A bunk house capable of housing around 200 men and another, smaller bunk house with a 40-man capacity were built for single miners. In contrast to the extreme isolation of the 1870s, canyon residents in 1922 were linked to the outside world by telephone. A 7 ½ mile road connected Marysville to Bullion City, and the Company maintained the road in fairly good condition. Freight going from Marysville to Bullion City cost four dollars a ton, in the other direction, two dollars a ton. The company provided a club house with pool tables and a reading room stocked with newspapers and periodicals. A dance hall with a pavilion was constructed in 1922, as well as a baseball diamond for the Bully Boy baseball team. Even the uniforms were furnished by the Bully Boy Corporation. The miners earned standard industry wages for Utah. In 1911, the Sevier-Miller Coalition of nearby Gold Mountain Mining District paid miners $3 a day, mockers and mill hands $2.75 a day, and mechanics $4 a day. One can safely assume similar wages for residents of Bullion City. The Corporation charged individuals $1.05 per day for board. Mining activity in the Canyon declined significantly after 1923. Possibly ore bodies dwindled to below profitable levels. Perhaps extraction proved too expensive. In any case by 1938 Bullion Canyon’s major operation was the Iris Mining Company, worked by about 20 men. Small scale mining also continued on claims such as the Shamrock and the Cascade. There were still a few occupied cabins in the canyon, but most workers commuted from Marysville, about a 20-minute trip in the ‘30s. The more recent era at Bullion Canyon can be glimpsed through the recollections of men like T. J. Moore, who grew up there as children. Moore’s father mined in the Shamrock and Cascade operations of the late ‘30s. Grinding work still marked the life of the miner even then, although technology helped alleviate the burden to some degree. A miner’s day of work focused on getting “a round in, and a round out.” That is, shattered debris from the last shift’s blasting was mucked out, necessary timbering was installed, more track for the ore cars was laid if needed, and a new charge was detonated to finish the shift. Miners operated jackhammers to drill holes for the dynamite sticks. Noise during drilling prohibited communication. Drilling was a team effort - - one man (the actual “miner”) did the drilling while his “mucker” held the drill bit in place by hand. Slow bit rotation made this operation possible. Bits would be lengthened until the hole was 6 feet deep. During detonation, miners literally “held on to their hats,” as otherwise the concussion would send them and the attached carbide lights flying. Lingering gases in the tunnels often produced splitting headaches. Moore remembers many men placing rattlesnake rattles in their hatbands in an effort to ward off such headaches. Bullion Canyon became more than a realm of work and sweat. It became a realm of children, perhaps the ultimate change from the days of the first gold rush. As a child Moore straightened nails on ore dumps for his father underground. There was no need for formal recreational facilities. Children had a sparkling creek loaded with plenty of fish to catch. There were berries to pick, and or course always opportunities to get into mischief. Cal Baker, another resident of Marysville, grew up in the nearby mining town of Kimberly in the 30s. He remembers sledding, skiing with homemade skies made from barrel staves, and feasting on chokecherries and elderberries. Moore lived in Bullion Canyon only during the summers, and went to school the rest of the year in Marysville. Mining continued to decline, with fewer claims being worked during the 1930s and 40s. The value of the ore finally fell below the cost of mining, and custom milling facilities were closed. At the same time a nearby uranium boom drew away experienced miners by offering higher wages. The Great Western, the Iris, the Shamrock, and the Bully Boy, the last claims to continue mining, ceased production in the early 1950s. Today Bullion Canyon lies within the boundaries of Fish Lake National Forest. In 1993, the Passport in Time Program of the US Forest Service began field work in Bullion Canyon to develop an interpretive trail and exhibits. Archaeological research also began at the same time and continues during the summer. Currently the substantial ruins of the Bully Boy Mill, as well as many log cabins and mining structures, stand in the Canyon. Largely off the beaten track, the visitor who takes the time to travel up the dirt road into the Canyon still glimpses vestiges of the past. Bullion City At this stop, you can look across the bridge and upstream to the site of what was once the center of Bullion City. During it's heyday, the camp had dozens of buildings and over a thousand inhabitants on both sides of the creek. The 1881 census shows the pop. of the town as 1,651 souls but 10 years later, this figure had declined to 259. Life in gold camps like Bullion City was hard. Health conditions were poor and often there was no medicine. Lodgings were primitive, most miners lived in tents or crude shelters with walls of canvas, hides or rough-hewn planks. Mining for gold was hard, monotonous labor. It was frequently necessary to work long hours while knee-deep in mud or icy water. Mining laborers generally worked 10 hour shifts, 6 days a week with Saturdays off. Mining camps could also be dangerous places. Consider this account from a nearby mining camp by Merril Utley in The Ghosts of Gold Mountain 1992: Two miners by the names of R.J. Gibson and J. Jacobs] had been imbibing rather freely of the flowering bowl and got into a dispute over a gold claim... they mutually agreed to retire to the street and settle their differences... As they got into the street, they began pumping away at each other [with pistols] only a few feet apart. They both missed. Fire was another danger and could easily devastate a town made of wood and canvas. It is said that a fire storm raged up the dirt road by the bridge on the right side of the creek (north) destroying a number of shacks and cabins. Look across the bridge and up the north-facing slopes of the canyon. As you drive up the road beneath these slopes, look for islands of aspen surrounded by spruce and fir trees. These aspen trees, recognized by their light green leaves in summer, are what grew back after a 1923 fire that started at a mine. The Dalton Mill The clearing on the right side of the road (north) is where the main Boarding house is said to have stood. Little remains of the one-story, wood-frames buildings except for a few scattered artifacts. The clientele of the boarding hose were mostly single men who sought employment in the gold fields. In the late 1800's, the cost of staying in an accommodations like this could have been as high as $11 a week with meals priced from $0.50 to $1.00. With wages ranging between $2.00 and $4.00 a day for laborers, muckers (shovelers), timbermen, carmen and blacksmiths, most made only enough to provide the bare essentials. On the opposite side of the road, to the south and across the creek are the remains of the Dalton Mill (later renamed the Sylvester-Soderberg Mill). Built sometime before 1900, the only reminders of the mill are the concrete foundations, a large flat pile of tan-colored tailings and rusted equipment, which can be seen through the trees. When in operation the mill received ore from a narrow gauge railroad that entered the top of the building about 250 feet up the slope of the canyon. Fed by gravity, ore moved downhill where it was mechanically crushed and pulverized along the way. At the bottom of the plant, gold ore was concentrated and shipped to great Britain, and later to Salt Lake City, where a smelter would create pure bars of gold bullion. Mines using the mill included The Wedge, Bully Boy, and Dalton. You can watch a video of the “Canyon of Gold” in Piute County, Utah.	10/1/2010	Rodney G. Dalton, Utah
The History of Henry Clay Daulton Researched, complied & edited by Rodney G. Dalton from the World Wide Web. Henry Clay Daulton is a well-known figure from Madera County California's past. He was one of its organizers in 1893, as well as the chairman of its first Board of Supervisors. He is perhaps without peer in terms of his influence upon this part of California. A few years ago when Daulton was inducted into the Cowboy Hall of Fame, a biographical sketch was prepared in which his exploits on the California Trail were recounted. It was remembered that he came west from Missouri in 1853 with the Hildreth party, facing threats from Indians, cholera, and waterless deserts, until he reached San Gabriel Mission and ultimately settled in what is now Madera County. What was not included in the official biography was the fact that Daulton had already been to California in 1849, and it was this gold rush experience that gave him the dream that was to materialize into the Daulton Ranch of today. Henry Clay the first was born in 1829 in Maysville, Kentucky. His father, James, was experiencing economic difficulty, so when the baby was just a few months old the entire family - parents and seven children - boarded a flat boat and began the tedious trip to the mouth of the Ohio River. There they switched to a steamer and traveled up the Mississippi River to the frontier town of Hannibal, Missouri. In time, James Daulton purchased a 169-acre farm near Hannibal. The family pitched in, and it looked as if success was just around the corner. Three more boys were born, and the two girls both married well. Then, in 1842, when young Henry was just 13 years old, his oldest brother, Moses, died. Two years later, his sister, Louisa Mariah, was taken in death, and in two more years the family buried his mother, Naomi Wakeman Daulton. This two-year cycle of death continued when, in 1848, his father James Daulton passed away. The family was in crisis again. The Daulton farm was sold, as were the household belongings. When arrangements were made for the care of the three youngest boys, who ranged in age from eight to 16, Henry Clay Daulton began to look west. He would not be tied to Hannibal. Henry wasn't like his brother, John, who could be content with a small farming operation. He was different from his brother, William, who was interested in the quarrying of limestone and would someday become an accomplished plasterer. It wasn't enough for him to take up the trade of printing, as his brother Frank eventually did with his childhood chum, Samuel Clemens. Sister, Sabrina Ann, having married Thomas Winter, had her destiny fixed; however, Henry wasn't looking for that kind of security. He was more akin to his brother, Wakeman. Both young men had a reckless wanderlust that would soon take them far from home. In the same year that James Daulton died, an event of monumental significance took place in California. James W. Marshall discovered gold. The rush to the Land of Ophir was about to take place, and Henry Clay Daulton intended to be part of it. With his brother, Wakeman, Henry set out for California, expecting to make his fortune. Their wagon train took them over land through South Pass to the Humbolt Sink and then up the Truckee River to the mines near Hangtown (Placerville). There they found nothing but bitter disappointment. Everyone was not getting rich in California. The reports of gold nuggets lying on the ground were found to be exaggerated. The placer mining was difficult and unrewarding, and it was plain to the most casual observer that in a short time the huge mining companies would replace the colorful miners that dug in the gravel and stormed the saloons. Within two years after their arrival, Henry Clay and Wakeman Daulton were ready to return home. The sojourn in California, however, was not a complete economic waste of time. Henry could not help but notice that there were those who were benefiting from the gold rush: the storeowners, the saloonkeepers, and the hotel proprietors. As he and Wakeman boarded the "Republican" and sailed out of the Golden Gate for the Isthmus of Panama, an idea was churning; why not mine the miners? Why not return to Missouri, find some means to purchase livestock, and transport them to California? It was a perfect plan, and all that was needed was determination and a little luck. The rest is history, as they say. Daulton hooked up with the Hildreths, completed his second journey west, and established the first sheep and cattle ranch in what is now Madera County. It is a pity that after all that, and while at the zenith of his career, in 1893, he suffered a tragic, untimely, and mysterious death. More about Henry Clay Daulton: One of the earliest sheepmen of Fresno County was born in Marysville, Kentucky, on April 7, 1829. He was the eight of ten children. His grandfather was one of the first to volunteer to fight in the Revolutionary War and his father served in the war of 1812. Patriotism ran strong in his veins. His parents died when he was only fourteen years old. He was forced to find his own way in the world. On his twenty-first birthday, he and his brother were making their way across the plains with a team of oxen bound for California. The Gold Rush was well underway and on their arrival, the brothers tried