Dalton Genealogy Eliza Dalton family genealogy

Seal of Pittsylvania County, VirginiaImage via Wikipedia
In the past few days through census records, we have found that Eliza Brumfield my grandmother's mother was a Dalton.  Her name was Eliza C. or K. Dalton.  Her father was Winchester Dalton.  He served in the civil war as a private and her mother was Annie Dalton.

Winchester's father's name was David Dalton.  In 1860, he was still living with his father and his father's wife was Abigail Dalton.  Winchester was 24 in 1860 and his father's wife was 47 so I believe that this is probably his mother.  But when I look at the 1850 census Abigail is 31 and Winchester was 18.  That is really off.  I also know that a Judith was married to a David Dalton in Pittsylvania County, but I don't know when.

I am trying to find some back information and since Pittsylvania County came out of Halifax, I will be looking at these records also.

I found in the book History of Halifax County that Timothy Dalton bought or patented 280 acres on Rocky Creek  March  1747-48  page 35

Dalton Genealogy Eliza Dalton family

In the 1910 census, they list Annie Brumfield.  That would be Mildred Ann Brumfield.
Carrie Brumfield, Landy Brumfield, that would be Lundy.  New additions are Albert C., Dewey W., Ollie R. Brumfield and Oscar Brumfield.  In this census she said that she had ten children and 9 had survived.  So no children had died in the last ten years because she said in her 1900 census that she had 6 children and five survived and between 1900 and 1910 she had four more children.  In the 1920 census she had two more children Velma and Adell.
So there was Mack, James Morgan, Carrie, Mildred Ann, Lun, Albert C. (Clyde), Dewey, Ollie, Oscar, Velma and Adell.   Dewey was named after Eliza Dalton Brumfield's father Winchester Dalton.  Dewey's name was Dewey Winchester.

Dalton family Eliza Dalton

1900 census StillImage via Wikipedia


I have reported what the census reported as to what the names were for the John Brumfield and Eliza Dalton family.  However, some of them may be wrong.

In the 1900 census they have the following names listed.  
Lizzie M. Brumfield-14  not in 1910 census (married or passed away)
James M. Brumfield-10 not in 1910 census (probably married or passed away)
Millie A. Brumfield-8  not in 1910 census married or passed away
Carry E. Brumfield-5
Naum L. Brumfield-2  not in 1910 census married or passed away

From family documents I cannot find any information on a Lizzie M.    She may have passed away.  There was a Carry Brumfield  1884-1964.  Millie A. Brumfield (Mildred Anne) lived from 1892 to 1960.  She was named after her two grandmothers  Mildred Bobbitt and Annie Dalton.   James Morgan Brumfield was born in 1889 and died 1963.  I believe the Naum L. is Lun Brumfield.  It probably isn't Naum, but the name is illegible. The only one that I am missing in the 1900 census that I know about is Mack Brumfield or David Mack Brumfield.  He went by Mack.  He was born 1885 and that would have made him 15.  I don't know if he was living somewhere else or not.  I found a draft registration card for David Mack Brumfield and James Morgan Brumfield.  Mack Brumfield was living in Lunenberg County in 1942 and James Morgan Brumfield was living in Pittsylvania County in 1942.

Dalton Genealogy March 10, 2011

I have already posted and proved that I am the granddaughter of Ira Lee Dalton and Velma Olvis Brumfield Dalton.  I have taken my ancestry for Ira Dalton's father Albert back to 1806.  That is for just the Dalton family. Now until I have time to research I cannot obtain any more definitive information about the Jarrett Dalton side. But wait, my grandmother Velma's mother was a Dalton too.  So let's get that out of the way.  Will grandmama and granddaddy be cousins.  We will see.

By Velma and Ira Dalton's marriage license recorded in Campbell County, Virginia, we find that Velma Brumfield is the daughter of John Brumfield and Eliza Dalton.

