The
author found herself sharing a breakfast table at a Fabian weekend with Hugh
Dalton, who was then Chancellor of the Exchequer. This is a short history

Minister of Economic Warfare in 1940. In 1945, he became Chancellor of the
Exchequer, but divulged the Budget secrets to a journalist friend and resigned

The History of John Dalton 1763-1838 by Rodney G. Dalton |
25 |
John was
born in 1763 in Maryland to Irish parents just after the Indian wars.
Peace had been established in 1762. John had two brothers, James born 1765
and Charles born 1767, and one sister Polly who was born in 1769. The
Daltons had moved out of Maryland before 1790.
A table
gives a list of John's military service in the
Revolutionary war. He left the Army in 1791. There follows a
description of life in those times, what they wore and what they ate. John
married Betty Cooker and they had ten children. The family is in the 1790
census of Philadelphia.
After 1806,
John got a piece of land in Wysox town, Pennsylvania, and he called his farm
Dalton Hollow. There is a short history of Bradford Country, and a list of
things that happened while the family lived at Dalton Hollow. The First
Presbyterian church at Wysox was where the family worshipped. It joined
with the Congregational Church in 1830 and several members of the family
subscribed to the building of the new church.
The 1830
census .shows four Dalton families living in the town. In 1833, John's son Henry was drowned in the flooded river. In 1835
the Daltons moved to Michigan and there were then almost 50 people in the
family. John Dalton died in 1838, not knowing that the family would become
famous founders of the Mormon Church in Utah.