their luck at mining in Placerville. After two years in the gold fields, he decided that it would be more profitable to supply food for the rapidly expanding population of the new state rather than mining of gold. He returned to the east, brought sheep and cattle and made his way back to California driving his stock before him. Coming with him was another sheep man, Jesse Hilfreth. The party arrived in Los Angeles in November 1852. They journeyed north. Hildreth established a ranch near what is known a Bates Station. The other gentleman located his ranch halfway between Raymond and Madera. In 1854, he married Hildreth’s daughter, Mary Jane. It was in this manner that Henry Clay Daulton arrived in Fresno County. He was not only one of the first sheep man, but also successfully worked to establish Madera County Board of Supervisors-a position he held until his death on October 28, 1893. The history of the great Central Valley would not be complete without remembering the contributions of one of her most honored pioneers - Henry Clay Dalton - by and standard a true legend of our valley. HENRY CLAY DAULTON. Especial interest attaches to the lives of men who, during the adventurous days following the discovery of gold in California, braved the dangers of deserts and mountains and in the midst of perils known and unknown made their difficult way toward the Pacific coast. Such a man was Henry Clay Daulton, the son of a soldier in the war of 1812, and the grandson of a Revolutionary soldier, from whom he inherited a steadfast courage and fearlessness of character. The eighth among ten children, he was born at Marysville, Ky., April 7, 1827, and in a childhood accompanied the family to the vicinity of Hannibal, Mo., where he grew to manhood. By the death of his parents when he was fourteen he was thrown upon his own resources for a livelihood at an age when most boys are unhampered by cares and responsibilities. Working in the employ of farmers he continued in the home neighborhood until after news had reached him concerning gold in the far west. Immediately he resolved to seek his fortune in the mines. April 7, 1850, with a brother, he started across the plains with ox-teams, arriving August 11, in what is now Placerville. For two years he prospected in northern mines, but deciding after a time he could reap larger profits from a stock business he returned east via Panama to purchase sheep and cattle for a stock ranch. While en route for home the ship, Republican, was wrecked in a storm and taken into port of Acapulco for repairs, thus delaying him for weeks. After a tedious delay he arrived at home and at once set about purchasing sheep and cattle. In 1853 he started across the plains with his stock, being accompanied by Thomas Hildreth, who later founded the town of Hildreth. The party arrived in Los Angeles early in November 1853, and for a few years he remained in the San Gabriel valley, but later settled on a farm twelve miles northeast of Madera, where he purchased a large tract of government land. At the San Gabriel mission, Los Angeles County, in 1854, was solemnized the marriage Of Henry C. Daulton and Mary Jane Hildreth, a daughter of Jesse, and sister of Thomas Hildreth, and who had accompanied the party across the plains. She is still residing at the old homestead in Madera County. Of her ten children five are living namely: Mrs. Ida Saxe, of Madera; John F., of Madera; Jonathan who is engaged in the sheep business in Madera County; Mrs. L. Mann of Oakland; and James Williams, living at Imperial, San Diego County. In 1854 Mr. Daulton was elected justice of the peace of Los Angeles and held the position until his removal from the County. In 1857 he settled on what is known as the Santa Rita Ranch in Fresno County, and later purchased the present homestead, which he call Shepherd’s Home. In 1860 he was elected to the office of supervisor of Fresno County, and held the position until 1875, when he declined re-election. However, three years later he was persuaded to accept the position again and served for one more term. At one time the American Party nominated him for the senate and he made an excellent race, although the party was numerically weak. When the subject of organizing Madera County was brought up he became a champion of the movement, and acted as chairman of the commissioners appointed to conduct the election which decided the proposed county division. At that election, May 29, 1893, he was elected a supervisor, and when the county was organized he was made chairman of the board, which position he was filling at the time of his death. Fraternally he was connected with the Lodge and Encampment of Odd Fellows and the Blue Lodge and Chapter of Masonry. There are few men whose influence has been felt throughout Madera County in a greater degree that that of Henry C. Daulton, and hi sudden and accidental death was widely mourned. October 28, 1893 when he was driving home from town, his horse ran away, and he was thrown from the cart, his foot catching in the shaft in such a manner that he was dragged a considerable distance. When found he was dead. His untimely death cast a gloom over the community which he had so long honored by his citizenship and whose growth had been so continuously fostered by his enterprise and progressive spirit. Guinn, J. M., History of the State of California and Biographical Record of the San Joaquin Valley, California, (Chicago: Chapman Publishing, 1905), page 120. JOHN F. DAULTON. In what is now the County of Madera, but was then a portion of Fresno County. J. F. Daulton was born January 24, 1862 being a son of the late Henry Clay Daulton, one of the most influential stockmen in this part of the state. The family possession ample means, he was given every advantage for obtaining an excellent education, and for a time studied in the Stockton Business College. From his father he inherited a fondness for stock and at an early age he selected stock-raising for his life work. At the age of twenty-two he started out for himself as a sheep-raiser in Madera County and from a small beginning accumulated a large flock in later years. Upon the death of is father in 1893 J. F. Daulton took charge of the estate and has since maintained a close supervision of the ranch and the stock. To promote the interests of the family, in 1898 he incorporated the Daulton Ranch Company, of which he is president and manager. In the ranch there are seventeen thousand acres, all under fence and supplied with water by means of flowing springs. Of the entire tract four thousand acres are under cultivation, mostly in grain, while the remainder of the land is utilized as pasture for the stock. In sheep he makes a specialty of the Merino breed and at this writing has about eight thousand head on the ranch. In 1889 he moved from the ranch into Madera, where he has since made his home, but his residence in town has never interfered in any respect with the close supervision he maintains of the ranch and stock. The Marriage of Mr. Daulton in San Jose united him with Addie M. Raynor, who was born in Connecticut and came to California with her father W. M. Raynor, who was the owner of twelve thousand acres in Merced, Mariposa and Madera Counties. The family of Mr. and Mrs. Daulton comprises four children namely: Hazel, Raynor, McErland, Henry Clay and Erma. Mrs. Daulton is a member of the Presbyterian Church and the family is attendants upon its services. From the time of his attaining his majority Mr. Daulton has voted and worked with the Republicans. Formerly he was a member of the Republican County Central Committee. As the nominee of his party, in 1898 he was elected Supervisor of the third district of Madera County for a term of four years, and during this time the Courthouse was planned and completed. His fraternal relations include membership in the Masonic Lodge No. 280, F. & A.M., of Madera; Independent Order of the Odd Fellows, in which he is past grand of the local lodge; Ancient Order of United Workmen at Madera, and the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks at Fresno. Guinn, J. M., History of the State of California and Biographical Record of the San Joaquin Valley, California, (Chicago: Chapman Publishing, 1905), page 598. HENRY CLAY DAULTON Henry Clay Daulton, pioneer of Fresno and Madera counties, was the founder of a family that is written large in the history of this region. The first Daulton lived in the area of Fresno and of Madera counties from 1857 to his death in 1893. During that time he was a member of the Fresno county board of supervisors for fifteen years, was chairman of the commission appointed by the governor to organize Madera County and was elected a member of the first board of supervisors of Madera. H. C. Daulton was born in 1829 in Kentucky, descendent of a family whose men fought in the wars of the Revolution and of 1812. His parents removed while he was an infant to the region of Missouri made famous by Mark Twain. When he was just 21, he crossed the plains by ox team, 1850, and mined in Eldorado County. Observing the need of better cattle in California, he returned East by way of Panama in 1852, and then drove cattle to California. He located first in the San Gabriel valley, in the southern part of the state, and there married Mary Jane Hildreth, daughter of Jesse Hildreth. In 1851, they came to Fresno County. In the years that ensued, Mr. Daulton accumulated an area of 18,000 acres on the Fresno River above what is now the City of Madera, the noted Daulton ranch. In spite of many changes, 12,000 acres of this still remain in the hands of members of the family. Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Daulton had ten children. Of these, John Francis Daulton was particularly active in maintaining the family traditions. He was a member of the board of supervisors, and he managed the Daulton acreage. He married Adelaide Raynor. They had four children: H. Clay Daulton, the younger, Raynor Daulton, Mrs. Hugh Downey and Mrs. Raymond Hatch. John Francis Daulton died in San Francisco in 1930. R. M. Daulton and H. Clay Daulton now raise choice Hereford cattle on the old Daulton ranch. Two thousand acres of it is in cultivation in grain. More about this Daulton family: Daulton named grand marshal Tuesday, September 21, 2004 By Bill Coate - The Madera Tribune Hildreth (Bud) Daulton, Grand Marshal for this year's Old Timer's parade, right, is shown here with H. Clay Daulton III, owner of the Daulton Ranch, at a family reunion held earlier this year. The parade activities will almost be a birthday celebration for the grand marshal, who will be 90 years old on September 29. History repeated itself when Hildreth (Bud) Daulton was chosen as the Grand Marshal for this year's Old Timer's parade. According to Daulton, his father, Raynor Daulton, shown above on horseback, was the Grand Marshal in one of the parades of yesteryear. Hildreth (Bud) Daulton, oldest surviving descendant of one of Madera County's founding fathers, has been named Grand Marshal for the 2004 Old Timer's Day Parade. The recently honored Maderan comes from a family whose name is synonymous with the creation of Madera County as well as the establishment of its first sheep and cattle ranch. He is the great-grandson of Henry Clay Daulton I, the first chairman of the Madera County Board of Supervisors. When Daulton leads this year's parade, he will be just four days short of his 90th birthday, having been born on Sept. 29,1914, at the Daulton Ranch to Raynor M. Daulton and Hermina Schlageter Daulton. The new grand Marshal attended school at Lincoln School and graduated from Madera High in 1932. He is an alumnus of Fresno State. On Dec. 20, 1936, Daulton was married to Marjorie Sheets. They lived on the Daulton Ranch where he and his brother Turner were in business with their father. They raised purebred Hereford cattle and established a list of well-connected customers, including Harry Warner of Warner Brothers Studios and movie and television star Walter Brennan. Marjorie Sheets Daulton died in 1997. Daulton is a past president of the Madera 20/30 Club and the Madera Country Club, of which he is a charter member. He has served as a director on the board of California Hereford Association and the Madera Rotary Club, where he was a Paul Harris Fellow. For more than a dozen years he was a member of the Madera County Republican Central Committee. After leaving the cattle business, Daulton served as a deputy under Sheriff W.O. Justice for four years. From there, he went to the Madera City Police Department, having been recruited there by longtime police chief Walter Thomas. Daulton retired from the department in 1972. One of the highlights of his days in law enforcement came in 1956, when he was chosen by the U.S. Secret Service as part of the security guard for then Vice President Richard Nixon, who was campaigning in the valley during the national election of that year. Daulton is the father of Fresno artist Joann Scarbrough and the grandfather of Kipp Daulton Zenger of Morgan Hill, who is a programmer for IBM. His son, John Hildreth Daulton, died in 1990. In addition to his numerous civic duties and professional responsibilities, hunting, fishing, golf and gardening have occupied large portions of his leisure time.