My mother and aunt went to Pittsylvania County and picked up a copy of John Brumfield and Eliza Dalton's marriage license.  They were married in Pittsylvania County, Virginia on October 18, 1883.  He was 22 and she was 14.  Oh, my.  John Brumfield's father and mother were Vincent and Milly Brumfield and Eliza Dalton's mother and father were Winchester and Annie Dalton.  They were united in marriage by William S. McDowell.

That was in 1883.  Twenty three years before Winchester and Ann Dalton were united in marriage by the same man William S. McDowell.  Now these two people were both Daltons.  This will probably be very confusing.  I ordered a copy of the marriage license from the bureau of vital statistics.  They said the date of the marriage was November 29, 1860 at Pittsylvania County, Virginia.  The Husband was Winchester Dalton and the wife Ann Dalton.  He was 25 and she was 20.  They were both born in Pittsylvania County and lived there.  The occupation was farmer.  The parents of Winchester Dalton were  David Dalton.  No first name was given for David Dalton's wife.  Ann Dalton's parents were Booker and E. Dalton.

Dalton Ancestor Genealogy March 9, 2010

The state seal of Virginia.Image via Wikipedia


So I have found my ancestors back to 1806 Jarrett P. Dalton.  That much is a sure thing and I could probably go with the census and one gravemarker as proof.  However, I will try to get a copy of the marriage license and just maybe that will help me find Jarrett P's father.  Jarratt P and his father will link me to the American Revolution.

Now I think that it is very difficult to do any of this work before 1806 without going to the Library or to the courthouse.  Unfortunately for most of us, we do not live in the county that houses our ancestor's deeds, marriages and the like and to hire someone could be very costly.

Yesterday I logged onto the Library of Virginia site.  They do have some digitalized images and I found Jarrett Dalton's Pension request.  It states that he was a soldier with the 13th Virginia Light Artillery Batallion.  The witness was Jubal Dalton, W. B. Shepherd and R. G. West.  It said that he had a ruptured bad eye sight and chronic rheumatism due to exposure during the war.

To find this information go to http://www.lva.virginia.gov/.  On the home page will be three categories at the bottom  (1)  For The Public  (2)For Localities and State Agencies and (3) For Libraries and Educators.  Click on Digital Collections under  (1) For the Public

You have clicked on Digital Collections. Next you will see numerous selections.  Click on  Collections A to Z.  Now scroll down until you see Confederate Disability Applications and Receipts.

Click on that one.   Now under this selecton  Browse An Alphabetical List.
Type Word or Phrase.  Type in the last name of your ancestor.  In my case I typed in Dalton.
When all the selections popped up my name was not on the list, but wait there is somewhere else to look.

Hit the back button key until it takes you back to the List of Collections A to Z.  Right under Confederate Disability Applications and Receipts you will find Confederate Pension Rolls:  Veterans and Widows.  Click on this.
As before go to the Browse An Alphabetical List:
Type Word or Phrase.  Type in the last name of your ancestor.  Once again I typed in Dalton.
There were quite a few Daltons so I kept hitting the next key until I came upon the J's and there was Jarrett.  Now I click on Jarrett.  This takes me to Jarrett's individual file and I click on his name again.  This takes me to Jarrett document image file.  I click on the http image above his name and this directs me to his pension file.  Each file usually consists of four or more pages.  Each page is individually separated.  I click on each page and make a copy for my files.

So with this application I have found out information about my ancestor.  It has not helped me find out about his grandfather, but I know a little bit more about the man.

March 8, 2011 Jarrett P. Dalton 1806 to 1875

I am going back to the census reports again.  The 1840 census only has the name of the head of the household.  The head of our household in 1840 is Jarret P. Dalton.  There are twelve people living in the house and no slaves are listed.  He has a boy and a girl between the ages of zero and five, a boy and two girls between the ages five and nine, one boy and one girl between the ages ten and fourteen, one boy between the ages fifteen and nineteen, one girl between the age of twenty and twenty-nine, one man and one woman between the ages of thirty and thirty nine and one woman between the ages of fifty and fifty nine for a total of twelve.

