extracted by K. T. Mapstone, DGS Researcher Eclipses, comets, meteor showers! All were recorded in the Irish Annals, as well as other significant events. Warfare amongst the Irish and against invaders is the common theme. Mediaeval Daltons (Dalatun, Dalatunaig, Dhalatunachaibh) have been extracted from the Annals of Connaught, Annals of the Four Masters, Annals of Ireland and Annals of Ulster. They were scribed by many authors. A good number of the unknowns were monastics and most of the known chroniclers were family historians. These Annals have been reorganized into a date order that begins in 1328 and continues through 1554. The result is before you - a timeline of your "Daltons in History". Annals of Ireland Volume 3 M1328.26 Annals of Ulster U1369.5 Annals of Ulster U1373.2 Annals of Connacht AC1373.3 Annals of the Four Masters Volume 4 M1373.3 Annals of the Four Masters Volume 4 M1374.3 Annals of the Four Masters Volume 4 M1379.3 Annals of the Four Masters Volume 4 M1381.15 Annals of the Four Masters Volume 4 M1386.3 Annals of the Four Masters Volume 4 M1386.4 Annals of Connacht AC1386.4 Annals of the Four Masters Volume 4 M1386.6 Annals of Connacht AC1398.8 Annals of Ireland Volume 4 M1408.5 Annals of Connacht AC1408.11 Annals of the Four Masters Volume 4 M1414.9 This was the second poetical miracle performed by this Niall O'Higgin, the first being the discomfiture of the Clann-Conway the night they plundered Niall at Cladann; and the second, the death of John Stanley Annals of Connacht AC1422.26 Annals of Connacht AC1422.28 Annals of Ireland Volume 4 M1429.13 Annals of Connacht AC1439.5 Annals of Connacht AC1452.3 Editor's note.

from Millicent V. Craig If you have read the preceding article, Irish Annals, and the exploits of Daltons in midaeval times, the American Dalton Gang now appear to have been gentlemen. Movies, television, books and magazine articles have transformed the image of members of the Gang into that of cult heroes. Recently, Bill Dalton Phillips of Oklahoma, a descendent of Bea Elizabeth (Leila) Dalton Phillips and one of the few living descendents of the Gang, contacted your editor and sent data and pictures related to his ancestors. Bill asked that they be put on the web to share with everyone who has an interest in his family and to correct erroneous information that has been posted on the web. Bill states that he has a "room full" of Dalton memorabilia and if you would like to be in contact with him, write to: Millicenty@aol.com. Bill has contributed to several publications, including the book, "The Outlaw Gang" by Nancy Samuelson. From the Dalton Family Chart James and Adeline Dalton had 15 children; ten boys and 5 girls. All
were born in Missouri. Notes from Obituaries. Memorial Obituary In 1887 a small house was built by John Whipple for his bride, Eva May Dalton. This house stands on the corner of Pearlotte and Green St. in Meade, KS, is known as the Dalton Museum and is the center of the annual Dalton Days festivities. When the Gang visited their sister they allegedly used the escape tunnel that was dug from the house to the barn. This small museum was visited by a record attendance of 28,000 in the year 2000 and folks came from 23 nations. Memorial Obituary Littleton Dalton Memorial Obituary Adaline and Leona's Log Cabin Above is a picture of the cabin in which Leona lived with her mother,
Adaline, in Adaline's later years. This cabin is located at the Chisholm
Trail Museum in Kingfisher, OK. Bill Dalton Phillips is pictured outside
the cabin. One of the artifacts is a Victorian hired man's mirror given
to Adaline by her father, Charles Younger, and brought by covered wagon
to Kingfisher, OK in 1890. Editor's note. It was not the intent to cover all 15 children and their deeds in this short review but to highlight a few facets and images of this family that are not so widely known. |