The Story of Richard Dalton 1720-1791 Researched, complied & edited by Rodney G. Dalton from sources on The World Wide Web. Richard Dalton was King George III’s Royal Art surveyor Present day Royal Academy of Arts building in Piccadilly, London, England The Royal Academy of Arts was founded through a personal act of King George III on 10 December 1768 with a mission to promote the arts of design through education and exhibition. The motive in founding the Academy was twofold: to raise the professional status of the artist by establishing a sound system of training and expert judgment in the arts and to arrange the exhibition of contemporary works of art attaining an appropriate standard of excellence. Behind this concept was the desire to foster a national school of art and to encourage appreciation and interest in the public based on recognized canons of good taste. The office of the Surveyor of the King's/Queen's Pictures, in the Royal Collection Department of the Royal Household of the Sovereign of the United Kingdom, is responsible for the care and maintenance of the royal collection of pictures owned by the Sovereign in an official capacity – as distinct from those owned privately and displayed at Sandringham House and Balmoral Castle and elsewhere. The office has only been full-time since 1972. It now operates in a professional capacity with a staff of a dozen people. Richard Dalton was apprenticed to a coach-painter in Clerkenwell and afterwards went to Rome to study drawing and painting. Among the earliest of eighteenth-century English painters to make this trip, he was there by March 1741 when he is reported by one Grand Tourist as not only 'by far the best of any of the English artists' there but also making drawings of 'some statues ... in red chalk ... for Lord Brooke' and drawings in black and white chalks on blue paper (seemingly reported by him as a technique of his own invention) of Raphael's frescos in the Loggia of Psyche and the Triumph of Galatea in the Villa Farnesina for the Countess of Hertford. Like many artists in Italy he also dealt in art: in June 1743 he was in contact with Sir Horace Mann, the British envoy in Florence, about a Raphael that was for sale. This is the first sign of the sort of entrepreneurship which later made him extraordinarily unpopular with his colleagues. In 1763, when Dalton, now Librarian to the Prince of Wales, returned to Italy and crossed paths with the engraver Robert Strange, Strange was moved to write to his patron that 'persecution was to haunt me even beyond the Alps, in the form of Mr. Dalton'. Dalton never lacked for good patrons, however, for in 1749 he had traveled to Greece, Turkey and Egypt with Lord Charlemont, and in 1778 George III made him the surveyor of the Royal pictures. Dalton was also a print dealer who had a warehouse in Pall Mall; but his business did not prosper, and he accordingly approached the King with a scheme to establish an academy of arts in this warehouse instead. “His Majesty clearly saw a folly into which his librarian had precipitated himself,” wrote the author of An Inquiry into the Rise and Establishment of the Royal Academy of Arts in 1775; and ‘therefore, from his natural humanity, as well as from a desire of promoting the fine arts, which he loved, he adopted the proposed plan. The label over the door containing the Print Warehouse was razed and another substituted in its place, viz. ‘The Royal Academy’. In all fourteen chalk drawings, all about the same size, made by Dalton from Antique sculptures are known, with thirteen of them in the Royal Collection: six, including another drawing of the Farnese Hercules, are dated 1741 and three 1742. The artist's wash-line border on this drawing suggests that it was one made for Lord Brooke. Dalton would have copied these marbles, not just because it was a commission but also for a very practical purpose: as records of great works of art they would inform his own art or any teaching he might do when he got back home. A portrait by Johann Zoffany in the Tate Gallery shows Dalton with such a drawing in his hand as he instructs his niece and in 1770, just as the market for such images increased as the teaching of the recently founded Royal Academy emphasized the use of classical prototypes in pictures, John Boydell published a set of twenty prints after Dalton's drawings, including one from the Hercules. The colossal statue of the Hercules which Dalton drew in the Farnese Palace was known throughout Europe and commented upon and copied by generations of writers and artists (Haskell and Penny 1981, pp.229-32). In Dalton's time it was not uncommon for the great and the good to be credited with classical attributes: the 1770 print of Hercules was dedicated by Dalton to Chichester Fortescue Esq. - with Hercules' legendary strength and honour linked to a surname which translates as 'strong shield' - just as he dedicated his print of Apollo, the god of medicine, to Dr Mead. In the very act of copying, and also by drawing with red chalk, Dalton was, of course, self-consciously setting out to emulate those Renaissance draughts men who had used the same medium (as, indeed, they had used black and white chalk on blue paper) for the same purpose. Unlike Rubens, for example, who drew from the Farnese Hercules when he was in Italy in 1605-8 and reworked the subject for a later drawing of Hercules Standing on Discord (British Museum), Dalton never put his work to such a use for he never ventured into the area of history painting: in fact, Edward Edwards (1738-1806) wrote that Dalton 'as an artist never acquired any great powers' . When George III’s librarian, Richard Dalton, met the great mezzotint engraver Francesco Bartolozzi on a visit to Italy in the 1760s. This led to Bartolozzi coming to England to work on a series of etchings after Guercino in the Royal Collection. Other engravers included Dalton himself, James Basire, Giovanni Vitalba and Lady Louisa Augusta Greville. In 1791, the entrepreneurial London publishers John & Josiah Boydell bought most of the plates and issued them both individually and bound in a single volume. Forbidden Images: Richard Dalton’s Career Excerpted from an article by Millicent Craig, Daltons in History, Volume 8 No 6, June 2005 issue. In 1747, Sir Charlemont of Ireland (James Caulfield) set out on a journey to Egypt. Charlemont, a wealthy young man, had read the accounts of travelers who had gone before and was intrigued by the privacy rules that prevented them from drawing or painting religious rites or women. He wanted to return with visuals of life to add to his accounts of the voyage. On the journey he stopped in Greece where he met a young draughtsman, Richard Dalton. Charlemont invited him and his friends to join his party and to be the official image maker of religious rites and of people, particularly of women who were confined by the Ottomans. Outsiders were not allowed to view these subjects, let alone draw them. Dalton, who was about 27 (and reportedly born in Cumbria in 1712), accepted the challenge. As they traveled about, the party frequently remained concealed from view while observing the events that Dalton captured with pen. He provided Charlemont with ample drawings, many colored that became the cornerstone of Charlemont’s numerous publications. Most were lost from the library at Charlemont Castle and only a few remain. Four of Dalton’s works are on display at Trinity College, Dublin, not because of the quality of his artistry, but because of the rarity of the subject matter. Dalton produced a separate account with engravings of his travels to Egypt and asked for Charlemont’s patronage to publish but was refused. The whereabouts of this account is currently unknown but Dalton’s career took a highly visible turn during the reign of George III. George III had negotiated (prior to becoming king) for the 17th Century collection of historical and scientific drawings known as the Museo Cartace that had been assembled by Cassiano dal Pozzo. After dal Pozzo’s death the collection was purchased by Pope Clement XI in 1704, and then it went to his nephew Cardinal Albani. The drawings arrived in London in 1763. The collection was reorganized by the now Royal Librarian, Richard Dalton. Dalton kept a large number of folios for his own collection and after his death in 1791 they were purchased by Charles Townley. After WWI another part of the collection was dispersed from the Royal Library at Windsor. Dalton met Pennsylvania born colonial artist, Benjamin West in Venice in 1762 and he commissioned on behalf of George III a painting entitled Cymon and Iphegia based on an episode in the Decameron. This was the beginning of a 30 year relationship between West and the monarch. West’s talent was immediately recognized and he became the royal painter of portraits (and of historical scenes) and ultimately President of the Royal Academy. George III was renowned for his art collections and as a patron of the arts. His reign was overshadowed by the economic and financial loss of the American colonies. Richard Dalton left no issue. A painting that depicts a genteel scene with Dalton, his wife Esther and his orphaned niece, Mary Le Huelle (whom Dalton adopted), is on display at the Tate Gallery in London. It was painted by Johan Zoffany circa 1765-1768. Index notes on Dalton show that he compiled Views and Engravings in Greece and Egypt, 1790-91. Whether this was the account for which he originally sought patronage of Charlemont or whether this was the result of a journey that he took prior to his death in 1791 is not clear. Your editor has not located a biography of Richard Dalton. Dr. Lucy J. Slater notes that there was a baptism of a Richard Dalton son of John Dalton at Stanwyx, Carlisle, Cumberland in 1715. She also writes that there was a grammar school in Carlisle that specialized in teaching the trades during the 18th C. and it may have been here that Richard learned the trade of draughtsman/engraver. End One of a group of prints by Richard Dalton (c.1715 - 1791) and various other engravers, after drawings made by Dalton from antique statues which he saw in Rome, published in the 1740s. Some like this etching bear dedications from Dalton, which suggests that he was involved in the publication. Boydell published a set of twenty plates after Dalton's drawings, in 1770. Richard Dalton began his career as a painter, but then became an antiquarian-dealer, principally through his activities as Librarian to George, Prince of Wales (subsequently George III). He first traveled to Italy in 1739 to continue his studies, first at Bologna, then at Rome, where he specialized in highly finished red chalk drawings after classical statues. By mid-1741 Dalton had also become active as a dealer, particularly in prints. In 1749 he traveled with Roger Kynaston and John Frederick to Naples, South Italy, and Sicily, where they joined a party consisting of James Caulfeild, earl of Charlemont, Francis Pierpoint Burton, and others. From thence Dalton accompanied Lord Charlemont on his tour to Constantinople, Greece, and Egypt. He was the first Englishman to make drawings of the monuments of ancient art in these countries. Some of these he etched and engraved himself. A ‘Selection from the Antiquities of Athens’ was the first publication of its kind, but it was quickly put into the shade by the more accurate and trustworthy publications of James Stuart (1713-1788) and Nicholas Revett. King George III In 1762 George III purchased Buckingham House for his young bride Princess Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. The decorative arts commissioned for their new home began the King's life-long commitment to British 'manufactures'. Mahogany furniture by William Vile, silver by Thomas Heming, porcelain from the Chelsea, Derby, Wedgwood and Worcester factories, and ornamental metalwork by Matthew Boulton are among the superb pieces shown in the exhibition. George III had a deep and practical interest in all branches of art and science. He was taught architecture by William Chambers (who designed the dazzling Gold State Coach for the King) and a number of his architectural drawings are included in the exhibition. His commissioning of some of the most sophisticated clocks, barometers and watches ever created stemmed from a fascination with and understanding of their mechanisms. The case for Christopher Pinchbeck's magnificent four-dialled astronomical clock and Matthew Boulton's decoration for the mantel clock by Thomas Wright, both in the exhibition, were partly designed by the King. George III and Queen Charlotte were depicted by many of the leading British artists of the 18th century, including Allan Ramsay and Thomas Gainsborough. They chose the German painter Johan Zoffany to record scenes of family life with their nine sons and six daughters. Interestingly, at the time of the long-running dispute over the American colonies, George III commissioned a series of history paintings from the American artist Benjamin West, whose heroic subject matter reflected the virtues of honour, fortitude and chivalry that he particularly admired. George III's purchase in 1762 of the celebrated collection formed by the British consul in Venice, Joseph Smith, remains one of the most important acquisitions in the history of the Royal Collection. It encompassed superb Italian paintings and drawings, including works by Raphael, Zuccarelli and Annibale Carracci, and the finest group of Canalettos in existence. The collection also contained outstanding ancient and Renaissance gems, intaglios, medals and books.