In the 1850 census, the information is better.  The census was taken on September 13, 1850.   Jarret Dalton is 44 and a farm laborer, His wife Mary is 42, sons are Jubrel - 17, John - 13, Jarrett - 6, William - 2.  His daughters are Matilda - 24, Martha - 19, Sarah - 15, Susan - 11.

Obviously, Jarrett and Mary, his wife are the two between the ages of thirty and thirty nine in the 1840 census.  The one female that was between the ages 20 and 29 in the 1840 census is no longer there as is the female of  50 to 59.  William and Jarrett were born after the 1840 census.   John and Susan would have possibly been the children from 0 to 5,  Jubrel, Martha and Sarah would have been the 5 to 9 and Matilda could have been in the fifteen to nine category or the ten to fourteen.  In any case we have one missing male and three missing females.    Whether they died or left home for marriage or to seek their own fortune, I do not know yet.

I have a marriage date for Jarret P. and Mary T. Watlington of March 12, 1828.

Huckstep's Va Battery Artillery DemoImage by LostBob Photos via Flickr
I have been working on the census for Jarrett Dalton for the last two days and I thought I would stop on that part of the journey and talk about his involvement in the civil war.

Jarrett Dalton enlisted on March 7, 1863 at 19 years of age.  He would be 20 on July 17th.  He enlisted in the Virginia Light Artillery Battery Company B also known as Virginia Danville "Ringgold" Artillery Battery.
He enlisted at Thorn Spring, Virginia.  This is somewhere near Dublin, Virginia.  I found that on that same day and same place Nolen Dalton, John Clark and Wyatt Walker also enlisted.  Nolen Dalton was the brother of Winchester Dalton.   Winchester's great grangdaughter Velma would one day marry Jarrett Dalton's great grandson, Ira.  These four men would survive the civil war.

Jarret's brother Jubal enlisted in the Virginia 57th Infantry Company D as a private on April 30, 1862 and his brother John enlisted on October 8, 1861 with 57th Infantry Company D.  Both survived the civil war.  John was listed as having a fair complexion, hazel eyes and brown hair.

I am finding a small discrepancy in the 1880 and the 1900 census.  In the 1880 census he has a daughter named Queen E. that is eight.  In 1900 there is a daughter named Hester E that is 28.  They must be the same person,but I don't know about the names.


But in any case, these are the facts as we know them from the census.

We now have proved that Albert Lee Dalton existed, his marriage,his father and mother's name, his date of birth.  This will help us to move on with his father.  J. T. Dalton.

The next neighbor in the census is Tabitha Ward

1860 census was a little bit trickier.  I searched in Ancestry.com for Jarratt Dalton and I found nothing. I started scrolling through all the Daltons and then I tried just going through the Northern District census for 1860, but to no avail.  And then I thought about his neighbors.  Why not check Tabitha Ward and and see who is living near her in 1860.  They were living side by side in 1850 so why not in 1860. I found Tabitha and I found him.   The transcriber for ancestry.com had written his name as Janett P. Dutton.

Jarrett P. Dalton  52
Matilda Dalton 32
Sarah Dalton  23

Jarrett Dalton 17  farm laborer
William H. Dalton 13


Now we know that they are living near Tabitha Ward and that they are farm Laborers.  Could they have been working for Tabitha at some point. I don't know, but I do know this.  Young Jarrett Dalton's son Albert married Rose Dove.  Rose Dove was the great granddaughter of Tabitha Ward.  Albert would marry Rose and in doing so own some of the property which once belonged to the land baron John Ward.  Albert would live out his life on this land.

By the 1850 and 1860 census we have found Jarrett Dalton's brothers and sisters.  His mother's name was Mary.  She was not listed in the census of 1860. So we must assume that she died between the years 1850 and 1860.