The Story of Senior Sergeant Charles Dalton Below is a studio photograph of Senior Sergeant Charles Dalton, wearing the "full dress" uniform of the New South Wales Police Governor's Escort (Orderlies); a "carte de viste" by Freeman & Co, circa 1880. (An even earlier studio photograph of Dalton in uniform, also taken by Freeman in 1876, appears on the N.S.W. Police Force page). Dalton was born in St. Lukes, London, England in 1832 and served with the 8th King's Royal "Irish" Hussars during the Crimea War; including the Charge of the Light Brigade and the Indian Mutiny. The uniform he is wearing in this photo, looks similar to that of a Senior Sergeant in the King's 8th, however, the white, British style, "foreign service" helmet next to him, interestingly bears the first N.S.W. Police helmet plate; as illustrated above. It is this author's opinion, that Dalton may have fashioned his N.S.W. Police uniform on that of his old military unit. Commissioned Officer's in the N.S.W. Police Force and other Police Forces in Australia, soon began to wear and would continue wear subdued, "hussar" style, undress jackets, from the 1880's up until the 1940's. Dalton had a very interesting life. After service in India, it seems Dalton may have officially travelled to Australia on board the P&O mail steamer, S.S. "Northam", as "escort" to the newly appointed NSW Administrator and soon to be, Governor in Chief of Australia, Lord John Young and his wife, Lady Adelaide (Annabelle Tuite-Dalton) Young. They arrived in Sydney in 1861 and Dalton, it was reported, fell in love with Australia. In 1862, and most likely pursuant to new Police Regulation Act of 1862, Dalton was officially discharged from H.R.H military forces, after 12 years and 70 days service, with the "Good Conduct badge"; possibly whilst still on active service at the Governor's pleasure. He and his elite, mounted troopers (known as "the Governor's Escort" ) were to become one of the last of the disparate " law enforcement" bodies in N.S.W, to be officially amalgamated into the newly formed: New South Wales Police Force. He became officer No. 1342 and was then transferred to the Western District; stationed in Goulburn. In 1864, seemingly under the advice or at least with the approval of Governor Young, his duties were transferred back to Sydney, to the old "Police Depot" and specifically to the "Governor's Escort / Orderlies". The old "Police Depot" is where Police troopers for the "Governor's Escort" (Governor's Orderlies), "Gold Escort", the "Mint" and the "South East District" were then stationed or accounted for; and where, interestingly, Sydney Central Rail Station, in George Street, now stands. After the attempted assassination of the visiting Prince Alfred, whilst he was attending a picnic at Clontarf on the 12th March, 1868, Dalton was ordered to full-time, duty at Government House, as guard to the "Royal Personage". He was promoted to the rank of Sergeant on the 1st July, 1868 and on the 6th March, 1869, was assigned the title of "Officer In Charge" of the N.S.W. Police "Governor's Escort". He was officially promoted to "Senior Sergeant" on the 1st June, 1878; although it is believed he was "acting" in that rank from, at least, circa 1876. Alfred Ernest Albert, Duke of Edinburgh (1844-1900), was born on 6 August 1844 at Windsor, England, second son of Queen Victoria. He entered the navy in August 1858 and travelled widely as a midshipman in the frigate Euryalus. In the winter of 1862-63 he was elected King of Greece but politics dictated his withdrawal and he was given instead right of succession to the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. He was promoted lieutenant in 1863 and in 1866 became both a naval captain and Duke of Edinburgh. He commissioned his first command, H.M.S. Galatea, in January 1867, left for the Mediterranean in February and sailed for South America on 12 June for a state visit to the emperor of Brazil. Then after two months at the Cape, the Galatea reached Adelaide on 31 October 1867 to commence the first royal tour of Australia. After three uneventful weeks in South Australia, the duke moved on to Melbourne where a shooting incident between Orange and Catholic factions and a riot due to inept handling of a free public banquet marred the generally enthusiastic atmosphere. He then visited Tasmania and arrived in Sydney on 21 January 1868. After a month of festivities he spent a week in Brisbane and returned to Sydney. Despite rumours of sectarian strife, he attended a picnic at Clontarf on 12 March where an Irishman, Henry James O'Farrell, succeeded in wounding him seriously. In a frenzy of outraged patriotism the New South Wales government sought unsuccessfully to uncover a conspiracy and, overruling the duke's eminently sensible proposal to refer the sentence on O'Farrell to the Queen, refused to recommend clemency. O'Farrell was hanged on 21 April and the duke who had recovered completely by 26 March left for England on 26 June. Dalton and his family (and four other N.S.W. Police "Mounted Troopers") moved into and occupied the "Government House Household Cavalry" building and stables ( now known as the "Conservatorium of Music") from where, over the next 20 years, he commanded this elite troop that would go on to protect the next seven (7) official Governor's and their families. During those next 20 years, the "upper rooms" of the building, were used by the Dalton's as their family home and it was from there where most of his ten children, from his marriage to wife Jessie, were born and raised. Of note: Mrs. Jessie Dalton (nee: Fitz-Simmons), had been employed on the Governor's staff since at least 1861; and was most likely "Lady In Waiting" to at least Lady Young. Apparently, she first met Charles Dalton onboard the S.S. "Northam", during her voyage to Australia, from Great Britain; whilst both part of the entourage of the future Governor and his wife. The "Government House Household Cavalry Barracks" building is located in Macquarie Street, Sydney; a beautiful, ornate building specifically designed to house "His Excellency" the Governor's Escort, et al, by the talented "gentleman convict" architect: Francis Greenway. This building was originally, fully situated inside "Government House" grounds, but the large ornate entrance gates and small guard house, originally situated across the top of Hunter Street, were unfortunately moved back in c1960, to accommodate the ramp to the "Cahill Expressway". This historic, building is currently being used by Sydney's "Conservatorium of Music". In 1872, the Dalton's had another daughter, who was named, Antoinette Mary Dalton; my Grandmother was born at Government House, Sydney, as were six of her other brothers and sisters. (see below) Dalton was also one of only twelve possible survivors of the "Charge of the Light Brigade" to settle in Australia and was made a member of the Balaclava Commemoration Society (exclusive to those who actually rode in "The Charge"), in 1879. Dalton became instrumental in the founding of Australia's first official independent Military Force, the "Sydney Light Horse", because of his access to the then Governor, Lord Loftus. Inspector John Bevin, of the New Zealand Police Force (another 8th Hussar who "came through" Balaclava; see the "Charger list" (as named above), whilst stationed in Dunedin, had written a letter of introduction to Charles Dalton, for a Mr. Robert Roland Thompson, who was a former Sergeant of the 4th Dragoon Guards. It was Dalton's access to then Governor, Lord Loftus, that led to the formation of the first (Volunteer) Australian (Sydney) Light Horse; and to R.R Thompson becoming it's first adjutant in 1887. Apparently, the articles for the formation of Australia's first, official Light Horse troop, were written in the Dalton's dining room, at the now "Conservatorium of Music". During the excavations for the underground additions for the Conservatorium of Music site in 2000 (or more appropriately, the Governor's Household Cavalry Barracks site), many family household and personal items that probably belonged to the Dalton family and issued and marked Queen Victoria "crowned" items from the N.S.W. Police, (including badges and buttons) were excavated from this site, and are still there now, on display. By all reports, Dalton was also an accomplished horse rider and shot and in his early days, had accompanied Captain Zouch, a fellow N.S.W. Police officer, on his excursions to hunt down bushrangers on the Goulburn plains. On the 31st October 1889, after more than 25 years with the Governor's escort and the N.S.W. Police Force, Senior Sergeant Charles Dalton, retired and moved with his family to their new home in Balgowlah. More about Senior Sergeant Charles Dalton: In 1867 New South Wales had passed a Volunteer Force Regulation Act and volunteering was encouraged by grants of land after five years' continuous service. In 1878 some of the volunteers were reorganized on a "partially paid" basis, and in 1886 volunteers in receipt of payment were re-named "Militia". No doubt military affairs were under discussion in 1884 when there arrived in Sydney from New Zealand one Robert Roland Thompson, one-time sergeant of the 4th Dragoon Guards, who had promoted the formation of the Dunedin Hussars in New Zealand. He was later, in 1897, to become the first adjutant of the 1st (Volunteer) Australian Horse, and later still to be prominent in forming the King's Colonials. He brought a letter of introduction to Senior Sergeant Charles Dalton of the New South Wales Police from Inspector Bevan in Dunedin, Dalton and Bevan being old comrades with long service in the 8th Hussars - in fact, both were survivors of the famous charge of the light Cavalry Brigade at Balaclava in 1854. Thompson, it is considered, is the person whose initiative led to the formation of a cavalry troop in Sydney at that time. He apparently confided in Dalton, whose role in the police was officer-in-charge of the Governor's mounted escort, for which reason he, with his family, was quartered at the Government House stables which later became the Conservatorium of Music. Dalton brought Thompson under vice-regal notice and, although it is not thought that the then Governor, Lord Loftus, played a prominent part in this cavalry movement, he was destined to be the first to receive the honour of a cavalry escort. The appointment of Mr. William Scott, M.R.C.V.S., as veterinary surgeon to the Sydney Lancers in October 1887 is noted, this appointment lasting until 1889. Another interesting appointment in 1887 was that of Charles Albin Dalton, son of Senior Sergeant Dalton of the police, already mentioned. C. A. Dalton was born at the Government House stables and his soldiering commenced at the age of 14 when he joined the artillery as a trumpeter; when he was 16 he transferred to the newly formed Sydney Light Horse and rode in the escort on March 3 1885. The first Australian military troop, the Sydney Light Horse, made its first "official" public appearance on the March 3 1885; as honorary escort to Governor Lord Loftus, to farewell the troops to " the Soudan" (Sudan). They used "fishing poles" for lancers. Swords and bridles were supplied courtesy of the NSW POLICE via S/SGT.

The Manly Daily, 7th September 1965 “Senior Sergeant Charles Dalton, who married Jessie Fitzsimons at Christ Church St Laurence, Sydney, was a survivor of that “Gallant Six Hundred” at the Battle of Balaclava, of whom Tennyson wrote in his famous poem. Charles and Jessie had nine children, all of whom were born at Government House, Sydney, with the exception of Ernestina, who was christened at Goulburn. They were: James Burrows, Ernestina, Charles Albin, Jessie Maria, Antoinette Mary, George Conrade, Adelaide, Roberta Alexandra and Emily Emma Sarah. The Dalton family c 1888. Charles Dalton, who died in 1891, and whose head-stone is well preserved at Manly, was the Senior Sergeant in charge of the Governor’s Escort, and belonged to the 8th King’s Royal Irish Hussars. He served in the Crimea and Turkey, at Alma, Balaclava, Inkerman and Sebastopol; and in India at the siege of Kotah, recapture of Chundaree, Kotah Ki Seari, capture of Gwalior, Powrie, Sindwah and Koonayr. Dalton was reputed to be the finest shot and horseman of his day, and helped on more than one occasion to try to capture some bush-rangers on the Goulburn plains. He had come out from England with Lord and Lady Young, and remained in charge of the Governor’s escort, successively for 25 years, until he died. His widow, Jessie, and the children then went to live at their cottage called Gwalior, after one of the old battles in India. The cottage was situated at the corner of Condamine Street and Sydney Road, This valuable corner property was sold in 1919 by the family after Jessie Dalton followed her husband to the burial place reserved for her, beside him, at Manly, and where Emily Emma Sarah is now ‘at rest’ (Manly Cemetery Plot B129, Charles Dalton, buried 1891, son of Sarah; plot B128, his wife Jessie Dalton, buried 17 December 1919; plot B130, their daughter Emily Emma Sarah Jordan, buried 1 September 1965.) Proof is available of other properties owned by the family at Manly until after WWI, as well as the Lots 1 to 5 on the Condamine Street-Sydney Road corner already mentioned. They were Lots 6, 7, 8, 9 at West and New Streets, Balgowlah; also Lot 4, situated at the corner of Redan and Almora Streets, Mosman. At one time this old soldier owned the whole of Cremorne Point, besides Centennial Park, which he later presented to his friend Sir Henry Parkes, who in turn gave this park in perpetuity to the people. Dalton wanted to have a drive built right around the foreshores of Sydney harbour in those early days, but three or four families with waterfront properties exerted their influence to stop it. After the attempted shooting of the *1st Duke of Edinburgh at Clontarf by a Sinn Feiner, Charles Dalton slept in the same room as the two Princes who were then visiting Government House, Sydney, to guard them from harm. The second Dalton child was baptized Ernestina by permission of the Duke of Edinburgh in January 1868, who stood as the godfather.” After three uneventful weeks in South Australia, the duke moved on to Melbourne where a shooting incident between Orange and Catholic factions and a riot due to inept handling of a free public banquet marred the generally enthusiastic atmosphere. He then visited Tasmania and arrived in Sydney on 21 January 1868. After a month of festivities he spent a week in Brisbane and returned to Sydney. Despite rumours of sectarian strife, he attended a picnic at Clontarf on 12 March where an Irishman, Henry James O'Farrell, succeeded in wounding him seriously. In a frenzy of outraged patriotism the New South Wales government sought unsuccessfully to uncover a conspiracy and, overruling the duke's eminently sensible proposal to refer the sentence on O'Farrell to the Queen, refused to recommend clemency.

P.M. Dalton aka Pleatus Madison Dalton moved to Florida with his wife Nancy sometime between 1920 & 1945. It is believed they moved to Florida after the death of Nancy Dalton mother of Pleatus. Pleatus can be found in the 1945 Duval County, Florida census with his wife Nancy their son Ben and grandson Richard. There was a transcription error in the census; Pleatus is listed as Pleanters M. Dalton. Both Pleatus and Nancy died in Duval County, Florida (not Georgia) and are buried in the Greenlawn Cemetery, Duval County Florida. Their headstones read Pleatus b.1877 d. 1961 Nancy b. 1878 d. 1962 Pleatus is the son of Samuel J Dalton and Nancy Jane Coker both of whom are buried in the Mt.

Frank Dalton: The 'Good Brother of the Gang' Researched, complied & edited by Rodney G. Dalton from sources on the World Wide Web. Frank Dalton (June 8, 1859 - November 27, 1887) was a Deputy US Marshal of the Old West under Judge Isaac Parker, for Oklahoma Territory, as well as the older brother to the members of the Dalton Gang, in addition to being the brother to William M. Dalton, once a member of California legislature, and later an outlaw and leader of the Doolin Dalton gang alongside Bill Doolin. Frank Dalton is not to be confused with J. Frank Dalton, who made many claims to be famous people, including his claim of being Frank Dalton, and later Jesse James. Hundreds of stories about the Dalton brothers have been written about their train robberies to their death at Coffeyville, Kansas in 1892. This story tells about the other Dalton brother who died with honor; Deputy Marshal Frank Dalton. He was born in 1859, the fifth son of nine born to Lewis and Adeline Dalton. Frank never received higher than a third or fourth grade education, but this was due to the financial situation of the family. At the age of nine, Frank began working in stables to bring in money for the family. At an older age, he began working his parent's land, but he also had to work other jobs around the countryside. No matter what it was, he always turned all his earnings over to his mother to make the money go as far as possible. It seemed that he was getting little help from his other three brothers, Grat, Bob, and twelve year old Emmett. Adeline tired to persuade Grat and Bob to assist Frank more, but the rambunctious, rough boys were getting to be too much for her to handle. It was then at the age of twenty-four, Frank along with Grat enlisted in the Cherokee Light Horsemen, (Indian Police) Even though they had very little education, the two Dalton brothers served the Cherokee Nation with courage and honesty. The became a credit the Horsemen, proving to be good lawmen. Based out of Fort Smith, Arkansas, Dalton was involved in a number of shootouts and high risk arrests over a three year period. However, on November 27, 1887, he and Deputy J.R. Cole were on the trail of outlaw Dave Smith, wanted for horse theft. As they approached Smith's camp, Smith fired a shot from a rifle, hitting Dalton in the chest. Deputy Cole returned fire, killing Smith, but was then shot and wounded by a Smith cohort. Cole was able to make his escape, however, believing Dalton was dead. Dalton, however, was still alive, and engaged the outlaws in a short gun battle. One of Smith's cohorts was wounded, and a woman who was in the camp was killed during the crossfire. Frank Dalton was dead by the time Deputy Cole returned with a posse, having been killed with two additional rifle shots by outlaw Will Towerly. The name of the outlaw wounded by Dalton never revealed his own name. He died shortly thereafter, but not before naming Towerly as Frank Dalton's murderer. A newspaper of the time indicated Dalton had begged Towerly not to kill him, saying he was already dying. However that was a rumour, and there were no witnesses to the crime who ever made that statement. Towerly was killed one month later by Deputy William Moody and Deputy US Marshal Ed Stokley. More about Frank Dalton: Deputy US Marshal "Everyone knows they were the Desperate Daltons … that they were a band of cold blooded murderers that roamed the Midwest without challenge, robbing and killing at will…." Or so the story goes. The legend of the Dalton gang has more myth than truth in its telling nowadays, but the real story can still stand on its own. The Dalton Gang story really cannot be told without beginning with the brother who first lost his life to violence. Frank Dalton, born in 1859, was commissioned a U.S. Deputy Marshal at Fort Smith in 1884. He was involved in numerous dangerous episodes as a deputy and was described as "one of the most brave and efficient officers on the force." But all of that was to change in a "bloody tragedy" on November 27, 1887. Frank, at that time 28 years old, and Deputy J.R. Cole had gone to the Cherokee Nation to arrest Dave Smith on horse stealing and whiskey charges. Not anticipating any trouble, Frank stepped up to the tent that Smith and his friends were camped in and was immediately shot in the chest by Smith. Deputy Cole reacted quickly and shot Smith in the back. Another man in the tent then rushed out and shot at Deputy Cole who retreated backward, but could not escape a bullet in the chest. The deputy sprang to his feet, though, and using his Winchester as best he could, took refuge behind a tree. By this time, Cole, under the impression that Frank was dead, decided to try to make his way back to Fort Smith for assistance. Frank was still alive, however, and after Cole got out of range, Will Towerly came out of the tent and shot him in the head twice with a Winchester. Newspaper reports of the time indicated that Frank was conscious and begged Towerly not to shoot him as he was already mortally wounded. Back at Fort Smith, Deputy Cole gathered up a posse of officers to take back to the scene. Smith, Dalton, and a woman hit in the crossfire were already dead. Another man was badly wounded and taken back to Fort Smith where he died in jail. Will Towerly, the murderer of Frank Dalton, escaped unhurt. Over the next several years, some of the other Dalton boys would meet equally violent ends, but none in the heroic, law abiding way that Frank did. The Family Hero - Frank Dalton FORT SMITH ELEVATOR December 2, 1887 A TERRIBLE TRAGEDYTWO MEN AND ONE WOMAN AREKILLED AND TWO MEN WOUNDEDTHE RESULT OF TWO DEPUTYMARSHALS ENDEAVORING TOARREST A DESPERATE HORSE THIEFA FAITHFUL OFFICER MURDEREDWHILE IN THE DISCHARGE OF HIS DUTY. We are called upon this week to chronicle another deadly encounter in the Indian country between United States officers and lawless characters, in which Deputy Marshal Frank Dalton, a fearless and trusty officer, was brutally murdered while two other lives were lost and two men wounded, one of the killed being a woman. The facts in the case as near as we have been able to gather them are about as follows: Deputy Marshal Frank Dalton came in last Friday with six prisoners, the fruits of a protracted trip to the territory, and turned them over to the U.S. Jailer. His outfit struck camp on the opposite side of the river in the Cherokee Nation to remain until the officer got ready to start out on another trip. Dalton had a writ for one Dave Smith charging him with horse stealing, and Deputy Cole had a writ for the same party for introducing whisky in the Indian country. Learning that Smith was at a camp about four miles from here in the river bottom, the two officers left Dalton's camp early Sunday morning for the purpose of arresting him. They rode leisurely over to where they expected to find him, and arriving near the camp dismounted and approached the tent on foot. Dalton walked around on one side of the tent and Cole on the other. As Dalton came round toward the door of the tent Smith came out and met him, armed with a pistol. Cole heard Dalton say, "Don't shoot, we want no trouble here" or words to that effect, but the utterance had scarcely left his lips when Smith fired on him inflicting a mortal wound, the brave young officer falling almost at the crack of the pistol. About the same time Smith fired, Cole came around and seeing his companion fall, shot Smith in the back, and he too fell mortally wounded. Two other men, Lee Dixon and Will Towerly, rushed out and Cole backed off, when he stumbled over a tent rope and fell, Dixon shooting at him as he fell and wounding him in the left side. He regained his feet, however, and as he retreated past Dalton asked him if he was badly hurt, but received no answer. He was fired on from the tent as he retreated and returned the fire by taking refuge behind a tree into which his assailants put several bullets, and from this shelter engaged in a single handed fight with the occupants of the tent until they ceased firing on him, when he got away on foot and reached here about 11o'clock to report the matter at the marshal's office, when a posse of men immediately set out for the scene, where they found Smith and Mrs. Leander Dixon dead, and the husband of Mrs. Dixon badly wounded. Will Towerly had escaped, and several determined men at once set out in pursuit of him, while the wounded man, Dixon, was brought here and placed in the prison hospital. His wound is an ugly one, the ball having entered near the collar bone of the left shoulder and ranged down into the back. He says he received the shot while stooping over his wife, who had just received her death wound. Dixon denies that he did any shooting, but Cole says he is the man that shot him as he tripped over the tent rope. Dalton was still alive when Cole retreated from the camp, and then the most brutal act of the dreadful tragedy was performed. Young Towerly came out of the tent and approaching the prostrate and helpless officer, shot him in the head with a Winchester, while Dalton was begging him not to do so as he was already killed. Dalton was a fearless and efficient officer, and an honest, upright young man, highly esteemed by all who knew him for his many good qualities of head and heart. He was but twenty-eight years of age and unmarried, his home being with his mother at Chelsea, Cherokee Nation. His remains were brought to this city, and after being embalmed at the undertaking establishment of Birnie Bros., were placed in a coffin and sent home by rail Sunday night in charge of his brother and Mr. Bud Heady, posse of the murdered officer. Smith, the dead outlaw, was about the last remaining remnant of the Felix Griffin gang of thieves who made their headquarters in the vicinity of Webbers Falls. Lee Dixon, the wounded man, is a brother-in-law of Smith, the latter's wife being Dixon's sister. Dixon and some of the other men about the camp were at work cutting wood and clearing land. Towerly is a young man about nineteen or twenty years of age, and was boarding at Dixon's camp. Deputy Cole has had several close calls since he has been on this force, being compelled about a year ago to kill a drunken bully on the ferry boat just across the river from here, the fellow firing on him for no cause whatever. Only a few days ago he and his posse came in contact with "Big Chewee," a Cherokee desperado, and his posse was badly wounded. However, he has escaped injury up to Sunday last and the wound he is now carrying is not dangerous, a fact we are pleased to note. Frank Dalton was just 28 years old at the time of his death. He was buried in the Elmwood Cemetery in Coffeyville, Kansas, and is remembered by the U.S. Marshal's service on their Roll Call of Honor.	7/2/2010	Rodney G. Dalton, Utah
An interview Given by Ben Dalton at Coffeyville After the Raid Researched, complied & edited from World Wide Web resources by Rodney G. Dalton. Special Correspondence of the Globe Democrat Full name: Charles Benjamin Dalton. Born: February 1852, Jackson, Missouri. Died: 16 March 1936 (Age 84) Western Oklahoma State Hospital for the Insane/Fort Supply, Oklahoma. In 1889, the parents of the Dalton gang - Adeline Younger Dalton and James Lewis Dalton - planned to move to Oklahoma. Mr. Dalton died on the way, leaving Adeline with three young children to raise: Nancy, Leona, and Simon. An older, feeble-minded son named Charles Benjamin accompanied them. COFFEYVILLE, KAN., October, 16. - Just before he left Coffeyville to go back to his Oklahoma claim Ben Dalton talked freely. For the first time he gave the history of the family. And for the first time he gave his version of the circumstances, which led his brothers into outlawry. The conversation took place upon the steps beside the Condon Bank. As he sat there and talked Ben Dalton drew diagrams to illustrate more clearly his story. He is the oldest of the family of ten boys and three girls. He is only forty years old, but three of the ten boys have met violent deaths and one is now scarcely better than a dead man. Ben Dalton has a reputation of being an honest man, and he talks like one. He is 6 feet in height, stands as erect as an Indian, notwithstanding a life of toil and trouble. He looks slender, but the flesh is put on firm and the frame is well muscled. Magnificent physiques were the inheritances of the Dalton brothers. Dr. Ryan, of Coffeyville, said: "I saw Emmett Dalton, the wounded one, stripped, and I never gazed upon a more perfect specimen of physical manhood. The boy is just 21. He is all Apollo." "My father," said Ben Dalton, "was 6 feet 2. He looked slim, but he weighed 220 pounds. His flesh was solid and firm. There were ten of us boys and not one of us had a flaw." He spoke slowly and with no air of boasting. "Our family," he continued, "was from Kentucky, near Mount Sterling. Father was raised there and went through the Mexican war as a member of Col. Cleary's regiment. He was the fifer. At the battle of Buena Vista he blew the long roll which ordered the American soldiers when the Mexicans were trying to surprise them. I heard him tell the story. The sergeant came to the place where my father was sleeping, grabbed him by the foot and pulled him out. "The Mexicans are coming," he said, "blow the long roll." Without waiting a moment my father began to fife, the Americans fell into line and the surprise the Mexicans had planned fell through." There was published recently what purported to be a brief interview with the father of the Daltons. It was sent from Pueblo. "My father," Ben Dalton said, "is not living. He died two years ago last July, and is buried only a little way out of Coffeyville. He was not in the last war. After he returned from the Mexican war he came to Missouri and stopped at Kansas City, or rather Independence, for there was no Kansas City then, only a landing called Westport.. When the war closed he moved to Cass County, bought 640 acres of land, went to farming and did well for several years." "What is the truth about these stories of a relationship between your family and the James boys and Younger brothers?" was asked. "There is no kinship whatever between our family and the James family," Ben said. "The Younger's and the James's were not related at all. That is all a mistake. We are distantly related to the Younger's in this way. The father of the Younger brothers and our mother were half brother and sister. Harry Younger, the grandfather of the Younger's, had two wives. The father of Cole Younger was a son of Harry Younger by the first wife. My mother was a daughter of Harry Younger by the second wife. That is all there is in the relationship." "You have a brother named after Cole Younger?" "I have a brother, Cole Dalton. He is about 35 years of age. He was born just before the war began. He is living with us in Oklahoma, where we have claims, near Kingfisher. Mother lives with me. There are two other brothers, mere boys, Littleton and Simon." "How did you happen to leave Missouri?" "Father did well on his farm in Cass County until he began to deal in Texas cattle. He got pipped on one deal. The next time he had to mortgage his farm. He had more bad luck with his Texas purchases, couldn't take care of the mortgage and lost the farm. After that he moved to Kansas and lived on a rented place a few miles out of Coffeyville. When Oklahoma opened I went there with mother and we got claims. My brother William, who is with us here, went to California years ago, settled in Tulare County, and was doing well until the trouble occurred out there. He had no more to do with the affair than you or I. And my other brothers were just as innocent. "When an express company gets after a man it has no mercy," said Ben Dalton. "It may do injustice. I know it did in that case, for I have satisfied myself that all my brothers were entirely innocent. Not one of them was at the Alila robbery. They had had trouble in the Indian Territory and they had gone to California to look for work and to begin their lives over again. That is the truth of it. William was living out there and was doing well. Grat and Bob and Emmett were on the way out there when this thing was laid on them. I blame two men in California for all this trouble that has recently come upon the family." Ben Dalton's story of how the outlawry came about is a strange one. He said false swearing and persecution in the California affair started the boys in the train-robbing profession. But they had begun to go wrong in other ways before that. "The Government service," said Ben, "was their eternal ruin. They got into bad associations. The United States Marshals didn't pay up. The court at Fort Smith owed Bob several hundred dollars, and so did the one at Wichita. He never did receive it. The boys couldn't get their money when they needed it, although they had earned it, and they took ways which were wrong to raise it. That was the beginning of their going astray, and that was the cause of all that followed. "The boys," said Ben Dalton, "went to California. They were looking for work at the time of the Alila robbery, and they intended to lead honest lives. Now, I will tell you the way they came to be charged with that crime." Ben Dalton stooped down and drew a diagram on the floor. "Here," said he, "is Tulare Lake and here is Alila. After the train robbery, which was done by two men, the Sheriff and his posse found a trail leading away from the place, they followed in the direction of Old Mexico down toward Sonora for many miles until they lost it. Then they came back and went to looking in all directions. They came upon the trail made by my brothers on their way through the country. It was not anywhere near the train robbery, but it passed at one place where the boys had bent down in their course to go around the lake within four or five miles of the train robbers' trail. The officers took up the trail and followed it to the vicinity of where my brother William was living. I have all of these facts from the officers themselves. The Sheriff told me that the trail of the robbers led from the robbery down into Old Mexico, 'but,' he said, 'there appears to be evidence against your brothers.' "After they had failed to overtake the robbers in Old Mexico," continued Ben Dalton, "the detectives of the express company went to work to swear the crime on my brothers, Bob and Emmett. With only the fact that the trail my brothers made as they passed through was at one point four or five miles of the robbers' trail, the whole case was constructed. Two men," (Ben Dalton gave the names) "procured a witness who would swear to anything." (The name of the witness was also given) They paid this man $500 for his testimony. They even wrote out the story to which he made oath. My brother Cole was in California. He went before the Grand Jury and pleaded with the members two days. He told all of the circumstances. He explained the boys had come to California to look for work and had not been at the train robbery. The Grand Jurors were not inclined to find any indictment but the influence of the express companies and the railroad was too strong. I am satisfied the sheriff and other officers did not think the boys had anything to do with the robbery. My brother found that he could not save them; that the express companies were determined to swear the job on them. So he said to them, 'Boys you had better take a couple of horses and get out of the country.' And they went. There was no claim that Grat Dalton was at Alila. Fifty men were ready to swear to an alibi for him. When the robbery took place he was playing cards in a crowd many miles away. "Now this is the true story of that Alila business," continued Ben Dalton. "My brothers had nothing to do with it, but the crime was sworn on them by bribery and perjury, and then they entered on the life which ended here at Coffeyville — not a word, but those two men who hired a perjurer in California to swear that train robbery on the boys I believe are responsible for what has happened since." "Had you seen the boys recently?" "No, not for nearly two years. They hadn't been home and we had seen nothing of them. After things began to go wrong they didn't come to us and didn't send us any word about themselves. They knew it might cause us trouble. My mother and I were talking about them only two or three days before this thing happened at Coffeyville. We agreed they had probably left the Government. We rather thought they had gone to South America. Right after that came the telegram from Coffeyville." Charles Benjamin Dalton the oldest son was undoubtedly named for both grandfathers, Charles Younger and Benjamin Dalton. He owned land and farmed for a number of years in Kingfisher Co. Oklahoma. He was described as slow and at one time as looking older than his mother. The cause of death is listed as apoplexy with contributory cause of cerebral arthrosclerosis. He never married. Notes about Fort Supply & the Mental Hospital: Camp Supply was established in November 1868 by order of General Philip H. Sheridan. The post, originally the supply base for the Winter Campaign of 1868-1869, was re-designated Fort Supply in December 1878 and remained an active military post until the fall of 1894. It would become the hub of military roads and trail's over what is now a three state area of the Southern Great Plains. In 1908, the Old Fort Supply buildings were converted to Oklahoma's first state run mental hospital. To bring the first patients from a private institution to the new hospital, a road was built from the old post to the railroad station south at Tangier, Oklahoma. Farmers and ranchers from the area furnished buggies and wagons to transport the two train loads of arriving patients to the new hospital.	7/2/2010	Rodney G. Dalton, Utah
The History of the Royal Doulton Company Researched, complied & edited by Rodney G. Dalton from various sources on the World Wide Web. The Royal Doulton Company is one of the most renowned English companies producing tableware and collectables, with a history dating back to 1815. Operating originally in London, its reputation grew in the area known as The Potteries, where it was a relative latecomer compared to other leading names such as Spode, Wedgwood and Minton. Today, its products include dinnerware, giftware, cookware, porcelain, glassware, collectables, jewellery, linens, curtains, and lighting, among other items. The Royal Doulton company takes its name from John Doulton. John Doulton, born in Fulham in 1793, learned his trade at the Fulham Manufacturing Company, well known as one of the first English commercial producers of stoneware, founded by master potter John Dwight in 1688. John Doulton completed his apprenticeship, earning a reputation as one of the best pot throwers in London. John Doulton 1793-1873 John Doulton then joined forces with Lambeth Pottery owner Martha Jones and foreman John Watts to form Jones, Watts and Doulton in 1815. This factory was a tiny pottery located in Vauxhall Walk, Lambeth, a borough of London, England. The factory specialized in producing utilitarian salt glazed stoneware, similar to the Fulham factory. Martha Jones broke ties with the company in 1820 and by 1826, now trading as Doulton & Watts, the company moved to larger premises in Lambeth Walk to cope with the rapid expansion it was experiencing. In 1835 Henry Doulton, the second son of John, joined the firm, at the age of 15. He had a great aptitude for all aspects of pottery making and was soon making major contributions to the business. In 1846, in response to greater health awareness and the need for glazed piping to replace the older porous brick sewers, Doulton built a pipe factory on what was to become the Albert Embankment. The demand for these products was tremendous and within three years Doulton founded factories in Dudley and St. Helens to meet the need for pipes and other sanitary ware. John Watts retired from the company in 1854. At this time, trading now as Doulton & Company, John Doulton began experimenting with a more decorative pottery line. Many glazes and decorative effects were developed including faience, impasto, silicon, carrara, marqueterie, chine, and rouge flambe. By 1871, Henry Doulton had launched a studio at the Lambeth pottery and offered work to designers and artists from a local art school. Their names included Frank Butler, Mark Marshall, Eliza Simmance, J. McLennan, John Broad, W. Rowe, George Tinsworth and the Barlow family (Florence, Hannah, and Arthur). Henry was responsible for new technological innovations to the production of ceramics including a steam driven potters' wheel, which put the Doulton business ahead of its competitors by some ten years. Henry took full control of the company upon the death of his father, John, in 1873. In 1882, Doulton purchased the small factory of Pinder, Bourne & Co, at Nile Street in Burslem, Staffordshire, which placed Doulton in the region known as The Potteries. Pinder, Bourne & Co. was well known at the time for their fine bone china. Doulton art director John Slater recognized the growing trend toward gleaming porcelain pieces in brilliant colors, and he saw this new acquisition as an opportunity to move aggressively into these enamel on glaze decorations. By 1885, Doulton was producing world-class wares for an international clientele. Doulton won honors at major international exhibitions and was producing a tremendous variety of figurines, character jugs, vases and other decorative pieces in vibrant colors and using both under- and on-glaze enameling techniques. Doulton products also came to the attention of the British Royal family. Queen Victoria was so impressed with his wares that she knighted Henry Doulton in 1887 for his innovative contributions to ceramic art, and in 1901 King Edward VII bestowed upon the Burslem factory the Royal Warrant as well as allowing it to adopt its new name, Royal Doulton. When Sir Henry died in 1897, Henry's son Henry Lewis Doulton took over control of the company. The company continued to hire talented artists including the next art director Charles Noke, Harry Tittensor, Joseph Hancock, and many others. The company continued to add products during the first half of the 20th century while retaining its reputation as a prime manufacturer of fashionable and high-quality bone china. The 2 world wars halted production temporarily but in between the wars new pipe works were established at Erith in Kent in 1925 (when production of pipes moved from the Lambeth site), a 1935 acquired pottery near Tamworth became the site for manufacture of electrical insulators and specialist chemical resistant ware and sanitary work slowly moved to Whieldon near Stoke-on-Trent in 1937. After World War II, production emphasis shifted to simpler designs, which could be mass produced at more affordable prices. Another renowned art director, Jo Ledger, joined the company in 1954, and continued producing older designs while at the same time exploiting the newer techniques that allowed Royal Doulton to produce high quality works at modest prices. The Lambeth factory finally closed its doors in 1956, due largely to new clean air regulations that prevented the production of saltglaze in the urban environment. Doulton figures were made at the Burslem plants from 1890 until 1978. On September 30, 2005, Doulton’s Nile Street factory closed after being sold to developers. The majority of Doulton pieces are today made in Indonesia, although the higher-quality items are still made in England at the home of parent company Waterford Wedgwood in Barlaston, in the countryside south of the Potteries. Another history of Royal Doulton: Royal Doulton has been producing porcelain ceramics and tableware for approximately 200 years. John Doulton learned the trade of pottery making at the tender age of twenty two while working at the Fulham Manufacturing Co, well known as the first English commerical pottery, producing stoneware. Fulham was founded in 1688 and later assumed the name of Jones, Watts and Doulton. Sometime after the firms name changed to Doulton and made a variety of decorative products for the affluent buyer. From a meager beginning John Doulton amassed one of the largest pottery and porcelain factories the world has ever known. In the year 1815. John Doulton, at the tender age of 22, invested his lifetime savings of £100 in a small pottery. His previous experience in other potteries gave him the knowledge necessary to attempt such an adventure. The year was 1815 and the company founder, John Doulton, began producing practical and decorative stoneware from a small potery in Lambeth, South of London. With much effort in manufacturing utility items such as sewer pipe and the like, he went into partnership with John Watts. The firm took on the name of Doulton & Watts and become a well known firm in the area. As time passed, Doulton's son Henry joined the firm as an apprentice. Henry built up the business and relocated it 60 years later to Stoke-on-Trent. England: The epidemics of 1832 and 1864 saw the death of thousands of people. Dr. John Snow discovered the relationship of Cholera and the Broad Street pump. Doulton contributed greatly with the production of sewer pipe to improve the quality of the water supply. The above pictures are examples of samples of sewer pipe created and sold by Doulton. From 1858 until his death, John Doulton directed Doulton and Co. Pottery in Lambeth, England. John Doulton began experimenting with a more decorative pottery line. Many glazes and decorative effects were developed including faience, impasto, silicon, carrara, marqueterie, chine, and rouge flambe. The factory operated in Lambeth until 1956. In the late 19th century at the original Lambeth location, fine artwares were decorated by artists including Hannah Barlow and George Tinsworth. Doulton Niles St. Pottery Doulton Pottery Kilns Doulton Workers Henry Doulton d. 1897 Sir Henry Doulton, the second generation Henry Doulton, the second son of John Doulton, joined the firm in 1835 and brought with him new technological innovations to the production of ceramics including a steam driven potters' wheel which put the business ahead of its competition. Production then expanded to include hand-decorated stoneware. In 1878, Sir Henry Doulton purchased Pinder, Bourne and Company of Burslem. Queen Victoria knighted Henry Doulton in 1887 for his innovations in the ceramic art. In 1882, the company became Doulton and Company, Ltd. In 1882, a second factory was built in Burslem which still continues to produce the famous figurines, jugs, and table wares. It added porcelain production and earthenware production to its offerings in 1884. Also in 1884, Doulton added decorated porcelain to the other production lines. Doulton figures were made at the Burslem plants from 1890 until 1978. Stoneware production ceased at Lambeth in 1956. Another history of Royal Doulton: Royal Doulton is one of the world's best-known fine china companies, designing and producing high-quality tableware and giftware under the popular brand names of Royal Doulton, Minton, Royal Albert, Caithness Glass, and Holland Studio Craft. The company operates five ceramic factories, four of which are in England and the other in Indonesia, and two glass factories in Scotland. Its products are marketed in more than 80 countries, with non-U.K. sales accounting for more than half the total and sales in the United States amounting to nearly 30 percent. In addition to its commercial product lines available in higher-end specialty shops and department stores--including the company's own retail outlets, which include some 360 stores and concessions within department stores--Royal Doulton also has accepted commissions to produce unique china service for royalty, wealthy individuals, embassies, luxury hotels, and England's House of Lords. The history of Royal Doulton may be traced to the early 19th century, when John Doulton began an apprenticeship at London's Fulham Pottery, one of the most important of the early commercial potteries in England. Becoming an accomplished potter known for his hard work and innovation, Doulton found employment in Lambeth, along the south bank of the Thames River, at a small pottery business owned by Martha Jones, who had inherited it from her late husband. In 1815, Jones asked Doulton and another employee, John Watts, to enter into a partnership with her, and the three founded a business called Jones, Watts and Doulton. Producing utilitarian salt glaze and stoneware ceramics, stone jars, bottles, and flasks in its early years, the company eventually expanded its line to include mugs and jugs modeled in the likenesses of Napoleon and the Duke of Wellington, bottles for beer, gallipots (ointment pots), and blacking bottles. Allegedly, as a laboring child, Charles Dickens was said to have pasted labels on thousands of Doulton blacking bottles. Among product lines that became central to the history of Royal Doulton was the Toby jug, or beverage mug, first produced in the early 18th century. This jug was designed to represent a seated male figure, stout and smiling, with the spouts at either side of the mug's rim serving as points on the character's tricorn hat. Figurines were another important product line, and Doulton became known for the quality and attention to detail of its figurines. The earliest recorded figurative work produced by the company is attributed to John Doulton, who made a flask depicting Queen Caroline around 1820. Five of John Doulton's sons joined him in the family business, but the second son, Henry, took his father's place in the pottery. Henry had become a master potter, learning all aspects of the business from the production stages through management, and he played an important role in product development and in improving working conditions at the Lambeth pottery. In the 1840s Henry Doulton established the world's first factory for making stoneware drainpipes, a significant development that helped England achieve improvements in healthcare by providing more sanitary conditions through the provision of piped water. As the pipe business continued to thrive, Henry opened an art studio in the early 1870s where he encouraged and employed talented artists. Meantime, the company was incorporated in 1854 as Doulton & Co. Henry also became known for his interest in the welfare of workers, a rare concern at a time when industrialists capitalized on cheap labor. Potteries generally were hazardous places during this time, as arsenic was used in painting and lead in glazing. Workers often succumbed to a debilitating lung disease then known as "potter's rot." In addition, laborers had to carry an enormous amount of weight, lifting several tons of materials from depths of eight to ten feet. To help workers with this burden, Henry Doulton obtained a mechanical hydraulic lifting device to help eliminate some of the manual labor. He also encouraged scientific research to determine more modern and safe methods of production. In 1877 Henry Doulton bought a factory at Burslem in Stoke-on-Trent, a city known as The Potteries and home of English bone china. Other famous potters located here included Wedgwood, Minton, Beswick, and Royal Adderly. Indeed, the area became the center for potters, given its wealth of raw materials including clay for earthenware, coal to heat the kilns, as well as lead and salt for glazing. The established potters in this area initially were annoyed when Doulton moved in on their territory, and they predicted doom for the newcomer. Henry Doulton summed their attitude up thus: "In their view we Southerners know little about God and nothing at all about potting." Through persistence and careful investment in staff and plant, Henry Doulton did succeed. The company's early success came from earthenware, decorated in the limited colors available from lead glaze at that time. This expansion into tableware design and decoration began in 1877, when Henry Doulton entered into a partnership with and later bought out Pinder & Bourne Company, a medium-sized producer of earthenware tableware. Later, Doulton's art director John Slater and manager John C. Bailey encouraged Henry to pursue the idea of using bone china in production, a material that could be painted with more and brighter colors. By 1884, Henry Doulton had given his consent to the new medium, and the success of the results attracted to Doulton an outstanding team of modelers, decorators, and painters. By the late 1880s, the company and its products had become internationally famous. In 1885 Henry was honored for his achievements, receiving the Albert Medal of the Society of Arts for his "encouragement in the production of artistic pottery." Only one Albert Medal was awarded each year, and previous recipients had included the poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson and Sir Rowland Hill, honored for his creation of the penny postage system. Henry's greatest honor, perhaps, came in 1887, when Queen Victoria awarded him knighthood; he was the first potter ever to be distinguished in this fashion. When Sir Henry Doulton died in 1897, he left behind a company that had diversified and established itself as one of the leaders in its field. Sir Henry Doulton's son, Henry Lewis Doulton, who had been made a partner in the firm in 1881, became a leader at the company. In 1901, four years after his father's death, he received on behalf of the company the Royal Warrant of King Edward VII and was granted permission to add the word "Royal" to the Doulton name--a great and rare honor. As chairman and managing director, Henry Lewis Doulton guided the company through a difficult recession and period of war between 1900 and 1920. Regarding product development, Henry Lewis Doulton was particularly interested in experimental glaze processes that produced unique, rare color effects. One such glaze, Rouge Flambé, a dramatic red and black glaze, remained unique to Royal Doulton, with a secret formula known only to three or four people in the company into the 1990s. The company also introduced new lines of character jugs, figurines, and decorative and utility china on earthenware and bone china bodies, and their popularity continued to grow. The character jugs represented a continuation of the beverage mugs of the 19th century and gained popularity in the 1930s when they were produced to represent famous characters from English songs, literature, and history. In America, Royal Doulton became known as the finest English china. Indeed, Royal Doulton's presence in the American market was an important part of the company's growth and success. In 1945, a subsidiary, Royal Doulton USA Inc., was formed to help in the sales and marketing of the products in the United States. Family leadership in the company continued. Ronald Duneau Doulton, a cousin of Henry Lewis Doulton, became one of the first directors of the business when it changed to a limited company, known as Doulton & Co. Limited, in January 1899. Lewis John Eric Hooper, son of Henry Lewis's sister, joined Royal Doulton in 1902. Under Eric's guidance much scientific research into the physical and chemical behavior of ceramic materials was carried out and new technology was developed and installed. His nephew, Orrok Sherwood Doulton, joined the company in 1935 and became director. Under his leadership, Royal Doulton captured the Queen's Awards for Industry, Technological Innovation, and Outstanding Export Performance. In 1960, Doulton & Co. introduced English Translucent China, a medium it pioneered and from which the costly ingredient of calcined bone had been eliminated. Through this new product, which became known as Royal Doulton Fine China, the company was able to offer the qualities associated with fine bone china at a modest cost to consumers. The year 1968 saw the first series of acquisitions by Doulton & Co. It first purchased the world-renowned Minton China, a company founded by Thomas Minton in 1793. Minton dominated the industry during the middle of the 19th century and the company's innovations included the acid gold decorating process, the majolica-type body, the pâte-sur-pâte relief decoration technique, encaustic tiles, and Parian statuary. In the same year, Doulton acquired Dunn Bennett, a company founded in 1876 when Thomas Wood-Bennett joined his father-in-law William Dunn to begin potting, concentrating on hotelware. In 1969, Webb Corbett and Beswick became part of the Royal Doulton group. Webb Corbett was founded in 1897 to make English full-lead crystal; Beswick traced its history to 1890, when James Wright Beswick and his son began producing both table and ornamental ware. The hand-cut crystal of Webb Corbett later would be rebranded under the Royal Doulton name. Orrok Sherwood Doulton's sons, Mark and Michael, both joined the company. Michael Doulton joined the company in 1970, working under a fictitious name while learning the different aspects of pottery production. Starting in 1976 he began acting as traveling ambassador for the company and with the formation of the Royal Doulton International Collectors Club, a group dedicated to the collection and preservation of Royal Doulton products, he served as honorary president beginning in 1980. Although the Doulton family remained an important and integral part to running the business, leadership extended outside the family in later years. The greatest merger in the history of ceramics came in 1972, when Pearson PLC purchased Doulton & Co. Pearson had a controlling interest in Allied English Potteries and combined the two tableware groups under the Royal Doulton Tableware name. Pearson's emergence in the pottery industry came about almost by accident. Originally, the Pearson empire was concerned mainly with construction engineering and the development of oil fields. But after investing money into a struggling business called Booth's pottery during the 1920s, Pearson eventually became the controlling shareholder. Then, 20 years later, Pearson began increasing their pottery interests. In 1944, the company bought Colclough's of Longton, a business founded in 1893 that made moderately priced bone china teaware. Pearson combined its Booth pottery with that of Colclough's, forming a new entity called Booth and Colclough. In 1952, Pearson acquired the Lawley Group, a company controlling a national chain of specialist china and glass retailers and pottery manufacturers, including Ridgway and Adderly. Seven years later they purchased Swinnertons and Alcock, Lindley and Bloor, manufacturers of redware pots. Other names joining the group were Royal Crown Derby, Royal Albert, and Paragon. Royal Crown Derby, a luxury brand, traced its roots back to 1750 and founder William Duesbury; it was the oldest surviving maker of English porcelain. Founded in 1896, Royal Albert was a tableware maker whose "Old Country Roses," introduced in 1962, was one of the best-selling bone china patterns of all time. In 1974, Royal Doulton revived the concept of its original Lambethware, creating a casual tableware with a country charm and practicality, being oven and freezer proof and unaffected by detergent or the dishwasher. Royal Doulton Tableware Limited grew to represent approximately one-third of the entire British tableware industry. Also during the period of ownership by Pearson, Royal Doulton management focused on achieving a greater degree of efficiency at its facilities. From 1987 to 1990, the company spent £10 million (approximately US$16.4 million) annually to automate and mechanize its factories, resulting in even finer quality and manufacturing flexibility. The company maintained a dozen factories producing all types and grades of product at that time. Pearson began focusing more on its media interests in the 1990s and divested many of its other holdings. Royal Doulton plc was thus spun off from Pearson in December 1993 and was listed on the London stock exchange; according to analysts, the company had a market value of between £150 million and £200 million at the time. Under the leadership of Stuart Lyons, Royal Doulton returned to a strategy of acquisition in its initial years as a newly independent company. During 1996 the firm acquired Holland Studio Craft and Caithness Glass, the latter for £5.5 million. Holland Studio had been founded in 1986 as a producer of collectible cold-cast resin sculptures. Among the subjects of these sculptures were dragons, wizards, frogs, bears, and pigs. Established in Scotland in 1961 as a maker of art glass, Caithness Glass expanded into paperweights in 1969 and soon gained a world-class reputation for the production of high-quality abstract paperweights. Another development in 1996 was the start-up of production at a new manufacturing plant in Indonesia. With sales of fine china stagnant, this new facility was key to the company's strategy of expanding production of casual tableware for two of the company's core export markets, the United States and Japan. The new facility also was designed to counter the effects of high U.K. labor costs. Overall sales were flat in 1996, increasing just four percent to £251.8 million. The situation at the company soon worsened. Lyons resigned suddenly in May 1997, after 12 years at the helm, following a failed acquisition of a large U.S. fine china company whose identity was not revealed. The botched takeover cost Royal Doulton £1.6 million in advisers' fees. Further acquisitions were put on hold as the new chief executive, Patrick Wenger, a 37-year company veteran, concentrated on turning around the company's core business. A restructuring was launched that included a workforce reduction of 330 because of the closure of its St. Mary's factory in Stoke-on-Trent as well as a restructuring of the group into six product divisions--tableware, giftware and collectibles, crystal and glass, hotel and airlines, prestige products, and licensing--each headed by its own managing director. Saddled with too much inventory, Royal Doulton drastically reduced its range of products, cutting the number of tableware patterns from 320 to 120 during 1997. In December, Royal Doulton announced a fundamental restructuring program involving the cutting of a further 1,200 jobs (or nearly one-fifth of the remaining workforce), the consolidation of three warehouses into one, a temporary closure of most of the company's U.K. factories, a further writedown of inventory, and the closure of some underperforming retail outlets. Overall, the company was aiming to reduce the number of product lines it produced from 48,000 to fewer than 20,000 over the four years that Grossart estimated it would take to complete a turnaround. Needing to modernize its product styles, it also was working to speed up the development of new concepts, attempting to reduce the time from design to market from two years to six months. Charges related to the restructuring added up to £47.7 million, resulting in a net loss for 1998 of £45 million. In August 1999 a secondary stock offering raised £31.3 million. This fresh infusion of cash helped Royal Doulton reduce its net indebtedness from £43.6 million to £17.8 million over the course of 1999. The company was far from a turnaround, however, as sales declined a further 20 percent, to £190.3 million (US$307.6 million). About £11 million of the reduction represented sales that were lost because of interruptions in deliveries caused by the bungled implementation of new warehouse software being installed to meet Y2K compliance. Other reasons for the sales decline were the continued economic problems in Asia and the closure of an additional 61 underperforming retail outlets, including both stores and concessions within department stores. A further threat emerged in November 1999 when arch-rival Waterford Wedgwood plc acquired a 15 percent stake in Royal Doulton on the open market for £11.1 million. Waterford termed the transaction a "strategic investment" and not a prelude to an outright bid, but nevertheless declined to rule out a future bid if a rival takeover company emerged. For 1999, Royal Doulton posted a net loss of £34.6 million (US$55.6 million), including a restructuring charge of £9.1 million. At the beginning of 2000, Wayne Nutbeen was promoted to chief operating officer, taking over day-to-day management duties from Grossart, who remained chairman. Nutbeen had worked for Waterford Wedgwood from 1988 to 1996, when he was hired away by Royal Doulton to head up the company's Australian subsidiary (Nutbeen, in fact, had been in the accident in Australia that ended the career of Wenger). Nutbeen then became head of Royal Doulton's North American operations at the beginning of 1999. Disposals marked the first six months of 2000. The head office in Stoke-on-Trent was sold. In addition, the venerable Royal Crown Derby porcelain subsidiary was sold to a management-led group for £16.5 million as the company continued to scale back its exposure to the higher ends of the market (Royal Doulton would, however, continue to distribute the brand). These moves helped cut pretax losses for the six months to June 30 from the £14.4 million figure of the previous year to £1.3 million. Sales were down 3 percent, a vast improvement over the year-earlier result. Although it was too early to declare the consummation of a turnaround, and a takeover by Waterford or some other firm was still a distinct possibility, Royal Doulton clearly had made much progress on its road to recovery. It was during the early years of the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901) that the great revolution in personal sanitation occurred and Henry Doulton was at the forefront of domestic and industrial stoneware products. This enabled Doulton to became Britains leading manufacturer of sanitary ware as well as a major influence and producer of artistic pottery and commemorative, ornamental and tableware products. In 1871 Henry established a studio at the Lambeth pottery and offered work to designers and artists from a nearby Art school. Several of these designers have come to represent the best that Doulton had to offer. Names like the Barlow family (Florence, Hannah and Arthur), Frank Butler, Mark Marshall, Eliza Simmance and George Tinworth are commanding increasingly higher prices. The Lambeth pottery ceased production in 1956. It was during this time of intense creativity and expansion that Doulton came to the attention of the Royal Family. In 1882 Doulton acquired the small factory of Pinder, Bourne and Co. at Nile Street, Burslem, Staffordshire, in the heart of Bone China country. Henry soon discovered that as a Londoner he wasn't welcome 'up North' and is ascribed with saying "In their view, we Southerners know little about God and nothing at all about potting". In spite of this, and through the artistic direction of John Slater, Doultonware grew ever more popular with its tremendous variety of figurines, vases, character jugs and decorative pieces, and in 1901, the factory was granted the Royal Warrant by King Edward VII. This resulted in the company adopting bold new markings and a new name, Royal Doulton. Misc. Royal Daulton Photos	6/23/2010	Rodney G. Dalton, Utah
